  • Histroy of Astrology
    THE HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY THE HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY Astrology consists of a number of belief systems which hold that there is a relationship between visible astronomical phenomena and events in the human world. In the West, astrology most often consists of a system of horoscopes that claim to predict aspects of an individual's personality or life history based on the positions of the sun, moon, and planetary objects at the time of their birth. Many other cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indian, Chinese, and Mayan cultures developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations. Source : Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia THE HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY Astrology’s origins in Indo-European cultures trace to the third millennium BCE, with roots in calendrical systems used to predict seasonal shifts and to interpret celestial cycles as signs of divine communications. Through most of its history it was considered a scholarly tradition. It was accepted in political and academic contexts, and its concepts were built into other studies, such as astronomy, alchemy, meteorology, and medicine. At the end of the 17th century, new scientific concepts in astronomy (such as heliocentrism) began to damage the credibility of astrology, which subsequently lost its academic and theoretical standing. Astrology saw a popular revival in the 19th and 20th centuries as part of a general revival of spiritualism and later New Age philosophy, and through the influence of mass media such as newspaper horoscopes. ETYMOLOGY The word astrology comes from the Latin astrologia, deriving from the Greek noun αστρολογία , which combines ἄἄἄστρο astro, 'star, celestial body' with λογία logia, 'study of, theory, discourse (about)'.

Worship the sun-god, the ruler of the worlds, who is crowned with rays, who appears at the horizon, who is greeted by gods and demons, and brings light. Indeed he is the embodiment of all gods and full of glory and creates and sustains the gods and the demons as well as their worlds by his rays. Indeed he is the same as Brahma as well as Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Skanda, Prajapati, the mighty Indra, Kubera, Kala, Yama, Soma, Varuna, the Pitris, the Vasus, the Sadyhas, the Ashwins, the Maruts, Manu, Vayu, and the god of Fire.
