A beginner’s guide to astrology Anoushka Mekerira Astrology is a field of study that involves forecasting earthly and human events through observing and interpreting the fixed stars, the sun, the moon, and the planets. It is an ancient and compelling aspect of people’s lives. Astrology originated with the Babylonians developing their form of horoscopes around 2,400 years ago. Then around 2,100 years ago, astrology spread to the eastern Mediterranean, becoming popular in Egypt. The zodiac, the 12 signs listed in a horoscope, are closely tied to earthly movements through the heavens. The sun sign dictates your zodiac personality and is influenced by your day and month of birth. Many other factors affect your zodiac personality, but your sun sign is like the cover of the book.
