What Is Astrology?
Astrology is the study of how the alignments of the stars and planets are believed to affect our lives. The Babylonians are believed to have had the first organized astrology system which approximately more than 2,000 years ago.
The Greeks are responsible for the signs that we know of today although there is strong believe that there are Chinese, Indian and Egyptian influences also.
