Someone once said that astrology is a divinatory practice capable of predicting only the past.
It would seem to be just a joke, but after all - needless to deny it - it is the opinion of a very large part of the scientific world...
And this is where it gets weird because apparently, centuries of discoveries in the field of astronomy have not yet managed to dent the fascination, nor diminish the interest that people of all social statuses have in this ancient discipline.
But why so much interest in predictions and character profiles even at a time in history like ours, where knowledge seems to have deprived astrology of its fundamental basis?
The answer may lie in the need to define our own personality and that of others and in the way we perceive reality, shaping part of our expectations of it. It is a psychological need, then, a door we human beings need to leave wide open to the unknown -- an escape route, one might say. And more: a desire to put the responsibility for our actions back into the hands of something greater than ourselves. And all this makes astrology resemble some naturalistic religion--something one would not even have the right to opine on...
But then there is the more crudely scientific aspect to examine. And that is what we are here for today. We don't begrudge the many "believers," or even curious and mere sympathizers!
To begin with, allow me a very brief historical introduction to the origins of astrology. The Babylonians were the first to believe that there was a correspondence between the motion of the eternal sky and temporal earthly events.
