The Babylonians are generally recognized as a practice and science of astrology. Their astrologiska charts enabled them to predict recurrence of seasons and certain astronomical events. So at the beginning and over 2000 years, astronomy and astrology was the same science.
Babylonian astrology was introduced to the Greeks in the early 4th century BC, and by undertaking research, Plato, Aristotle, and others, astrology was highly regarded as a science. It was soon supported by the Romans (the Roman names of zodiac signs are still used today) and Arabs and later spread throughout the world.
Although the earliest astrology was used to get a sense of apparent chaos, he was soon forecasts weather conditions, primarily for agricultural purposes. In the end, it was extended to forecast natural disasters, war and other events in the influence of the human condition. After successes in these areas was founded, it was a natural progression for astrology to cause counselling for Kings and emperors, and eventually to the public.
It is expected that the Zodiac (derived from the Greek word meaning of animals) has been developed in ancient Egypt and later Babylonians. Early astrologers knew it took 12 lunar cycles (i.e., months) for the Sun to come back to its original position. They then identified 12 constellations that they observed were linked to the seasons and the names of certain animals and designated persons (in Babylon, such as the rainy season was found to occur when the Sun was particularly constellation Aquarius water carrier or name).
Around the year 2000 BC the Babylonian astrologers believed that the Sun, moon, and five planets known at that time (Jupiter, Mars, mercury, Saturn and Venus) possessed distinct powers. March, for example showed red and was associated with war and aggression.
