The History of Astrology

The book describes the history of astrology from Babylon and Greece to the present day. The historical role of astrology lies in the fact that it unveils the social and intellectual aspects of history in science, religion, philosophy, politics, and art. Astrology has been the mirror in which the changing spirit of each century is reflected, an intellectual inquiry to which hardly anyone among classical thinkers, minds of the Middle Ages, or the Renaissance remained indifferent. It has undergone an unusual process of democratization, transforming from a religious, royal, political art into a universal guide to understanding human character. . .
