El. knyga: Secrets of the Sky: A Journey into the World of Astrology and the Stars

Astrology was born at the dawn of humanity, closely linked to human existence on Earth. In its early days, and with the development of the first civilizations, man developed a deep interest in observing the stars and planets and calculating their orderly movements. He used this knowledge in his attempts to predict his future, as an attempt to calm himself and reduce his fears of the unknown. In this ongoing journey to find a greater power controlling their destinies, the rudimentary calculations of astronomy begin to emerge. At that time, astronomers were also astrologers, and there was no clear separation between the two sciences. The ancient Greeks were among the first to lay down the basic foundations of astrology, which are still in use today. These foundations do not only reflect an attempt to understand the cosmic world, but also man''s constant aspiration to understand his place and destiny in this vast universe. The roots of astrology go back to ancient times, deeply intertwined with human history. It is linked to the beginning of man''s awareness that the ground beneath his feet represents the ground on which he stands, while the sky with its stars represents the sky above him. This initial understanding allowed man to understand the cycles of astronomy and the changes of the seasons. Archaeologists and researchers have observed evidence of this in inscriptions, symbols and markings found on bone fragments and cave walls.
