Astrology in the ancient world

Astrology, today, despite the dominance of astronomy in the way we view the universe, stars, planets and weather, still carries its seduction and attracts people’s souls and occupies them with its captivating attraction and its ability to invent means that ensure its continuity and its ability to innovate and even benefit from the achievements of astronomy and adapt them to its amazing miraculous path. We have found that in the history of ancient astrology there are many keys with which we can open many intractable civilizational, religious and mythological mysteries, as the hidden magical core in astrology represents a source of permanent seduction, in all ages, as it is what injects it with strangeness and dazzle and sweeps the borders of the unknown and gives it this special charm, and a great scientist like Carl Gustav Jung did not hesitate to use it in his entire intellectual system, and many others did like him. This book attempts to explore the history of astrology in the ancient world, which extends from prehistoric times until the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD, and stops at the beginning of medieval history. It deals with astrology in prehistoric times, then Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Persian, Indian and Chinese astrology.
