Since antiquity, cultures have looked to the sky for meaning, with celestial movements forming the core of astrology for millennia. This practice has inspired reverence and deepened self-understanding. While modern horoscopes are familiar, their roots trace back to ancient Mesopotamia, where astronomy and astrology were once intertwined sister sciences. From ancient observatories to Galileo casting horoscopes, the influence of astrology extended to art, literature, and psychology, shaping thinkers like Goethe and Blake.
