The History of Horescopes

How did the horescopes begin? Who created the horescopes? Have you wondered? Horescopes and astrology began with the ancient Greeks housands of years ago. They evolved the belief that the position of the sun and the planets had an effect on a person's life and future events would happen to them can be predicted based upon their location.

The word astrology is a Greek term that means "Science of the Stars." Astrology was used by the Chaldeans who lived in Babylon as early as 3000 BC. The people of China later became interested and began practicing Astrology. Then, in the year 500 BC, philosopher Plato used Astrology and studied it further. It later took a downturn when Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope in the 1500's. However, as time went by, astronomy once again took an upswing in popularity when it flourished in Egypt around 300 BC. During the Middle Ages, the practice of astrology quietly hid itself as the Christian Church became the predominent leading voice of the new world. It wasn't until the 1600's when an astrologer named William Lilly renamed astrology as being "Christian Astrology" in order to avoid the wrath of the Church and to make it more acceptable. This was instrumental in popularizing astrology and horescopes of today.
