It is said that horoscopes began with the ancient Greeks thousands of years ago. It started with information regarding when to plant crops and when is a good time to harvest, if you ask me I would say this is definitely strong superstitions. They took the position of the Sun and planets had how it affected one’s life. It would let you know what future events would happen depending on your date of birth. Some also believed that the future cannot be predicted but they could use the information to predict possible influences that the planets would have on one’s life. Later on people in China and after that Egypt started practicing astrology. The word Astrology means “Science of the Stars” and is a Greek word. A person’s horoscope is also call a birth chart. They selected twelve months and assigned the twelve zodiac signs depending on what month and date you were born. This they did by taking into account the position of the planets at the time of year you were born and somehow this allowed them to can predict your behavior and intelligence. I have read not only my horoscope but all twelve and did not notice anyone had anything negative, now if this is true it simply says that us humans were born good people but later on in our lives some of us changed our behavior to become bad. I do not know why did happens, is it the way one adapts to society or is it bad parenting. I have no answer since I do not know. But I can definitely tell you that this part of is very true.
