  • Astrology originated in Babylon,within the context of divination. It developed out of the belief that since the Gods in the heavens ruled man's fate, the stars could reveal fortunes and the concept that the motions of the stars and planets control the fate of people on earth. The motions of the stars and planets are mainly the result of the earth's movement around the sun, which causes: 1) the sun to move eastward against the background of the constellations; 2) the planets and moon to shift around the sky; and 3) causes different constellations to rise from the horizon at sunset different times of the year.
