YOUR FORTUNE IN THE STARS

Astronomy and astrology Seen from the Earth, the stars in the night sky seem to turn around everyth But the position of the stars, in relation to each other, does not seem to change they are so distant. The sun, the moon and the planets, on the other hand, came their position constantly in relation to the stars. It seemed to people in ancien min that the sky was like a glass ball. The Earth seemed to be at the centre, and the stars were fixed on the

surface of the glass ball, while the sun and moon and planets made complicated movements on the surface of the ball. 

Several ancient peoples - for example, the egyptians, the Babylonians, the Greeks and Arabs were very good at calculating the movements of the planets and were even able to predict eclipses of the sun, when the moon hides it, and of the moon when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon. This was the beginning of the science of astronomy.

They were interested in the "movements of the stars". That is, of the planets because they believed that the stars" controlled life on Earth the fertility of the land and of animals, thi viraracter and the actions of people, and the good or bad luck of nations. So, from the position of the planets, they tried to predict good or bad moments for religious ceremonies, weddings, and wars, to tell people's fortunes and in general, to see into the future. This was the false science of astrology.
