  16. Historical Horoscopes Menu • Astrology was first developed in Sumaria roughly 4000 years ago • It then became further integrated into civilization during the Hellenistic period, when it was incorporated to the Greek mythology. This is where the zodiacs and the other principles that we use today are from. • As Christianity spread through Europe, Astrology died down. • Today it is widely used as a novelty.

  17. How Valid is Astrology? Menu • It is not valid at all. When astrology was created, the scientific knowledge of the time was incorrect in relation to the astronomical function and alignment of the planets. • Today Astronomers and Scientists scoff at any possibility that there is truth in Astrology.

  18. (Validity contd.) Menu • One would think that horoscopes would be the same no matter what source they came from. Nowadays horoscopes have become somewhat of a novelty Many are different, contain opposing viewpoints and suggestions, and differ from one to another Here's a horoscope from yahoo. COM for 4/15/05 for the sign pisces: Quickie: Your opinions are only opinions. Don't turn them into a manifesto.

  19. Then Why is it so Popular? Menu • Today, people have access to all forms of media without any major effort. Looking at a horoscope is simple and can be a fun way to imagine the possibilities of the future. People apply the general statements to specific portions of their personal lives. • Surprisingly enough, roughly 22% of Americans believe in what they find in their horoscope. • As long as there is demand, there is money to be made.

  20. Astrology vs. Astronomy Menu • Astrology: The study that assumes and attempts to interpret the influence of the heavenly bodies on human affairs. • (Not scientific*) • Astronomy: The science that deals with the material universe beyond the earths atmosphere • (Scientific*)
