History of Astrology The pseudoscience of Astrology deals with the influence of the stars upon human affairs and the fortelling of future events. In early times, when the earth was regarded as the center of the universe, and as that to which all else was somehow tributary, it was a not unnatural hypothesis that the changing configurations of the heavenly bodies might be indicative of human destiny, or might influence human character. Since, most ancient peoples, became believers in Astrology with the exception of the Greeks. It was partly the cause and partly the effect of the prevalent worship of the heavenly bodies. The ordinary method of determining horoscopes in the Middle Ages was to divide a globe into 12 portions by circles running from pole to pole, like those which now mark meridians and longitude. Each of the 12 spaces or intervals between these circles was called a "house of heaven". The sun, the moon, and the stars all pass once in 24 hours through the portion of the heavens represented by the 12 "houses of heaven". Each one of these houses of heaven is supposed to have one of the 12 signs of the Zodiac ruling over it as its lord. The houses symbolize different advantages or disadvantages. The first is the house of life: the second, of riches; the third, of brethren; the fourth, of parents; the fifth, of children; the sixth of health; the seventh, of marriage; the eighth of death; the ninth of religion; the tenth of dignities; the eleventh, of friends; and the twelfth, of enemies. The houses vary in strength, the first one, that containing the part of the heavens about to rise being the most powerful of all is called the ascendent, while the point of the ecliptic just rising is termed the horoscope. The important matter was to ascertain what house and star was in ascendant at that moment of a person's birth, from which it was deemed possible to tell his fortune. It follows that all people born in the same part of the world at the same time ought to have had the same future, an allegation which experience decisively contradicted. Even apart from this, astrological predictions of all kinds had a fatal tendency to pass away without being fulfilled. Therefore, since the middle of the 17th century, interest in astrology has declined.
