Since its start, the astrology intention has been to predict the opportune moment in order to do something, aswer questions, and to predict worldly events, along to analyze individual destiny. All these stuff based on what considered the main event, the birth, and performed by the typical mean of the celestial map, how it was, at the moment, in the place of the event.

Nowadays, nearly the totality of the persons of the western world knows his/her own zodiacal's sign. Many of them read regularly the oroscope for the sign which they belong, finding in it a moment of entertainment and fun, more or less trusting in what it foresee.

As it was said, since the origins of the humanity, persons have tried to have a sort of guide from the observation of the sky. Still now, many agricultural jobs are programmed based on the lunar phases.

The origins of the western astrology go back, to approximately 2300 years before the birth of Christ, in the ancient Mesopotamia. From there the astrology arrived in Greece where illustrious philosophers and mathematicians studied it. One among all Tolomeo, that got back studies made by Aristotle. In the western world, with the hellenica civilization, the astrology was diffused as well. And, at the same time, it also exited from the exclusive group of the nobles families.

Since then, the astrology has had highs and lows, renewal and disappearances, until it was divided in two branchs: Astronomy and Astrology. The Astronomy was developed following rigorous scientific and mathematic laws, while the Astrology walked more esoteric roads.

In our days, no new year starts without a row of astrologists that predict good luck, more than misfortune, to the people of every zodiacal sign for the incoming year. Moreover, there is no newspaper or magazine, and now web sites, without the traditional astrologic columns.
