Hi. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Gnobo A. Calypso, also known as Bryce. And I'm here
to tell you about astrology. The first thing I want to speak to you about is where astrology
comes from. Astrology comes from the ancient civilizations. Astrology has been used all
across the globe. The Mayans used it. The Aztecs used it. The Egyptians used it. The
Chaldeans, the Babylons used it. And, the India used it. Today there's different forms
of astrology and there's different calculations. But, today we're going to be working with
Western numerology. Western numerology is mostly centered in Greece. And, it deals with
all the planets, the cycles of the planets, the movement of the planets, and depending
upon what day you were born and what time, usually the precise time because it's measured
by degrees, depends upon what your astrological reading would be. So, with the ancients, they
used an overview of the astrology mostly to determine a little bit about the person. But,
astrology was used in medicine. It was used in healing. It was used in forecasting. The
courts had astrologers that would forecast events for different kings and pharaohs. So,
astrology, even though it is a soft science, can be a very accurate science depending on
which school of thought that you use. Western numerology is an overall astrology that's
the most popular. But, there are various forms. The ancients in the, in Egypt and Babylon
and Chaldea used the astrology. They knew the planets. They knew the cycles of the planets.
They knew that's how the calendar was based upon the Sun going through the different cycles
of the planets and the astrological signs which there are twelve. The Egyptians felt
that there were more than three hundred and sixty days, so they added another five which
comes from Sirius, the star system Sirius. But, that's just to show the fluctuation within
the days and why that there's different systems, different schools of thought about calendars.
We're going to be dealing with the Sun, the Moon, and the nine planets today to do the
basic readings of the twelve astrological signs which go from Pisces to Aquarius.
