History

It was during this Ancient Greek period that the 12-star signs of the zodiac were set down. The Babylonians had already divided the zodiac into 12 equal signs by 1500 BC, boasting similar constellation names to the ones familiar today, such as The Great Twins, The Lion, The Scales -- and these were later incorporated into Greek divination. Some form of astrology shows up in various belief systems in ancient cultures. The Sumerians and Babylonians, by around the middle of the second millennium BC, appeared to have had many divination practices. Their idea that watching planets and stars was a way to keep track of where gods were in the sky can be traced to The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa. This tablet, dated to the first millennium BC and tracks the motion of Venus, is one of the earliest pieces of what's been called Babylonian planetary omens. The ancient Egyptians contributed the idea that patterns of stars are made up of constellations, through which the sun appears to "move" at specific times during the year. (1).
