"Astrology is one of the oldest and most accurate tools known to mankind."
- Hippocrates
Astrology has historically been known as the search for human meaning in the sky; seeking to understand general and specific human behavior AND human history and human future through the influence of planets and other celestial objects. However, this has been misinterpreted for thousands of years. It has been argued that astrology began as a study as soon as human beings made conscious attempts to measure, record, and predict seasonal changes by reference to astronomical cycles. However, this is not true. It wasn't a study.
We knew how to read it, as the ancients taught us, we have lost some of the knowledge behind WHY it exists, however.
A great deal of evidence from ancient history was destroyed and misinterpreted. Discoveries in science, metaphysics, ether, time, space, and consciousness have yet to be incorporated into new archeological discoveries. How humans have turned their back on nature, not just human nature but the Earth itself, our DNA, and the very nature of consciousness are now just starting to be fully realized, putting society at a huge loss while at the precipice of enormous potential. We are about to evolve again, but in a much different way than we have seen in the past 12,000 years.
People are stressed out, lost, and in need of real answers. Humans have lost the true context of how the universe plays a role in one of the oldest living road maps and calendars that have always existed for this planet (and other planets) and its inhabitants - astrology.
Early evidence of such practices appears as markings on bones and cave walls, which show that lunar cycles were being noted as early as 25,000 years ago; the first step towards recording the moon's influence upon the ocean tides and rivers, and towards organizing a communal calendar are in existence and not disputed. With the Neolithic agricultural revolution, new needs were also met by increasing knowledge of constellations, whose appearances in the night-time sky change with the seasons, allowing the rising of particular star groups to herald annual floods or seasonal activities. By the 3rd millennium BC, widespread civilizations had developed sophisticated awareness of celestial cycles, and are believed to have consciously oriented their temples to create alignment with the heliacal risings of the stars.
There is scattered evidence to suggest that the oldest known astrological references are copies of texts made during this period, particularly in Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, and Babylonia). Two, from the Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa (compiled in Babylon around 1700 BC) are reported to have been made during the reign of King Sargon of Akkad (2334-2279 BC). Another, showing an early use of electional astrology, is ascribed to the reign of the Sumerian ruler Gudea of Lagash (c. 2144 - 2124 BC). This describes how the colonists, or Annunaki, knew the constellations that would be most favorable for the planned construction of a temple. The oldest undisputed evidence of the use of astrology as an integrated system of knowledge is therefore attributed to the records that emerged from the first dynasty of Mesopotamia (1950-1651 BC).
Watching planets and stars was a way to keep track of where gods (aliens) were in the sky can be traced to The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa. This tablet, which is 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 made up constellations, through which the sun appears to “move” at specific times during the year.

The inception of astrology is inextricably linked to the world's first civilization, the Sumerians of Mesopotamia. Situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, this civilization flourished around 4000 BCE and is credited with numerous pioneering advancements.
"Live according to nature, and what nature demands is to live according to reason." (The Stoic philosophy, emphasizes living in harmony with the natural order, a concept that resonates with astrological views.)
- Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Roman emperor)
The physical evolution of human society on Earth is a well-established fact. However, other external influences aided in the development of the soul/spirit of Homo-sapien-sapiens. Many ancient and present-day tribes around the world have spoken of the Earth as their mother and the sky as their father. In this context, the term "father" refers to the universe, its creation, and the existence of a few species from other planets and dimensions. These extraterrestrial beings have been observing and waiting for Earth and its inhabitants to mature as 3rd-dimensional beings. Only after this maturation or evolution can we transcend the 3rd dimension and ascend to the 4th and 5th dimensions. To help the beings and the Earth ascend, the Earth has a natural guidance system in place, or clock - otherwise known as our Zodiac.
The zodiac is a belt-shaped region of the sky that extends approximately 8° north and south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, which is the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the year. The orbital paths of the Moon and major planets are within the belt of the zodiac. The English word zodiac derives from the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek zōdiakòs kýklos (ζῳδιακός κύκλος), meaning "cycle or circle of little animals". Zōdion (ζῴδιον) is the diminutive of zōon (ζῷον, "animal"). The name reflects the prominence of animals (and mythological hybrids) among the twelve signs.
In Western astrology, and formerly astronomy, the zodiac is divided into the following twelve signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each occupies 30° of celestial longitude and roughly corresponds to the astronomical constellations with the same name. These astrological signs form a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically an ecliptic coordinate system, which takes the ecliptic as the origin of latitude and the Sun's position at vernal equinox as the origin of longitude
This division of the ecliptic into zodiac signs originated with Babylonian/Anunnaki/Sumerian astronomy during the 1st millennium BC. These astronomers/astrologers divided the ecliptic into 12 equal "signs". Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the time of year the Sun. The zodiac was communicated into Greek astronomy by the 2nd century BC, and from there into the Hindu zodiac.
It was at this time in history Atlantis was established on Earth during the Age of Virgo by the Annunaki/Sumerians who came to Earth and provided humans with knowledge from the 12 constellations of the zodiac. The Atlanteans and many other societies that came into play over 13,000 years ago knew of the astrological calendar and that has been made evident around the world through art and architecture.
Humanity is said to have reached a certain level of maturity, where we are on the verge of becoming multi-dimensional beings, due to our transition into the Aquarian Age. This change is occurring in alignment with astrological timing. By accessing information from the 12 constellations, we can gain insight into what is to come for Earth and its inhabitants. The impact of the Aquarian air sign can already be seen through the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected our airways and lungs, significantly altering the consciousness of the planet.
Astrology is one of the oldest and most accurate tools known to mankind."
