Astrology has been around since a long time. However, over the years, there have been many changes in the perception of astrology. The beliefs of the people when astrology was first introduced were different from the beliefs our modern society today. However, irrespective of these changes, the core aim of astrology has always remained the same, to find the bigger and deeper meaning of life. In this article, we will discuss the course of astrology over the years and the aspects of it that have changed and those that have remained the same. In order to do this, we need to first understand primitive people and their belief in astrology.

It also finds its use in determining the right career choice and financial stability. They have deep knowledge in the concepts of astrology and will provide you efficient solutions to your problems.
ASTROLOGY AND ITS ORIGINS
Astrology originated in Babylon about 2,400 years ago. Later, it became popular among the Greek and Egyptian cultures and slowly migrating to the Asian countries. In early civilizations, people primarily used the position of the stars and the movement of the moon as a means to astrology. Horoscopes and zodiac signs developed later. Hence, let us now look at the beliefs of primitive people in astrology and how people practiced astrology back in the day.
PRIMITIVE USES OF ASTROLOGY
Primitive people mainly used astrology to better the process of agriculture. They used it to determine the occurrence of natural disasters. It slowly evolved into star signs and was used in testing the compatibility of potential couples for marriage. After a lot of progression over the years, astrology is now used to predict the future, predict the causes and solutions to the various problems of mankind. Some of the beliefs of primitive people in astrology are as follows:
Primitive people mainly relied on stars as the main core of astrology. Constellations are the stars arranged in specific patterns which form a recognizable figure named after a mythological creature. The people in the ancient civilizations related these patterns of stars to astrology and used them to predict the impact on human life. Today, these stars are linked to zodiac signs and their movement is said to influence the life of a person belonging to that zodiac sign. Your daily horoscopes also use star signs to predict the events in your day. Thus the usage of stars and constellations in astrology has been around a long time and is still continuing.
Primitive people first made calendars based on the movements of the sun and the moon. This has also found its part in the subject of astrology because these calendars also played a role in the progression of astrology. These calendars correctly determine the events of solar and lunar eclipses which play an important role in the prediction in astrology. Thus the primitive people played an important role in the development of astrology. Hence, it can be said that these calendars have been in use since the primitive ages and play a primary role in astrology.
ASTROLOGY AND ASTRONOMY
The Mesopotamian and Babylonian civilizations were among the first ones to use the movement of stars to predict events on earth. They were the first ones to introduce astrology to mankind. They analyzed the changing patterns of the celestial bodies and used these analyzations to predict the forthcoming events and later these took the form of zodiac signs. Today there is a line of difference between astrology and astronomy. However, in the Babylonian period this difference was very insignificant almost to the level that astrology and astronomy were one and the same. Hence, when talking about the beliefs of the primitive people in astrology, it is inevitable to mention their astronomical achievements.
Later, with the passage of time, this difference between astrology and astronomy started becoming clearer and the primitives started basing their astrological beliefs on the concept of omens. This became popular in the 18th century BC. They considered thunders, earthquakes, eclipses, clouds and halos as omens. This study of omens slowly spread in the Middle Eastern countries. Stars, signs and horoscopes started gaining more importance in the subject of astrology.
In India too, there are a lot of books and scriptures that show the beliefs of the primitives in the subject of astrology. The books like Brihatsamhita and the Bhadrabahu Samhita discuss in detail about the various elements of astrology. Soon astrology became a subject of wide interest among many.
All of this has led to the astrology that we have today. The daily horoscopes in the newspapers, the various zodiac signs, their divisions and what not. This has all come from primitive people and their belief in the concept of astrology.
