<< It is well established that the practice of casting horoscopes had its roots in Mesopotamia, and to be more precise – in Babylonia, at the end
of 5th BC. At present, about thirty Babylonian horoscopes (Rochberg 1998) are known to us, and they were found in the cities of Babylon and
Uruk, except for an unusual example found in Nippur. Babylonian astrology is a sophisticated science. It is the result of centuries of celestial
divination and complex mathematical calculations that made it possible to predict the movements of celestial bodies. Horoscopes are also not the
only type of astrological text that the Babylonians produced, but they are the closest link to modern astrology. Were horoscopes made in the
same way back then as they are made today? What has changed? >>
