This work traces the journey of astrology from its roots in the 3rd century BCE, when ancient Mesopotamians studied celestial bodies with the aim of predicting the future, through its development into the distinct branches of Eastern astrology, Hindu (Vedic) astrology, and the Western astrology that we know today. Learn about the numerous techniques that have been devised over the centuries to predict the future - from the use of yarrow stalks of the I Ching over 2500 years ago to methods still practised today. Discover the stories of influential seers, from the oracles of Ancient Greece to the 16th-century Frenchphilosopher Nostradamus, who is said to have predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and explore how our fear ofastrology, divination, prediction, and prophecy have been depicted in art and literature.

A history of astrology, divination and prophecy.
