For thousands of years, man has turned to the stars for advice and knowledge. Astrology dates back to 2000 BC and has been carefully studied by the ancient Indians, Mayans, Greeks, Chinese, and Arabs independently of each other. Not only that, but astrology has been used as a means of studying human personality and motivation, as in the work of psychiatrist Carl Jung.
As above, so below. As within, so without.
~ Hermes Trismegistus, Circa 3000 BC
Through observation and analysis, it was discovered that there were correlations between the movement of celestial bodies and life here on earth. Over time, twelve distinct types of astrological personalities have evolved.
