The astrology system incorporating fixed stars, rising signs, houses, and specific aspects like conjunctions and decans, has ancient roots. The key components of this system began to take shape in various cultures over millennia:
๐๐ถ๐
๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐: The use of fixed stars in astrology dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, around 3000 BCE. The Babylonians played a significant role in developing astrology, and they particularly focused on the fixed stars, which they used for divination and as omens.
๐ฅ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐: The concept of rising signs (ascendants) and astrological houses emerged in Hellenistic astrology, which developed in the Mediterranean region, particularly Egypt and Greece, around the 1st millennium BCE.
This period saw the fusion of Babylonian and Egyptian astrological traditions with Greek cosmological theories.
๐๐ผ๐ป๐ท๐๐ป๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐: The aspects, including conjunctions (like Sirius conjunct the Sun), are also a part of Hellenistic astrology.
They were further refined by later astrologers. The idea was to interpret the relationships between different celestial bodies based on their positions and angles relative to each other.
๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐๐ฏ-๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐: Decans, which divide each astrological sign into three parts, each ruled by a different sign, have their origins in ancient Egyptian astrology.
In Egyptian astrology, each decan was associated with different stars and constellations, as well as specific deities and spiritual beings.
These associations were believed to influence the characteristics of those born under each decan.
The concept was later adopted and adapted by Hellenistic astrologers.
