Etymology

The word 'astrologer' originates from the Old French 'astrologe' and Latin 'astrologus', which came from the Greek 'astrologos', a combination of 'astron' meaning 'star' and 'logos' meaning 'word' or 'reason'. This term has been used since the 14th century to refer to someone skilled in the interpretation of celestial movements and their supposed influence on human affairs. Ancient civilizations, including the Babylonians and Greeks, had astrologers who played significant roles in society by advising rulers and predicting events. Over centuries, astrology has evolved, intertwining with various cultures and beliefs, but the core concept of interpreting the stars has remained a constant aspect of its history.
