Etymology

The word 'astrological' derives from the Middle English word 'astrologial', which comes from the Latin 'astrologicus', and from the Greek 'astrologikos'. The Greek term is a combination of 'astro' meaning star and 'logos' meaning study or discourse, hence 'study of the stars'. The practice of astrology dates back to ancient times when people observed celestial phenomena and associated them with terrestrial events. Over centuries, astrology has evolved, reflecting cultural, scientific, and philosophical changes, leading to the modern practices seen today. The word reflects the deep historical connection between humanity and the cosmos, illustrating how ancient societies attempted to understand their world through celestial observations.
