History as an Interplay of The Three Zodiacs of Babylonian Astrology. The Present Age.
Babylonian Astrology is very different from everything which will follow. Ancient Astrology was not born in Greece. Ancient Astrology died in Greece! Babylonian Astrology is Observational, empyrical and 3 Dimentional. Babylonian Astrology was born together with the birth of the First Human. However I can see clearly the development of Babylonian Astrology up to the limit of 5500 BC. 5500 BC is my dating of the Babylonian Astrolabe.
Basic notions: Heliacal Phases of Stars and Planets, Calendar, Omina
