Astrology is defined as the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. In this book, Woolfolk traces astrology back to ancient Babylonia around 3000 BC. She explains how it spread to Egypt and Greece, where philosophers like Ptolemy formalized the field with Tetrabiblos, establishing the basics of Western astrology. Woolfolk emphasizes that modern astrology evolved from these ancient roots and remains significant today because it offers a language to understand the self and others better.
