概要

 Journey back to ancient Babylon in this episode of Astrology Through the Ages, where we explore the sophisticated astronomical observations that laid the foundation for modern astrology. Host Clara Moss examines how Babylonian priest-astronomers around 600 BCE developed systematic methods for tracking celestial movements, creating detailed astronomical diaries that influenced human understanding of the cosmos for millennia. Discover how these ancient scholars developed the twelve-sign zodiac system, mathematical models for predicting eclipses, and the famous Saros cycle still used by astronomers today. Learn about the cultural and religious significance of their work, which viewed celestial events as divine communications affecting harvests, politics, and society. This episode reveals how Babylonian astronomical achievements, including calculations of the year's length accurate to within minutes of modern measurements, created the technical and philosophical foundations that would later influence Greek scholars like Ptolemy. Perfect for history enthusiasts, astronomy lovers, and anyone curious about the ancient origins of astrological traditions. Clara presents these historical developments as fascinating cultural achievements while maintaining scholarly perspective on their scientific and social context.
