Modern astrology is the remnant of ancient Greek legends and myths.
Unlike the primitive, backward Hebrew tribes who were repeatedly conquered by a series of superior invaders (Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans), the Greeks were the most advanced scientific civilization of their era.
And I dare say that the religion of the Greeks has survived far better than that of the Christians. I dare say there are far more “Christians” who read their daily horoscope than read a daily Bible verse.
The Greek religion (their Greek myths, legends and deities) were gods in the sky, but unlike the Judeo-Christian-Islamic sky god, were not invisible — sun, moon, planets and stars, with proven influences based on gravity, if not more esoteric aspects) and their religion evolved in two directions: the science of astronomy and the superstitions of astrology.
