A strology dates back to the beginning of recorded history. We have animal bones containing notches which may be lunar counters dating back to 30,000 BC and we see evidence of the ritual or sacred importance of the sky in what appear to be illustrations of the stars in the famous caves of Lascaux in southern France around 14,000 BC. No doubt our earliest ancestors found the sight of a full moon, a brilliant dawn or a dark, starry sky as awe-inspiring as we do, and we do not know exactly what use they made of such sights in their religion or their daily lives. |
