This book is a comprehensive study of the evolution of astrology from its Babylonian origins to the mid-20th century. The author examines astrology as a complex religious and philosophical doctrine that has been in constant dialogue with the dominant concepts of the eras - from ancient philosophy and Christian theology to the science of the modern age. The material is presented with a rich historical context and vivid examples from the practices of astrologers throughout different periods. The work is particularly valuable for its balanced analysis, which includes arguments from supporters as well as critical viewpoints, including modern scientific approaches by Jung and Goklen. This book will be useful for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the development of esoteric traditions, and those seeking to understand the place of astrology in the intellectual culture of humanity.
