Astrology in Ancient civilizations and relevance of moon

The study of the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Eclipses, began well before recorded history. The Ancient civilizations substantiated the discovery of reindeer bones and tusks of mammoths from the Ice Age with notches carved on them picturing the Phases of the Moon gives us proof that man was studying the sky during 25,000 and 10,000 B.C. The path of the stars was recorded 6,000 years before Christ was born. From the evidence of Greek and Roman Civilizations it is obvious that they used celestial calendars to know the movement of the heavenly bodies. The created great stone monuments called Astronomical observatories and an eclipse often represented the Eye of God, All Seeing Eye! Prehistoric observations of solar eclipses from many different cultures and civilizations date back to at least 2500 B.C gives ample evidence about the accurate luni-solar calendar based on the regular observation of the moon. Lunar eclipses were the first major celestial events that astrologers learned how to predict based on local historical observation records to ensure a coherent society to follow accurate calendar to organize planting and harvesting of crops. Ancient Indian Astrologers also charted the movement of planets and stars and made prediction about eclipses, upheavals, famine and fortune by developing calendars for marking and measuring the passage of time. We can still read star charts that were made by Egyptian Astrologers in 4200 B.C. It is perfectly logical to assume the astrologers were the first wise men in even the most primitive of civilizations. The sole purpose of this research is to emphasis the role of the Moon in the past and present highlighting the fundamental principles described by the ancient stalwarts. Several Astrological predictions about the natural calamities are bypassed by the modern world and embraced natural calamities and loss which could not compensate. Modern research activities continue to know the Natural Secrecies of Vedic Rituals and Moon. The ancient works of Astrology has offered valued information about the change of mind and deeds as per the movement of Moon and ultimately given divinity of God experiensable science and not an experimental science. Though Man has stepped on the surface of the moon and trying to have a substitute for earth, even to-day, the developing nations like India and the westerns conducts series of research work in terms of quest for knowledge about the Moon. The known factor about the Moon is very little but the quantum of the unknown is still unknown to the human mankind. This project substantiates the contributions of ancient civilizations, as a light house towards the journey towards the Modern Research and the present discoveries are only an extension of the primeval puranic knowledge.

Ever since, Astrology was designated as the supreme source of light upon the border of darkness, considering the mother of eternal sciences. History of civilizations had documented that Astrology was broadly used for forecast connected with the human life on the earth based on the movement of astral bodies. Many of the exposures occurring in the fields of physics, biology, cosmology and in the field of consciousness researches made are more profoundly congruent with basic astrological assumptions than Astronomy. Astrology is as old as Vedic civilization under which man was careful about the auspicious time before commencing the Vedic rituals and subsequent results thereof. Since mankind first inhabited on the earth, they observed the Sun, Moon and Stars and noted the recurring natural phenomena to correlate the changes of solar and lunar movements. The vicinity of objects depends upon day and night and reflection of light emitted from the planets especially from the Sun and Moon. The assumption was planetary system balance the whole zodiac and Astrophysical power of the lunar bodies remain omnipotent for the very existence of the universe. The conscious people applied their mind during leisure time beneath the shiningand Moon forced them for innovations. The curiosity hounded their minds embraced series of hypothesis on several aspects touched the horizon of their wisdom lead towards variety of discoveries and ultimately reached a world of modernity with unique comforts. The Stalwart Saints recorded their true feelings and experience from the moving planetary systemeternal Astro-sceince typically named as “Astrology”. Contemporary Research is on the verge of generalizing the fundamental knowledge germinated during ancient civilizations by means of application in the modern life.
