Ancient versions of astrology have shown up in the history of many different cultures around the world. Some people have based their whole lives on the movement of the stars and how it would predict annual events happening, like sort of an ancient calendar. A good example of this is found in Time Magazine, in which it is written that, for Ancient Egyptians, "the rising of Sirius, the Dog Star, around mid-July, was seen as a marker of the imminent annual flooding of the Nile.” Other cultures, like the Babylonians and the Sumerians, had very similar ideas.

Even NASA has shown interest in astrology, and has described how their logic led to the zodiac signs we are familiar with today. In Time Magazine, NASA stated: “Imagine a straight line drawn from Earth through the Sun and out into space way beyond our solar system where the stars are. Then, picture Earth following its orbit around the Sun... The constellations in the zodiac are simply the constellations that this imaginary straight line points to in its year-long journey", so there are certain parts of astrology that aren't completely untrue. We have much better and reliable technology today, but it was still a new perspective for many historic cultures.

Zoe Nelson, a sophomore at Grants Pass High School, had some thoughts to add regarding astrology. They said: "I love it, because I feel like it's really cool and accurate to people's traits. I feel like it's really interesting to learn about." I believe that this is probably true for many other people as well. Even if it isn't scientifically backed up, it is still a really interesting topic to learn about.
