The journey around the zodiac is the journey of incarnation into matter and onto the wheel of karma:
So, the Sun in Aries is working on assertion and on becoming centred around one’s Self – that eternal part of your being that incarnates again and again in its quest for spiritual growth. In the process, someone with the Sun in Aries often gets accused of being egocentric, selfish and self-absorbed. Rather than being self-centred, what Aries is trying to become ‘I’. This is the process of recognising and asserting the Self – a process that has to start with developing a strong ego and the sense of ‘Me’ that Aries expresses so well. When you have the Moon in Aries, you have already learnt how to be an individual who can assert him or herself and find ways of getting emotional needs met. Karmic issues associated with pioneering Aries are to do with aggression versus assertion, and with learning how to initiate and be spontaneous without trampling on too many people in the process. This sign carries the ‘knightly’ or chivalrous energy forward from the past. It is often associated with the warrior or the pioneer.

A famous court case involving Adams, who was arrested and charged with illegal fortune-telling in 1914 – was later dismissed when Adams correctly read the horoscope of the judge’s son with only a birthdate. Her acquittal set an American precedent that if astrologers practiced in a professional manner that they were not guilty of any wrong-doing.

History of Astrology

Babylonian astrology
The history of astrology can now be traced back to ancient Babylonia, and indeed to the earliest phases of Babylonian history, in the third millennium B.C.[1][2]
In Babylonia as well as in Assyria as a direct offshoot of Sumerian culture (or in general the Mesopotamian culture), astrology takes its place in the official cult as one of the two chief means at the disposal of the priests (who were called bare or “inspectors”) for ascertaining the will and intention of the gods, the other being through the inspection of the liver of the sacrificial animal.
The earliest extant Babylonian astrology text is the Enuma Anu Enlil (literally meaning “When the gods Anu and Enlil…”), dating back to 1600 B.C. This text describes various astronomical omens and their application to national and political affairs. For example, a segment of the text says: “If in Nisannu the sunrise appears sprinkled with blood, battles. Nisannu is the Babylonian month corresponding to March/April in the Western calendar.
