HISTORIA DE LA ASTROLOGIA

When did humans begin to look up at the sky and find answers in the stars? From caves to ancient temples to Renaissance observatories, astrology has woven an invisible thread through the tapestry of civilization. With the help of journalist Cristina Enríquez, we will discover the origin of this link with the stars and why our ancestors began to erect monuments and create traditions guided by the stars and their gods. Through these pages, we will encounter characters such as Emperor Augustus, who skillfully used astrology to his advantage to legitimize his political ambitions, Catherine de Medici, who summoned the enigmatic astrologer and fortune teller Nostradamus to her court to use his readings and prophecies, and even, in the midst of World War II, Churchill and Hitler, who are said to have consulted the stars before making important decisions. But the stars are not only there to guide us and show us the future; their influence affects us directly from the moment we are born. In this work, we also discover all that astrology can reveal about the nuances of human character through the twelve signs of the zodiac and the distinctive characteristics of each one. Because let's not kid ourselves, despite living in an age of progress and technology, aren't we all hopelessly attracted to the stars?
