ABOUT ASTROLOGY

Astrology is the  ancient art of foretelling the future of human  beings from the positions of the stars and other heavenly bodies.  When in 1066 AD there great comet flared  across the sky, astrologers prophesied the death of a king and events that would change the history of the world. A few  months later Harold, the king of Saxon, England, was slain at the battle of Hastings and England came under the rule of the Norman's but it is now known that the particular comet known as the Haley's comet returns every 75 years.

Until about 200 years ago, almost every king had an official astrologer. The German ruler Adolph Hitler was said to have consulted an astrologer before he made any important decision.
