The story of the history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometry and rational thought. By the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the "Tetrabiblos", the main lines of astrological practice had already been laid down.
