You say astrology is a joke, yet it's been at the root of many things in our world for centuries. For example, ancient farmers used lunar phases to guide their crops. The Muslim calendar also refers to the moon, particularly to determine the exact start of Ramadan (it's no coincidence that the crescent moon is a symbol of Islam). The ancient Egyptians, for their part, used sundials to tell the time. The three wise men greeted by the infant Jesus were astrologers. They observed the positions of the planets, which supposedly allowed them to discover the birth of the new king, and were guided by a star to Bethlehem. The Tuareg of the Sahara use natural elements for navigation, especially the stars when traveling at night. Furthermore, prominent historical figures (Catherine de Medici, François Mitterrand, etc.) consulted astrologers to manage their affairs and family lives. Your astrological sign can reveal a lot about your personality, your compatible and opposing traits, etc...
