	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Astrology
		Astrology was, therefore the foster-sister of astronomy, the science of the investigation of the heavens.
		Astrology being regarded by the caliphs as the practical application of astronomy, all the more important Arabic and Jewish astronomers who were attached to that court, or who taught in the Moorish schools were also astrologers.
		Extraordinary examples of the glorification of astrology in Italy during the Renaissance are the frescoes painted by Miretto in the Sala della Ragione at Pavia, and the frescoes in Borso's summer palace at Florence.

	Astrology - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Astrology (from Greek: αστρολογία = άστρον, astron, "star" + λόγος, logos, "word") is any of several traditions or systems in which knowledge of the apparent positions of celestial bodies is held to be useful in understanding, interpreting and organizing knowledge about reality and human existence on earth.
		Astrology is not considered to be a science and is separate from astronomy, the scientific study of the heavens.
		Political astrology has existed for thousands of years as well, while some astrologers use ancient methods which are supposed to be able to predict the weather and weather-related phenomena (storms, floods, etc.), which is collectively known as meteorological astrology.

	Jewish views of astrology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sibylline oracles praise the Jewish nation because it "does not meditate on the prophecies of the fortune-tellers, magicians, and conjurers, nor practice Astrology, nor seek the oracles of the Chaldeans in the stars" (iii.
		Astrology was practised by some Jews throughout the Middle Ages, both as a professional art and as a science.
		For instance, Rabbi Barry Freundel views astrology as unacceptable, seeing it as unscientific, and thus unacceptable for Jews who live by Torah U-maddah, which is used as a motto by modern Orthodox Jews associated with the Rabbinical Council of America and the Union of Orthodox Congregations.

		Astrology refers to any of several systems, traditions or beliefs in which knowledge of the apparent positions of celestial bodies is held to be useful in understanding, interpreting, and organizing knowledge about human affairs and events on earth.
		The origins much of the astrology that would later develop in Asia, Europe and the Middle East are found among the ancient Babylonians and their system of celestial omens that began to be compiled around the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE.
		This Babylonian astrology came to Greece initially as early as the middle of the 4th century BCE, and then around the late 2nd or early 1st century BCE after the Alexandrian conquests, this Babylonian astrology was mixed with the Egyptian tradition of Decanic astrology to create Horoscopic astrology.

	Astrology: Between Religion and the Empirical
		The Babylonian star-cult is the core and the archetype of subsequent astrology.
		Astrology is thus thoroughly capable, by nature, of comfortably adapting its world view to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; for the creator god of these religions, who created the world, also created the heavenly bodies and their gods.
		When astrology views the cosmos as a living organism, this is thus a religious idea such as we know from, and respect as such in, nature religions.

		Astrology is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs in which knowledge of the relative positions of celestial bodies and related information is held to be useful in understanding, interpreting, and organizing knowledge about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial events.
		While astronomy is the scientific study of astronomical objects and phenomena, the practice of astrology is concerned with the correlation of heavenly bodies (which historically involved measurement of the celestial sphere) with earthly and human affairs.
		While the connection between celestial mechanics and terrestrial dynamics was explored first by Isaac Newton with his development of a universal theory of gravitation, claims that the gravitational effects of the celestial bodies are what accounts for astrological generalizations are not substantiated by the scientific community, nor are they advocated by most astrologers.

		The general view found in the Hebrew Bible is that the sun, moon, and stars were living creatures with definite roles to play in the universe, but who were always subordinate to YHWH, their Creator./21/ The emphasis is always on the Creator.
		Astrology came to the Jews as a Hellenistic practice, and there was as wide a range of attitudes towards it as towards any aspect of Hellenistic culture.

		(Incidentally the extreme contempt for astrology expressed by Rambam should be enough evidence to conclude that another letter in Stitskin's volume, ostensibly by Rambam to his son R. Avraham, is a forgery).
		While belief or disbelief in the reality of astrology might at first seem a matter of (eccentric?) taste it actually strikes at more fundamental religious and philosophical turf, and that is the doctrines of bechira chofshis and toras hagemul (free will and consequent reward and punishment).
		Indeed, reconciliation of traditional jewish perspective of goyish free will with belief in astrology is precisely the subject of a 10th century theoretical question posed to R. Hai Gaon by the benei Kabas.
