When and how did they first start attributing psychological energies to the planets? How exactly did they do this? How could they determine such things? It is pretty mind boggling if you think about it. We have books, tools, software to learn it, but how did they first assign what energies apply to which planets, long ago? IP: Logged |

Ptolemy was the first to name/ interpret the sign of the zodiac, starting with Cancer and Leo and from these their opposites Capricorn and Aquarius. Cancer and Leo represent the female and male opposite pairs of the zodiac. So in this sense Cancer and Leo are the first signs of the zodiac. Robert Hand's Horoscope symbols further explains Ptolemy's process of naming the zodiac. Since this is a really condensed version of the whole process. IP: Logged |

Ancient Indian Vedics and Ancient Chaldeans/Babylonians are the documented originators.True Origins are psychically determined as Atlantean but no physical evidence yet. IP: Logged |
