How Old is Western Astrology?

In this video I answer the question: how old is western astrology?

The written origins of western astrology date back about 4,000 years, originated in Mesopotamia around 2,000 BCE, where astrological omens were recorded on clay tablets.

The form of astrology that we use today, with birth charts, signs, and houses, came together around 2,000 years ago in Hellenistic Egypt, sometime around the 2nd century BCE.

So western astrology is about 4000 to 2000 years old, depending on how you define it.
