BABYLONIAN "MODERN" ASTROLOGY: 2800-500 BC
The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and
Saturn were all known to be planets which moved across
a band of the sky (the zodiac) with various influences
on life on Earth. Each planet was associated with its
own god. Mars, for example, being reddish in color,
was associated with war, while the morning "star"
Venus was seen as giving birth to the day and was
thus associated with femininity, fertility, and love.
