About
The History of Astrology and Politics
Astrology and politics have always been intertwined. Western astrology itself was originally developed in Mesopotamia by an elite class of literate scholars who served the kings directly, sending them reports and correspondences about their astrological observations. In the Roman Empire this tradition was carried on with individual astrologers serving a number of emperors such as Tiberius, Claudius, Nero and Vespasian, advising them on political matters. In the Medieval period there were court astrologers. Even in modern times astrologers have worked with leaders in the very highest echelons of power, for example such as Ronald Reagan’s employment of the astrologer Joan Quigley throughout the course of his political career.
The Purpose of the Political Astrology Blog
The purpose of the Political Astrology Blog is to carry on this long tradition of using astrology to study politics and word leaders. Our agenda is not partisan, but astrological. We seek to discover and point out the important astrological correlations that mirror events in the political world on a daily basis, thus helping to expand our understanding of how astrology and politics work, while at the same time showing the world how astrology can be used as a useful tool for political speculation.
Indeed, astrology itself might be characterized as the world’s greatest spectator sport, and part of our goal is simply to share some of our observations with you, the reader.
