An important name in the history of astrology is Ptolemy, who had a profound and lasting influence on astrology.<\/p>\n
Ptolemy wrote the fundamental principles of astrology, such as the nature and movements of the planets, the relationships between the planets and the zodiac signs. He wrote his book Tetrabiblos in the 2nd<\/sup> century, which was one of the most influential works on the subject for centuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ptolemy’s ideas and methods were widely adopted and became the dominant form of astrology in the Western world, influencing the development of astrology in Europe and the Middle East. His work was later translated into Arabic and Latin, allowing it to reach a wider audience and continue to be influential for centuries. His style of astrology was more mathematical than modern day astrology, and used a different Zodiac system.<\/p>\n
