"text": "Older Babylonian astrology, which flourished in Kassite and Assyrian times (1400-700 B.C.) had a quite different character: it aimed at short-range predictions of general public events, such as wars and harvests, from striking phenomena such as eclipses, clouds, annual rising and setting of planets, whereas the Hellenistic \"Chaldaeans\" predicted individual fates from positions of planets and zodiacal signs at the date of birth or conception. [...] So the individual character of horoscopic astrology should not be stressed too much. The essential new feature is, that positions of planets and zodiacal signs are used for long-range predictions. Now these positions are by no means striking events: planets may be invisible, and signs are never visible. The data needed for a horoscope had, in most cases, to be calculated from tables. We ignore how, when and why this transformation took place. But it could only take place in Babylonia, where tables were available for calculating positions of planets at remote dates. Not without reason astrologers were called \"Chaldaeans\" throughout the Roman Empire!",

"text": "Older Babylonian astrology, which flourished in Kassite and Assyrian times (1400-700 B.C.) had a quite different character: it aimed at short-range predictions of general public events, such as wars and harvests, from striking phenomena such as eclipses, clouds, annual rising and setting of planets, whereas the Hellenistic \"Chaldaeans\" predicted individual fates from positions of planets and zodiacal signs at the date of birth or conception. [...] So the individual character of horoscopic astrology should not be stressed too much. The essential new feature is, that positions of planets and zodiacal signs are used for long-range predictions. Now these positions are by no means striking events: planets may be invisible, and signs are never visible. The data needed for a horoscope had, in most cases, to be calculated from tables. We ignore how, when and why this transformation took place. But it could only take place in Babylonia, where tables were available for calculating positions of planets at remote dates. Not without reason astrologers were called \"Chaldaeans\" throughout the Roman Empire!",
