Your Signs by Birth Month When It is African Astrology

We all know about our zodiac signs which come from Babylonian roots. But do we know how the study of the stars started? The first society to show an interest in studying the stars and other celestial bodies was an ancient African one. The study of astrology originates from this civilization and since they are the first ones to do it, their philosophy is considered the most accurate. It is based on the practice of fortune-telling by throwing a fistful of soil or some bones called geomancy. There are a total of twelve signs and all represent figures formed from this form of divination.

The element of this sign is water and their skin and bones are the most sensitive parts of their body.

With all the talk and the hype around the Babylonian zodiac signs as they have become the most popular in the modern world, we sometimes tend to forget the roots of a study. Predicting the nature of people based on the time at which they were born has been going on for centuries. I hope you found it fascinating to learn your astrological sign and its qualities in the context of African civilization.
