The BBC’s The Sky at Night is one of the longest continually broadcast programmes in history, and we are constantly dazzled by new images from the Hubble telescope, visions of space from Hollywood, and musings on what is ‘out there’ in modern literature.
This is the first comprehensive examination of astrology’s origins and examines the foundations of a major feature of popular culture in the contemporary west, one which has its origins in the ancient world. Campion explores the relationship between astrology and religion, magic and science, and explores its use in politics and the arts in a fascinating and readable fashion.
