Today once popularly beloved "science" of astrology has moved to the last pages of Newspapers and in the email you are reading out of boredom. For us, the zodiac signs represent hardly more than a great idea for a tattoo, but it is for people who take astrology seriously? Throughout human history astrology has been used not only for divination.1. Breeding animals

Breeding of cattle is often a matter of life and death for entire families, so farmers try everything to be sure that the animals produce the greatest number of the best offspring. Often this means drawing up star charts for animals, assuming that animals born under different signs will have different features. You are breeding for beauty? The animal must be born under the sign of Libra. But if you want to increase the number of livestock — Scorpio and Pisces or Cancer. The pregnancy of animals has long been determined, so only need to count back from the deadline day to be born baby and present the parents-to each other.
In England of the XVII-th century not all breeders have relied on the stars, but there were those who seriously believed that the binding cycles of their animals to the stars is crucial to obtain the best offspring. But even those who have not relied on astrology when breeding, do not hesitate, accused of a failed brood or diseases of the cattle, the stars, witchcraft or other dubious from a scientific point of view of practice. If you don't want to rely on chance, there are astrological recommendations about the best time for castration, mating and weaning of newborn Pets.
2. In The Bible

Attempts to discover the future in the stars lasted a long time, and the authors of the Bible did not approve of it. The use of astrology was an insult to God — she was trying to find the answers somewhere in other place, and it is not considered a good Christian thing.
In the Bible there are many places where astrology is used to reinforce the idea that God is the only true source of knowledge and guidance. In the second Chapter of the book of Daniel Nebuchadnezzar is suffering from bad dreams. Wanting to know the meaning of these dreams, he summons all the magicians from their lands, including astrologers. When they are unable to explain what had bad dreams, he condemned all the wise men of the Kingdom to death. Daniel in turn received the word and asked God for guidance. Of course, this is what should have been done: Daniel received the answers he needed to save himself and his friends, giving to understand that astrology and other forms of magic is not the way to find out what's going on with you and what awaits you.
There are also many references — including 19 Psalm — in which the stars are a testimony to the glory of God, and not as a means of predicting the future. According to Jeremiah 10:2, astrology is the science of the pagans, and the Christian should not worry that there are astrologers trying to say. Finally, in the Fourth book of kings 21:6 clearly States that people are messing with astrology, are in a world of evil and the wrath of God.
3. In agriculture

The success of any crop largely depends on the season and the right time of planting is very important that each new grain had plenty of time on the growth and maturation of the fetus before there will be cold. Astrology could even predict the farmer, whether the season is hot and dry or how much precipitation will fall.
And Hesiod, and Virgil emphasize the importance of reading the stars and the light phase of the moon during planting. Sowing seeds and grafting trees is best done at the beginning of the waxing moon, while the seeds planted in the waning moon will not grow. Trees planted during the waning moon is believed to be rooted for this phase of the moon and bloom to the growing moon. Pliny wrote about the importance of the waxing moon in General, while Hesiod was more specific — the best result is achieved if you plant trees on the ninth and 13th day of the lunar cycle. It is best to plant barley and other grains in galaxies, at least, so says Virgil.
Some of these tips are still. According to Biodynamically Association of India, the success of farming relies on understanding the rhythmic movement of the moon and the effect it has on seeds and plants. A theory based on the idea that the Moon has a major impact on the earth's water, and since water is crucial in the growth and development of plants, it makes sense that the moon phases play an important role in the successful landing.
According to the organization, there are many such cases: for example, rainfall is likely to go during a full moon, and the same full moon promotes the uptake by plants of water and nutrients. Even in the "farmers Almanac" is an astrological guide, telling the farmers what day what crops it is best to plant and which days are better left to the cleaning of weeds and building fences.
4. Meteorology

Now astrologers and astronomers are at opposite ends of the scientific spectrum, but it was not always so. In the late sixteenth century Tycho Brahe wrote that astrological patterns observed in the last 12 days of December, can be used for accurate prediction of weather in every month of the coming year. He kept a journal of observations, in the hope to prove the theory, but we can only guess how he was confident in them if I published a magazine in the form of tutorial under the name of one of its students.

Johannes Kepler was also a great proponent of using astrology to predict the weather and do this all the time with stunning success. He attributed incredibly accurate weather calendars based on his observations of the stars, and the prediction of the dates when breaks out the storm. And Kepler, and Brahe were supporters of astrology, like meteorology, but they have one big difference — Brahe thought that the Earth is not rotating.
The motion of the planets is the key to astrological forecasts, and the planet is moving or not, really matters. Even in the Victorian era idea that weather can be predicted by the stars, had great support, and even respected scientists have used the term "prophecy of the weather."
5. Propaganda during World war II
Louis de Wohl
Hungarian citizen of German origin Louis de Wohl was the self-styled "Modern Nostradamus" and, judging by the descriptions, suffering from delusions of grandeur, longed for the spotlight. In addition, he was an astrologer of the British elite, including the Romanian Ambassador Viorel Virgil, Tilea. In the end, Tilea returned home, but his interest in astrology has not disappeared. Soon he consulted with a man who (incorrectly) believed a consultant to Hitler himself, foretelling the future of the Third Reich.
De WOL has made a horoscope of Hitler (he would lose the war) and began to cooperate with British intelligence, intrigued by his potential contacts. If that wasn't enough, de WOL took the liberty to call their operation a single "Psychological research Bureau", regularly interpreting the horoscope of Hitler, while maintaining public relations and spying on their well-endowed customers.
By 1941, the British decided to try their hand at a little propaganda: they sent de Will on a trip with performances in the US, indicating that he must spread the information that the stars are not favourable to Hitler in the war. Before that they conducted a fake inauguration ceremony to appease de Will, which is required to make it an army captain before he will go to some kind of tour. And he went to the United States where he delivered speeches and answered questions, hoping to persuade the country to join in the war. The Japanese attack on pearl Harbor occurred just at the time when he performed his duties in the United States. He returned to the UK and realized that forgot about it — this was evident when he appeared in his office in Grosvenor house and found no one from the special operations, but also any information where they went.

While most of us consider career opportunities depending on proximity to the family or the severity of the local winters, the other when selecting a new residence, turn to astrology. According to modern supporters of astrocartography, it is also known as the geographic astrology, and was used in the times of the biblical events, when the Magi were looking for a place Holy birth. This technique has become more common when computers did build points and locations much easier.
The marking complex patterns of stellar maps using exact date of birth, should, in theory, tell you what awaits you in a particular place and it is perfect for those who want to move and trust the stars more than their own judgment. According to the lawyer, Jim Lewis, how accurate are these maps perfectly clear on the charts of US presidents, especially those whose diagrams show the intersection of religion and war in the middle East.
7. Figuring out what we become

Evolutionary astrology is another recent addition to the astrological world. It seeks to rectify one of the biggest problems that most of us see in astrology, namely to answer the question of why people born in the same day, at the same time under the same stars have different life, luck and personality. It does this taking into account of the human soul.
As stated in evolutionary sociology, each soul exists in one particular state of evolution, from dim souls who just took human form (before the former plants and animals) to a spiritual state, which only has a connection with a "full" life. When the energy of the individual exists outside of the human form, it is called soul, and when it takes human form — it is called ego. Because each soul can reincarnate again and again, the journey of the soul and the ego can be described by evolutionary astrology.
All this theory and travel schedule of the deceased in 1977, the year had Jeffrey wolf green who said that he could help others understand what the point of reincarnation they are. Unlike traditional astrology evolutionary astrology is interpreted not through the conventional zodiac, and with the phases of Pluto in connection with the North and South nodes of the moon.
8. Determination of loyalty of a potential spouse

In 1647, the year the astrologer William Lilly wrote in "Christian astrology", which was later re-released in 1852, the year as an "Introduction to astrology". The book was a complete collection of descriptions of all the astrological houses and how you can use them to define situations. According to Lilly, the Seventh house governs the questions that man asks himself about love and theft, fights, enemies, and strangers... You probably already understand what this is about. The book outlines how one can not only determine whether he gets married or something interferes with his happiness, but — strangely — deceive his mate.
It describes a method that allows the questioner to find out if his lady love in love with another man if she has a former lover, with whom she still communicates (or is it left to spare), if she prefers women to men and whether it is virtuous or profligate. A few minor changes and you will be able to find answers to the same questions for women looking for a husband. The stars can also tell you whether or not the child is your wife, your return home, you threw your wife. We do not know how many relationships ruined this book.
9. Hiring

In many places around the world, employers can't discriminate against potential employees because of their sex, age and marital status. Strange, but one of the things the principle which they can weed out some disliked people, it is a sign of the zodiac.
It all started in 2009-m year, when the Austrian company filed a notice indicating that candidates had to be born only under the signs of Leo, Aries, Aquarius, Taurus or Capricorn. As stated by the company, research showed them that the best workers of the country were born under these signs, so it was the easiest way to weed out weak candidates. And even more strange that the Austrian government has supported the company when the case went to trial, acknowledging that they had every right to reduce the number of candidates, based on the sign of the zodiac. And while the Austrian company has made it clear which characters they like, in 2011 year, one Chinese company pointed out who don't need them — Scorpios and Virgo. The company stated that, in their experience, employees who were born under these signs, did not work well in a team or not doing their duties, so employers have taken preventive measures to avoid future problems with people born under these signs. But progress on the Chinese company didn't stop and declared that preference in hiring will be given to Capricorns, Pisces and Libra.
10. Medicine

Until relatively recently, the human body remained a mystery for doctors, and ordinary people, so for centuries, disease and astrology went hand in hand. It was believed that each zodiac sign influences a specific part of the body: for example, Pisces governs the feet, Aries — head, and Scorpio — sexual organs. Medieval barbers-surgeons can treat patients with complaints of chronic abdominal pain with or bloodletting, but the stomach was ruled by Virgo, and if the Moon was in Virgo it was a bad omen for any operations.
Some illnesses and diseases have also been associated with certain signs — so the Twins are associated with accidents, problems of the arms and shoulders and nervous disorders. Virgo is associated with worms and disorders of the intestine, and Capricorn with leprosy and skin diseases. The doctors probably thought it a good idea to treat people with the mapping of the sky at a time when people got sick, who could tell what a person is suffering, and how to treat it.
In addition, they considered the astrological influence of the herbs, plants and other facilities, and treatment often depended on what was advised by the stars. The disease is also given at the mercy of astrological cycles, as it was believed that the position of the stars dictates the time of appearance and disappearance of symptoms and the possibility of recovery of the patient.
