Hi every one, i'm a newbie!
I'm 65, and have interests in archaeoastronomy which covers the Roman period however to learn the myths and legents of the stars i attended astrology classes, however i don't believe in astrology. The ancients used to use astrology all the time.
There is a thing called electional astrology, that you choose the day to go to war etc, and wait for favourable stars at location, and a good astronomer can spot when this happens regarding the beliefs in ancient times.

I will show the interesting results in time, i'm disabled, using a wheel chair because of a broken spine, but i'm a happy soul having an active social life, and when i have time i write on forums!
Best wishes to all members.
