From Ptolemaic times. Did the "western" system and symbolism of astrology arrive in Egypt with the Greek colonizers?
"Looking to the stars for constellations that preside over birth and life has a long and complex history, and archaeologists have just uncovered a small piece of it.
A spectacular series of relief paintings on the ceiling of an ancient Egyptian temple depict 12 signs of the zodiac, and you might be surprised to recognize some of them."

Those relief paintings on the temple ceiling must be a sight to behold, blending Greek and Egyptian symbolism. A while back, I attended a local astrology workshop where we explored zodiac signs and their meanings. It was wild to see how ancient cultures intertwined their beliefs with the stars.
Someone shared how their sign influenced their life decisions, and it got me thinking about my own experiences. I started studying tarot as a fun way to connect with my intuition, and that site https://tarot-arcana.com/ has been super helpful for grasping the basics. It's incredible how these old practices still resonate today. The blend of history and personal insight keeps me curious.

Yes, Charlie Knox, all the ceilings and walls of so many of the Temples must be a sight to behold. The Egyptian understanding of the interdimensonality of the several aspects of the soul is fascinating
The tarot is interesting, so is the crystal ball, and the oracles . . . . if I'm not mistaken all originally part of what today we consider to be shamanistic religions.
Some religions tend to curse anything outside of their purview as evil. I figure when one's heart and head is right with God, and the connection is strong, and the intent is pure, then the synchronicity of daily living and how we find meaning to connect in everyday life with the sacred, is found in the world around us when we are observant.
Some of the shamanistic practices have stayed with us through the millennia, as part of religions. and absent the religion with which they were associated.
The I-Ching is interesting too - associated with the Dao/Tao. So many of the well known philosophies that originated in China started out as shamanistic religions. The wisdom that was part of them has stood the test of time.
I often wonder if the religions of today, in "the West" will ever reach a point where their distilled wisdom is universal guidance, so that they are never used as an excuse to perpetrate the weaknesses of human nature or to harm others.
