Astrology was discovered and developed by groups of people rather than one person during ancient times.
Mesopotamians and Babylonians (2nd to 1st millennium BCE): The earliest organized systems of celestial divination arose in Mesopotamia. Babylonian priests mapped the 12-part zodiac wheel, tracked planetary movements, and created the first recorded horoscopes.
Berossus (c. 280 BCE): A Babylonian priest of Bel who traveled to the Greek island of Kos, where he officially introduced and taught Babylonian astrology and culture to the Hellenistic world.
Claudius Ptolemy (2nd century CE): An astronomer and astrologer in Alexandria, Egypt, who authored the Tetrabiblos. His work synthesized Greek philosophy with earlier traditions and laid the structural foundation for Western horoscopic astrology.
