Initially, astrology was designed to calculate the time of harvesting and planting the crop, and only after a while predictions appeared for people.
According to ancient manuscripts, astrology was the science of stars and fire. The element of fire is reflected in many legends. So, there is an ancient Greek myth that the god Prometheus brought fire to the earth and gave to people, for which he was punished — chained to a rock and suffered daily torment until Hercules saved him.
