    13 Great Illustrated Horoscopes From the Sixties Onwards

    Discover the mysteries of the zodiac and their power to inspire creativity with these original horoscope illustrations Mankind is on a permanent quest for meaning.

It is this need for understanding that contributed to the emergence of Western astrology. The Western zodiac, whose signs make up the horoscope we still use to this day, was created in around 1,000 B.C. (some say even earlier, in Mesopotamia). From there it spread to Egypt, where it was taken up by the Greeks, and then the Romans.
