Astrology is Born

Astrology is Born

Fiction
edward w pritchard

Ten thousand years ago a man had an argument with his partner. She shook her fist at him and he left their abode in anger to go sleep alone on a hillside on the cold hard ground.

That night while he slept, restlessly, he dreamed that the stars influenced human events. He awoke in the predawn very excited by his revelation and rushed to tell tribal elders his wonderful idea. On his way to find them, he encountered his partner and they continued their argument and discussion from the night before. In a short time he lost the wonder of the star idea and decided not to mention it to the elders because in the full light of day it seemed irrelevant. The idea did take root in his consciousness and his later comments , in passing to others, on the idea of the stars influencing human events was developed later and become a part of lore and myth.
