April 23, 2023
The social media hiatus is over. It was a much-needed time of withdrawal, a time under Saturn’s supervision. These weeks of introspection clarified a few things for me. Some of them are related to what I share with people through my work as a consulting astrologer and astrology teacher. A week ago, I posted my plans for the rest of 2023 here on my blog.
Right now, I feel a lot of excitement! New things are emerging. Also, I did my first Instagram livestream today!

I am very interested in the origins of astrology – please tell me where to start. Michael
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your comment! The oldest written documents about astrology are from the Old Babylonian period (2000-1600 BCE).
There are two books in English I recommend looking into. The first is ๐ ๐๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ด๐ค๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ช๐ค ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐บ: ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฃ๐บ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐จ๐ฆ by James Herschel Holden, American Federation of Astrologers, 2nd edition, 2006. The second book is called ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐บ: ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฆ by Chris Brennan, Amor Fati Publications, 2017.
I assume you also speak German. You might want to look into Rafael Gil Brandโs ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ช๐ฆ, Chiron Verlag, 2000. You can also check out the first article I published here on my blog in 2018, which is about the history of astrology: http://livingincycles.blog/2018/05/26/geschichte-der-astrologie/.
These few suggestions should help you get started. I hope you enjoy reading and learning.
Alles Gute! โจ
