Archaic Astrology is a website dedicated to traditional Western astrology.
My name is Robert Bailey and I am a student of astrology.
At Archaic Astrology you can explore the history and practice of real medieval astrology.
To help me in my studies, I also make astrological elections for free!
Traditional Western astrology began in Egypt, during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and was practiced in Europe for over 2000 years. Modern astrology was invented during the 19th and 20th centuries and has no connection with the traditional system.
At Archaic Astrology you can learn about the history and theory of traditional astrology.
I also offer a free Electional astrology service!
- Electional astrology is the art of choosing auspicious (lucky) dates and times for important events and activities, like weddings, business launches and so forth.
- Astrology in the Roman Empire (NEW!) In this new installment in my History of Astrology series, we examine the Roman enthusiasm for astrology and discover just how popular the art was during this period of history.
- History page launched! (NEW!) I have been working on this feature of the site for over a year, and it will be rolling out over the next few months.
- Astrology and Cold Reading. Skeptics are quick to accuse so-called "psychics" of fraud - but can the same accusation be made against astrologers?
- Ask a Stupid Question... Horary can be used to answer any question, but there is a right way and a wrong way to ask.
