Can you tell me a bit about the history of astrologers?

Astrologers have been around for centuries. They use the positions of stars and planets to make predictions about people's future, based on their birth chart. The first known astrologer was the Greek philosopher Thales, who lived in the 6th century BC. He believed that the position of stars at the time of one's birth could influence one's fate. In ancient Rome, astrology became popular with the rise of Christianity. Many Christians saw it as a way to understand God's plan for them. During the Middle Ages, astrology was considered a form of divination, and was used by many people, including kings and queens. Today, astrology is still practiced by many people, but most often as an entertainment or hobby.
