Vedic origins of Hindu Astrology:

Modern historical research into the whole question of ‘the origins of human civilization’ has shown that the Vedic Sages were the real progenitors, not only of astrology, but equally well also of the kindred discipline of astronomy. What we call Hindu astrology today, properly speaking, goes back to Vedic times – dating back to at least some five to nine thousand years [ 2, 3, 4, 6].
