Horoscope astrology is a very specific and complex system that was developed in the Mediterranean region and specifically Hellenistic Egypt around the late 2nd or early 1st century. Central to horoscopic astrology and its branches is the calculation of the horoscope or astrological chart. Traditions of horoscopic astrology can be divided into four branches which are directed towards specific subjects or purposes.
