Zodiac astrology is based on Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos. Ptolemy used the concept of fire and water. His planets are divided into categories. Dry, wet, hot, cold. Ptolemy also wrote that everything revolves around the Earth. The concept of states is reminiscent of Wu Xing. But what I consider zodiac astrology is not the original concept of Ptolemy. Karma - Ptolemy has nothing like that. Black Moon and a lot of other things were added for no apparent reason or where.

Undoubtedly. That's why I'm writing here. Having studied the primary sources, astrology is the same. Everywhere there is a pantheon of Gods. Everywhere there are procedures for worshiping the Gods. Everywhere there is fate - like the will of the Gods. In BaZi, the Gods are the trunks of heaven, in zodiac astrology - planets and stars. Therefore, I am very surprised how easily in zodiac astrology many other Gods are added to the pantheon of Gods. And the whole concept collapses.
This is comparable to a person whose dwelling was among the mountains, and he (she)knew no townsfolk. He used to sow wheat and ate the wheat grains as they are. One day heentered the town. They offered him good bread.Said that person, “What is this for?” They said, “It is bread to eat.” He ate and it wassingularly pleasant to his taste. He said, “And of what is this made?” They said, “Of wheatgrains.” Then they offered him cakes kneaded in oil. He tasted of them. He said, “And these, ofwhat are they made?”They said, “Of wheat grains.” Then they offered him pastry prepared for royalty, kneadedwith honey and oil. He tasted them and said, “And these, of what are they made?” They said,“Of wheat grains.” He said, “Surely I am the master of all of these, for I eat the essence of all ofthese, which is wheat.”And because of this disposition he knew as NOT (al) the delicacies of the world, and theywere lost to him. It is likewise for him who seizes the general principle of wisdom4 , and knowsas NOT (al) all the pleasing delicacies that derive from the general principle.”
