Chapter 5: Astrology and History of Magic

Start from the beginning
                                    

When I reached my dorm room I grabbed my books, quills and ink and headed out to meet Y/n. She wasn't at the Staircase yet. Ravenclaw Common Room is a bit further than Hufflepuff Common Room. Just a few moments later she arrived and we both headed toward the Astronomy Tower. When we reached the highest level of the tower there were students in there but no professor. We found ourselves places to sit and imidiatly the Professor walked in.

"Good morning, Class. I'm Professor Sinistra. You are probably wondering what are you doing at the Astrology lesson while the sun is up and what is Astrology in general.

Astrology is the science of finding connection between those of us on the Earth and the Cosmos. It follows the patterns of movement by the planets and stars and assigns meanings to them that relate to human motivation and consciousness. Astrology is not as simple meaning like what you read in the horoscope section of the newspaper. A true astrological report takes into account not only the Sun sign or the things you get in the paper, but the placements of all the planets of our solar system and sometimes other celestial bodies as well in relation to your birth time. When all these meanings are compiled, it becomes a very complex and detailed description of a person's profile. Open your books please on page 3."

Everyone opened their books.

"Practice drawing the symbols. Take your time. For older individuals like me this may seem like a daunting task but stick with it. Once you have mastered the basic language of Astrology you are ready to place them on an astrology chart." Professor explained.
