"The ancients, who were struggling to understand the ways of the universe, thought that the moon and planets affected the way people on Earth behaved." Why would they think that? In my opinion, planets do not have dominion over how you think and act, but I can see pretty easily how the ancients could have determined astronomical calendars for themselves. I think stars are absolutely gorgeous, and I like to admire God's imagination with them. If you look and see the pictures from space that people have been able to take with telescopic lenses, and admire all the different colors, hues, formations, and (of course!) sparkle-y-ness, you can understand why. But can you imagine, in a world with no electricity, looking up into a deep solar-system, with layers upon layers of magnificent stars and hues and constellations? With no near-by city lights or pesky neighbors' houselights to obstruct your view? Without a doubt, you could look up and see so much clearer and farther than you ever could nowadays. Which brings us to the topic - Why would the ancients think the way you behaved would be affected by the planets and skies? My first thought on the subject was Zodiac signs. I can 100% see that if you were born under a planet, that would be your planet and that can be tied in with zodiacs and horoscopes. Maybe there is a science to it all, but I myself am not entirely sold on the idea. But I feel like if I had lived in that kind of time-era, I would probably believe a lot of it. My zodiac is a Gemini, which is associated with intellect and a go-with-the-flow personality. Perhaps that does sound like me. But as to say, I can't really put my finger down on the 'why' they would think that. These are just my thoughts.
