Mapping the Cultural History of the Stars

Exploring the multifaceted relationship between humanity and the cosmos. SkyMapJournal provides a neutral, educational foundation for understanding the historical development, complex symbology, and mechanical cycles of global astrological traditions.

A Scholarly Approach

Astrology is more than just a contemporary trend; it is a profound cultural artifact. For millennia, civilizations have projected their myths, mathematics, and philosophies onto the celestial sphere. Our mission is to document this journey through an academic lens, focusing on historical context rather than personal prediction.
