Please go thru given VIVEKANANDA quote from above link:
""astrology is one of the superstitions which has hurt the Hindus very much.

I think the Greeks first took astrology to India and took from the Hindus the science of astronomy and carried it back with them from Europe. Because in India you will find old altars made according to a certain geometrical plan, and certain things had to be done when the stars were in certain positions, therefore I think the Greeks gave the Hindus astrology, and the Hindus gave them astronomy.""
**************************************…

Actually astrology culture belonged to Greeks and spread in India & hinduism by Saka Magas in the guise of caste brahminism.
This is tradition of Saka maga. This tradition was spread through Saka Magas !!

What will U say after knowing this ???

Why caste brahmins(Saka Maga/greeks) suppressed the fact from indians that the culture of astrology is not Indian thing??
why did they give this opium to masses of india ?

actually, it was the tool used to befool and influence influence Indian masses.
Still in use !!!!!! ????

Not sure where you got this concept from about Jyotish coming from the Greeks. It is a Vedanga. "Veda" + "Anga" meaning a part of a limb of Veda. Specifically it is "Eye" of the Veda and the reason for that is that is helps us navigate the time dimension just our two eyes help us navigate the space dimension.

After many questions you seem to make a sense. Horoscopic astrology first appeared in the Mediterranean region, likely Hellenistic Egypt, sometime around the late 2nd or early 1st century BCE.And Indian astrology is greatly influenced by it.Only difference is that our calculations are based on the position of Moon and there based on the position of Sun



.History of the world goes like this intra-mixture of cultures makes ways into civilizations .Whats wrong with this ?



By introducing Greeks were made bad to you , but those who has looted our wealth, raped our woman, done genocide on our population,destroyed our major and minor temples, imposed Jizya tax (which as per Koran be imposed in Non-Muslims or 2nd class citizens) are OK to you ?Doesn,t they destroyed our heritage and culture?



But by the way Greeks are not Sakas :)
