Sumerian Astrology
Discover the Language and Astrology of Ancient Sumer
Long before the emergence of Modern, Vedic, or Classical Astrology, the earliest foundations of the astrological tradition were taking shape in ancient Mesopotamia. The evidence preserved in Sumerian and Babylonian cuneiform texts reveals an unbroken development of celestial observation and divination, with Babylonian Astrology emerging from far older Sumerian traditions. Grounded in decades of research, Abbeygale Quinn reconstructs the earliest known system of astrology from the surviving evidence and applies it in contemporary practice. By interpreting planetary placements through the mythology, language, and celestial traditions of ancient Mesopotamia, she offers a unique approach rooted in astrology’s oldest recorded foundations.
Abbeygale Quinn is an independent Sumerologist, author, and professional astrologer with more than twenty-five years of experience. Her research specializes in the translation and interpretation of Sumerian cuneiform, with particular emphasis on the eighteen-constellation Sumerian Zodiac and the earliest astronomical and astrological traditions of the ancient Near East.
Through her books, courses, consultations, and published research, she has helped bring this long-overlooked tradition to a new generation of students and astrologers. In 2025, she co-founded the International Sidereal Astrology Association (ISAA), where she serves as Secretary, promoting rigorous scholarship, education, and professional standards in sidereal astrology.
