Imagine you're a kid who loves looking at the sky. Ancient people did too! They noticed patterns in the stars and used them like a magic calendar to know when seasons would change or if there might be a big storm coming. Some even thought the stars could tell them about what was going to happen, like if a king was going to die or if a new baby would be born soon.
Examples
- A farmer watched the stars and knew it was time to plant seeds.
- A king dreamed of falling into a river, he thought it meant his kingdom would be taken over by enemies.
- A girl saw an owl fly over her house and believed it meant she'd become rich one day.
