Ancient Greeks hated Aquarians because they didn't like the way they acted, thus they got the most negative press possible.

Would you be so kind as to provide a definitive citation proving this statement? Thank you.

Well I wasn't trying to prove anything. All I was on about was the question of why some signs got such a negative press in the past, I suggested that perhaps people's societies determine what Star Signs they like or dislike as it were. This again has an influence on what Astrologers write about them. Someone mentioned an Ancient Greek Astrologer dissing Aquarius. (I am Tauros not Aquarius, in case you think I'm defending my own Sign)

It seems reasonable enough as an explanation as to why the negativity or positivity of a signs portrayal changes over time. Afterall it's not what they are merely how they are percieved to be by Astrologers at the time. So depending upon how a sign relates to the society in which they live, it will get a primerily positive or negative reputation.

That was the original point and I am putting up an answer to it. No 'Evidence' to it, the original point mentioned the signs family difficulties, which suggests something about Ancient Greek society.

Yes, that would be the question who this 'someone' or the mentioned ancient Greek astrologer is. A certain name could be really helpful. Thanks again.

Actually he's 2nd Century and his name wasn't mentioned. I think Valens was the name of a second person with a similar name.
