Astrology

Astrology explores the visual history of Western astrology, tracing humanity’s fascination with the stars from ancient civilizations to contemporary culture. It examines how the movements of celestial bodies and the symbolism of the zodiac have shaped religious beliefs, artistic expression and ideas about human destiny. More than 400 images bring together Egyptian temple art, illuminated manuscripts, historical charts and modern artworks.

The book follows astrology’s development from its ancient roots in Mesopotamia, through the Greek and Roman worlds and the Renaissance, to its influence on literature, psychology and modern spiritual movements. Featuring works by artists such as Alphonse Mucha and Hilma af Klint, alongside insights from contemporary astrologers, this richly illustrated volume offers a visual exploration of the enduring relationship between art, the cosmos and the human search for meaning.
