The movement of celestial bodies and their relationship to our lives has been the primary focus of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has inspired awe and devotion, and has allowed us to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhile modern horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage stretches back to the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks. As author Andrea Richards recounts in \u003cem\u003e*Astrology*\u003c\/em\u003e , the second volume in TASCHEN's \u003cem\u003eEsoteric Library\u003c\/em\u003e series, astronomy and astrology were sister sciences: the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed to align with the constellations, Persian experts oversaw some of the earliest observatories, and even Galileo cast horoscopes for the Medici. But with the Enlightenment and the birth of the exact sciences, the practice moved into realms where mystery was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and influencing artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake. Later movements like Theosophy and the \u003cem\u003eNew Age\u003c\/em\u003e brought it into mainstream culture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEdited by Jessica Hundley, this fascinating visual history of Western astrology is the first compendium of its kind. It explores symbolic meaning through hundreds of images from around the world, from Egyptian temples and illuminated manuscripts to contemporary art. Works by artists ranging from Alphonse Mucha and Hilma af Klint to Manzel Bowman are sequenced to reflect the movement of the planets and the wheel of the zodiac. \u003cem\u003eAstrology\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates the stars and their mysterious influence on our daily lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-information__book-details\"\u003eHardcover, \u003cspan data-testid=\"book-details--dimensions\"\u003e14 x 19.5 cm,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-testid=\"book-details--weight\"\u003e0.41 kg,\u003c\/span\u003e 192 pages\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--book-edition\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56770045542748,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/4432\/files\/astrologiapocket.png?v=1771503930","url":"https:\/\/www.chandal.tv\/en-in\/products\/astrologia","provider":"Chandal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
