EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century illustration delves into the intricate world of astrology, showcasing the influence of four qualities - hot, dry, wet, and cold - along with their planetary associations. The central Earth is depicted surrounded by the four elements - earth, wind, fire, and water - creating a harmonious balance that was believed to govern horoscopes during this time period. Each planet's association with a specific quality and element held great significance in understanding one's astrological chart and predicting future events. The interplay between these celestial bodies and elemental forces shaped the beliefs and practices of ancient astrologers as they sought to unravel the mysteries of the universe. In this black-and-white print, we are transported back to a time when astrology was not just a form of entertainment but a serious study that influenced daily life decisions. The detailed depiction of each quality and its corresponding planet serves as a reminder of our connection to the cosmos and how it continues to impact our lives today. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the enduring fascination with astrology throughout centuries past. It serves as a visual representation of humanity's eternal quest for meaning in the stars above.
