Medieval astrology

Medieval astrology was a belief system that linked the positions of planets and stars to events on Earth, including individual fate and societal happenings. Practitioners thought celestial bodies influenced human lives, personality traits, and health, based on their placements in zodiac signs and houses. They combined astronomy with mystical ideas, using horoscopes and charts to interpret these influences. While it was popular and respected during the Middle Ages, it lacked scientific evidence, blending astrology with religious and philosophical views of the time. Despite its decline today, medieval astrology significantly influenced historical culture, medicine, and astrology's later development.
