Medieval and Renaissance Europe marked the high water mark for astrology. This book examines the foundation of modern astrology in the medieval and Renaissance worlds. It challenges the historical convention that astrology flourished only between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries.

Focusing on its magical and apocalyptic movements and use in everyday life throughout history, this title charts Western astrology from 30,000 BCE up to the 17th century. It examines the foundations of a major feature of popular culture in the contemporary west, and explores the relationship between astrology and religion, and magic and science.
