Astrology and Astronomy in Renaissance Works

Abstract

The Renaissance period was characterized by several events and factors that made a central part in the transformational era. The scientific study of stars has significantly changed over the years and it has been a critical part of the evolution and transformation in the history of Europe. One of the things that flourished greatly during the Renaissance was the science of astronomy which involved the study of the stars and other astronomical bodies in space. This study was part of the period because of the role it played in the predictions and making future projections on the cultural, political and economic events and the situation in the transitional era. This paper focuses mainly on explaining the relationship between astrology and astronomy and how they all connect with the Renaissance period. The focus is also widened to capture the greater issues of the artifacts of the Renaissance era and how they have embraced astrology and the study of the planets and stars at large.
