The interest in Renaissance and Elizabethan Astrology



The Renaissance era, or the re-birth, saw the emergence of new ideas and a deep curiously in
anything mystical.

Could men predict future events?

Could the most provident day for a special event be predicted from deciphering a horoscope?
( The well educated and learned Queen Elizabeth obviously believed in horoscopes when January
15, 1559 was chosen as the day of her coronation, from her horoscope cast by John Dee).

Could a base metal be converted, or transmuted into gold or silver as the Alchemists believed?

Could an Elixir of Life be produced which cured all diseases?

Could the use of magic forecast or control natural events?


The rewards for any Astrologer who controlled any of these element would become, rich, famous
and all powerful.
