This print showcases the Albrecht von Waldstein horoscope, cast by the renowned astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1608. At the age of 25, this Bohemian military leader's destiny was accurately foretold through this intricate astrological diagram. The central square reveals his birth date and time, accompanied by his German title "The Noble Man". Surrounding triangles depict the positions of celestial bodies that influence twelve distinct aspects of his personality. Kepler's name proudly adorns the top title while von Waldstein's name takes center stage. Each zodiac sign is symbolically represented, emphasizing their impact on von Waldstein's life trajectory. This historical artwork from the 17th century provides a fascinating glimpse into astrology's role during that era. As we delve into each month and trait associated with these signs, it becomes evident how ambition and violence were destined to shape von Waldstein's path. The precision with which Kepler mapped out these influences is truly remarkable.
