Happy Mythology Monday! We’ve noted before how astrology, metallurgy (and by extension, alchemy), and classical mythology were often closely connected during the early modern period. These woodcuts, from Johannes ab Indagine’s Introductiones apolesmaticae in physiognomiam, astrologiam naturalem, complexiones hominum, naturas planetarum, are another example of this. From the top, we have personifications of the Moon, the Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury, and each one is accompanied by their corresponding alchemical symbol. If you look at the chariot wheels, you’ll notice that they contain various Zodiac signs. Which one are you?
