Abstract

In this work we will present a small study on Kepler’s astrology and some reflections on the practice in his conceptions. The writing that guided our research was De fundamentis astrologiae certioribus (1602), a work in which we are concerned with the fundamentals of astrology, in addition to the forecasts for that year. Our analysis focused mainly on the characteristics of the planets that led us to start a reflection on the role of light. From this study we believe it is possible, in fact, to attribute a fundamental importance of astrology in its cosmology
