Astrology is the practice of studying the positions of celestial bodies like the sun, moon, and planets, believing that their alignment at a specific time, particularly at birth, influences a person's personality and life events; a "horoscope" is a chart depicting these celestial positions at a given moment, used by astrologers to interpret potential future trends and character traits; while the "zodiac" refers to an imaginary belt in the sky divided into 12 sections, each representing a distinct astrological sign, with each sign associated with specific personality traits based on the position of the sun at the time of birth.

About the Author: Petrus Apianus (April 16, 1495 – April 21, 1552), also known as Peter Apian, Peter Bennewitz, and Peter Bienewitz, was a German humanist, known for his works in mathematics, astronomy and cartography. His work on "cosmography", the field that dealt with the earth and its position in the universe, was presented in his most famous publications, Astronomicum Caesareum (1540) and Cosmographicus liber (1524). His books were extremely influential in his time, with the numerous editions in multiple languages being published until 1609. The lunar crater Apianus and asteroid 19139 Apian are named in his honour.

Apianus's work included in mathematics – in 1527 he published a variation of Pascal's triangle, and in 1534 a table of sines – as well as astronomy. In 1531, he observed Halley's Comet and noted that a comet's tail always point away from the sun. Girolamo Fracastoro also detected this in 1531, but Apianus's publication was the first to also include graphics. He designed sundials, published manuals for astronomical instruments and crafted volvelles ("Apian wheels"), measuring instruments useful for calculating time and distance for astronomical and astrological applications.
