Astrologia - XVIIII

Astrology/Astronomy

We might be tempted to view Astrologia as the card that should have been at the seventh position of the liberal arts, instead of Poesia - thus getting our familiar quadrivium consistng of Geometry, Arithmetic, Music and Astronomy. However, in the light of the time that this deck was created, Poesia had her rightful place; and also, Astrologia isn't exactly standing for astronomy as we understand it today.
