During the Elizabethan era, there was a strong belief in Astrology, with many viewing the stars as influential over human affairs and destinies. This period was marked by a fascination with celestial bodies, and astrology was often intertwined with politics, medicine, and personal decisions. People believed that the positions and movements of planets could provide insights into character and future events, leading to a blend of superstition and scientific inquiry. The era's literature, including works by Shakespeare, often reflects this astrological perspective, showcasing the cultural significance of the stars.

What is the Elizabethan attitude toward stars and astrology?

During Elizabethan times people believed that the stars, planets and signs of the zodiac were linked to various parts of their bodies. Things that happened in the universe, which were called the "macrocosm" were believed to happen on a smaller scale in the human body which were called the "microcosm". The body was also thought to contain four fluids they called "humours". These were black bile, phlegm, blood and cholor. A persons temperament was thought to depend on the way these "humours" were mixed. Most people were thought to have one humour that was more dominant than the others. Illness and mental disorders were blamed on an imbalance of the humours e.g, depression was thought to be caused by an excess of black bile.
