Did you know that Galileo read people\’s horoscopes as a side business?
In Europe during the late Renaissance Astrology played a very important role for many people and was highly regarded as a \”science\” alongside Astronomy and Mathematics.
Military generals and noblemen would choose a particular date for their wedding or plan an important battle on a specific \’lucky day\’ based on their horoscope readings.
This is where the term if the stars align, meaning if everything goes really well, comes from.
