About Astronomy & Astrology Art

Star charts and astronomical diagrams can present systems of observation, while zodiac images and astrological designs belong to different interpretive traditions. The two subjects have connected histories but should not be treated as equivalent forms of knowledge.

Read the original title, date and purpose of an image to understand what it represents. Historical charts may use outdated conventions, and a decorative celestial composition is not necessarily a usable guide to the night sky.
