Project description

Have you ever wondered what astrology is about and where it comes from?
This lecture is meant as a point of entry intro astrological studies, exploring its main concepts and how we can use planets, stars and constellations as a language. We will go over some of the history of astrology and observational astronomy and with the help of a virtual planetarium, explore how the ancient astrologers looked at the sky.

This event is part of the development of Horoskopos, a virtual planetarium for astrological studies which is being developed as my master's Thesis. With this lecture, I hope to explore the possibilities of this project as a learning tool.

Horoskopos will also be available for testing as a part of the Bauhaus Gamesfabrik events.
