1676 Henry Coley ASTROLOGY Kepler Rudolphine Tables Brahe Star Charts Astronomy
Henry Coley was a 17th-century English astrologer who is remembered for his book "Clavis Astrologiae Elimata" – a survey of the entirety of astrology. As might be expected from a 17th-century astrology text, this book covers:
· aspects and behaviors of the planets
o names, characters, orbs, latitudes, natures, signs, etc.
· adding and subtracting astronomical fractions
· the 12 divisions of the heavens
· astrological axioms and rational experiences
· using astrology to answer fortune telling and prophecy
o on marriage, on being bewitched, etc
· Trigonometry – direction and doctrine
· Johannes Kepler's "Rudolphine Tables"
o Star catalogues, planetary tables, used to identify the position of the planets and other heavenly bodies in the solar system. Taken from Tycho Brahe.
