Medieval and Renaissance Europe represents the high-water mark for astrology. Flourishing at all levels of society, it was a subject of high theological speculation, used to advise kings and popes and to arrange any activity from the beginning of battles to the most auspicious time to have one's hair cut. Astrology was applied to magic and medicine, could locate buried treasure and was regularly used to predict the Apocalypse.
