This zodiac image is a woodcut from the 1512 Augsburg edition of Regiomontanus’s 'Kalendarius teütsch'. In this visual, the names of the zodiac signs are provided in text. Rather than using pictorial figures - such as a ram, bull, twins, crab, or scorpion - each sign is depicted through schematic star patterns.
The figure behind this publication is Regiomontanus, born Johannes Müller von Königsberg. Born in 1436, this German mathematician and astronomer specialized in calendars, celestial phenomena, and astronomical tables. There’s an important distinction to make: Regiomontanus wasn’t the engraver of this 1512 edition. Since he passed away in 1476, this page should be interpreted as an early 16th-century Augsburg printing that exemplifies the calendar and astronomical legacy he established in the 15th century.
Back then, the zodiac served a function far broader than the personality interpretations common today. In the tradition of medical astrology, the sign occupied by the Moon was a critical factor in determining which part of the body could be treated. The associations were as follows: Aries with the head and face; Taurus with the neck and throat; Gemini with the shoulders and arms; Cancer with the chest area; Leo with the heart and back; Virgo with the abdomen and intestines; Libra with the waist and kidneys; Scorpio with the reproductive organs; Sagittarius with the thighs; Capricorn with the knees; Aquarius with the lower legs and ankles; and Pisces with the feet. That’s why, when scheduling bloodletting, administering medication, or performing certain surgical procedures, it was necessary to consider not only the date but also the position of the Moon within the zodiac.
