Abstract :
Based on old beliefs, astrology reading is a means of divination that studies the position and aspects of heavenly bodies with a view to predicting their influences on human affairs. It correlates celestial cycles and positions with terrestrial events and experiences. The Iranian poet, Nezāmi Ganjavi, by using astrology, illustrates “aspects of heavenly bodies”. The present paper studies his poems about conjunction, opposition, quadrate, trine and sextile.
