Curious Cures Exhibition & A Medieval Astrology Lunch with Special Guest Chris Mitchell

Join us for a fascinating in-person event exploring medieval astrology. We begin at 10:45 for an 11:00 start at Curious Cures, a Medieval Medicine exhibition at Cambridge University Library featuring rare medieval manuscripts, including astrological texts used in the diagnosis and treatment of illness.

After the exhibition, we will move to No. 30 on Chesterton Road for 13:00 where we will enjoy a private lunch with a special interactive talk from our guest speaker, astrologer and medievalist Chris Mitchell. "THE MEDIEVAL TOOLBOX"

In medieval astrology, the planets were the active players, so finding out your strongest planet was always a good starting point. How do you do that?…
