Caption: "An Astrologer Casting a Horoscope from Robert Fludd's (1574--1637) Utriusque Cosmi Historia Oppenheim, 1617." (Slightly edited.)
Astrologers were sort of like psychiatrists. You went them to find out why you do all the silly things you do. They explain that it is your stars and you feel better---you're just part of the cosmic order.
