O Oraculo do Passado, do presente e do Futuro (7/7)

Step into a curious laboratory where a 19th‑century astrologer lives in a narrow mountain grotto, devoted to mapping the heavens. The work is organized into seven distinct “oracles,” each exploring a different facet of the sky—from night watches to the secret language of flowers, and finally the movements of the stars themselves. In the opening section the author invites readers to learn how the past can teach us to anticipate the present and glimpse the future.

The narrative travels through the earliest myths of Himalayan shepherds, the dramatic shifts of Greek cosmology, and the tangled Ptolemaic system that dominated medieval classrooms. By the time the story reaches the Renaissance, Copernicus’ revolutionary ideas begin to reshape the picture of a rotating Earth. Listeners will discover how centuries of observation turned fanciful explanations into the precise astronomy we rely on today.
