Summary/Abstract: The basis of classical/traditional (Western) astrology was defined by a unitary – hierarchical and spherical – world view until the 17th. century. This world view, which we now call the „astrological world view,” was based on the Hermetic–Pythagorean–Platonic tradition on which astrology as „applied hermetics,” the science of the Platonic World Soul, was built. The present paper discusses the basic principles of the astrological tradition from a philosophical approach. These principles are inseparable from the creation and functioning of the World which Plato transmitted to us in his dialogue Timaeus.
