M. Ashmand is a scientific publication likely written in the early 19th century. The work serves as a translation of Ptolemy's astrological treatise, exploring the impact of celestial bodies on human affairs and natural phenomena. It explores the ancient principles of astrology, seeking to validate its historical significance and relevance in understanding the world. The opening of this work introduces the concept of astronomical prognostication, emphasizing the importance of understanding the positions and influences of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon, and planets. Ptolemy discusses how these heavenly bodies affect the environment and human characteristics, suggesting that knowledge of their movements can lead to predictions about individual destinies and significant events. He argues that while prescience is challenging, it is possible and valuable for aiding individuals in navigating their lives based on the ambient qualities reflected in the stars.
