A practitioner who combines astrology with alchemy, seeking to understand cosmic influences on chemical and spiritual transformations.
Compound of astro- (from Greek astron, 'star') and alchemist (from Arabic al-kīmiyā). This term reflects historical figures who believed celestial bodies guided transmutation and spiritual work.
Medieval alchemists genuinely timed their experiments by planetary positions—they'd heat mercury under Saturn's influence because Saturn 'ruled' lead and heavy metals, blending astronomy with proto-chemistry.
