	In the Renaissance, the universe was seen as a macrocosm (the whole) and human beings as a microcosm (a part that mirrors the whole); thus, man was part of the universe, but he was also a whole in himself, a microcosm that mirrored the macrocosm. Man and the universe were thought to be constructed according to the same harmonic proportions.

The correspondence between macrocosm and microcosm explains why many people thought that the planets could influence their lives.
