Zodiac Wheel from Aurora Consurgens

In the center of a circular zodiac wheel, a woman with a white head covering and green gown sits with her legs parted, exposing her genitalia. She holds a large, pleated fan or shell-like object in her hands. Encircling her are the twelve signs of the zodiac, depicted in individual segments against varying colored backgrounds. Outside the wheel, in the upper right corner, a black sun with golden rays shines against a dark blue sky.

This image originates from the 'Aurora Consurgens', a 15th-century alchemical treatise attributed to Pseudo-Aquinas. It links alchemical transformation with astrological influences, utilizing the personified figure of 'Sapientia' (Divine Wisdom) at the center of the cosmos.
