description The first part of Don Quijote hides a number of perplexing questions regarding astrology. The text is not so much interested in the opposition between the influence of the stars and free will, but deals with a series of questions, most of which emerge from the studies of the Florentine physician and philosopher, Marsilio Ficino. The essay begins with a study of the author’s self-fashioning as a saturnine figure who hides his wisdom in a whimsical text. Secondly, we present the characterization of Don Quijote as a visionary figure following the influence of the seventh Ptolemaic planet. Thirdly we reveal the necromantic aspects of Grisóstomo’s poetry, a shepherd who studied astrology. The fourth question deals with don Luis’ sacrifice as a new Palinurus. We end the essay with a saturnine chariot that conducts don Quijote back home.
