		Cosimo employed almost the last hours of his life in listening to Ficinos reading of a treatise on the highest good; while Lorenzo, in a poem on true happiness, described him as the mirror of the world, the nursling of sacred muses, the harmonizer of wisdom and beauty in complete accord.

	Astrology: The Astrology of Marsilio Ficino: Divination or Science? by Angela Voss
		Ficino is clearly talking about an insight more akin to Revelation than human reason, yet this is not a Revelation directly from God to a passive recipient - it demands the active participation of the individual through the particular way he perceives patterns and signs in nature.
		Ficino describes it as incorporeal, adding 'if one pays attention to this signification, it is the thought of God who speaks that one comprehends.' He observes that in speaking, signification is a product of soul, that it is direct, unmediated, and cannot be related to sensible things.
		Very early in his career, Ficino playfully associated the singing of an Orphic Hymn to the Cosmos with the gift of a benefice from his patron Cosimo, and this is only one of many examples of his natural ability to 'read the signs' and find meaningful significance in the coincidence of events.

		Ficino was ordained a priest in 1473, and in 1487 Lorenzo had him made a canon of the Cathedral of Florence.
		Marsilio was deeply committed to promoting the immortality of the soul, he opposed the established Church doctrine of creation ex nihlio, and in his application of astrology for care of the soul and body, placed particular emphasis on imbibing the virtue of the Sun ("solarian gifts").

	Marsilio Ficino
		Ficino considered Platonic Theology to be his magnum opus and it is considered by many modern scholars to be the most characteristic work of Renaissance philosophy.
		As in Plotinus, Ficino's metaphysics centred on the relationship of man to the divine, that is, of Soul to the One, a relationship mediated by the intelligible‑intellectual world of the ideal archetypes of things, that is, by Mind.
		Ficino's hierarchy of being is, accordingly, not static in the sense that an ontological gulf separates its spheres.

		Ficino’s work with astrology and ritual led him into a controversial area of study known at the time as magic.

		If Ficino had but one recommendation to make to his reader it would be this: obtain knowledge of your horoscope and live your life in harmony with the celestials that favor you.
