'''Celestial Planisphere Showing the Signs of the Zodiac''' is a historical star chart created by the Dutch-German cartographer Andreas Cellarius (1596–1665) and published as part of his magnum opus, ''Harmonia Macrocosmica'' (The Celestial Atlas, or The Harmony of the Universe), in 1660. This work is one of the most splendid and influential celestial atlases of the 17th century, combining scientific rigor with baroque grandeur. The planisphere depicts the classical constellations of the zodiac, which are the group of constellations that lie along the plane of the ecliptic, the path that the Sun appears to follow over the course of a year.

The ''Harmonia Macrocosmica'' is renowned for its artistic beauty and the accuracy of its stellar and planetary positions for the time. Cellarius's planisphere stands out for its elaborate and ornate design, featuring the twelve zodiacal signs in a circular layout surrounded by intricate artwork and mythological imagery. The map serves not only as a scientific tool for understanding the heavens but also as a work of art that reflects the cultural and symbolic significance of the stars and constellations.

Cellarius's work was part of the flourishing of cartographic and astronomical knowledge during the Golden Age of Dutch exploration and science. The ''Celestial Planisphere Showing the Signs of the Zodiac'' is a testament to the era's deep interest in celestial mechanics and cosmography, as well as the human desire to chart and comprehend the cosmos. Today, original prints of Cellarius's planisphere are highly valued by collectors and historians, and the image is often reproduced in educational and cultural contexts, celebrating the historical intersection of science and art.
