In Section 40 of Silsilat al-Dhahab (from Jami's Haft Awrang), Jami highlights why earthly monarchs must consult astronomers and astrologers. He bases this on a cosmic principle: all terrestrial events, from the shining of light to the crawling of an ant, originate in the movements of the celestial spheres. Since kings constantly fluctuate between hope for success and fear of ruin, they rely on celestial sages to decode these heavenly shifts. By distinguishing auspicious and inauspicious alignments, these sages help rulers navigate state affairs in accordance with cosmic destiny.
