None of my astrological friends supports the anti-astrological views of some people here, in fact I think that there are some skeptics dressed up as "astrologers" here with an agenda behind, not to mention the business agenda of others. It is hard to find a true astrologer nowadays, withou... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Chronobiology Replies: 97 Views: 67343 Thu Apr 29, 2010 5:23 pm Jump to post
For me, the most important issue are the results, whatever would be the explanation of the mechanism involved behind these results. However as astrology is a science, and one of the oldest sciences, I am also interested in the advancement of scientific research in the field, not only because it will...

1) How did you, personally, arrive at the view you currently have of the significance, and correct way to interpret, the work of Michel and Francoise Gauquelin? (For instance, what books did you read, what people did you listen to etc?) 2) Suppose that someone says to you that they want to understa...

It is so relevant that your dogmatic assertion that the birth chart mirrors the physical reality of the sky has been shown to be false. Oh no, I am not dogmatic at all :lol: I never said that birth charts reflects the physical sky, but "the sky" with all its astrological factors that are ...

Sonia, I salute your indefatigability, and thank you for provoking some very interesting responses. Thank you :D Unfortunately your approach is anti-astrological and damage Astrology, I am sorry to say you this, but is what I think. Regarding the book it was not my intention to exactly quote what t... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Chronobiology Replies: 97 Views: 67343 Tue Apr 27, 2010 1:24 pm Jump to post
Re: the standard astrological chart I will say something because young students can read all this crap and they can believe it and be badly affected by it. . The previous post refers to the effects of ignoring celestial latitude and ignoring the effect of parallax, which is how astrologers work 95% of the time. Modern astrological sof...

Explanatory models we have quite a lot and logically we don't go to put the newborn in the planet :lol: or in our consulting rooms :D for that we have birth charts. Synchronicity (the only one explanatory model that makes sense for to explain Gauquelin results), relativity or gravity cannot be physi...

yes, Hamblin quoted it in his book himself, if you had the book in English I could indicate you the pages with the references.. I was referring especially to some authors of the last two centuries by the way, earlier writings are even worse to understand but I don't dismiss ALL old astrology neither...

Hi Eddy, of course I knew about Hamblin's departure of the profession, I would do the same if the situation doesn't change because is very tiring to be a logical and critical thinker in the astrological community today, too much clash of conflicts of interest and too much astrological business darke...

Traditional astrology (together with the new techniques which have been added on to it) consists of a vast mass of disconnected assertions, which almost certainly are a mixture of truths, half-truths, blind guesses, and superstitions. And, since these assertions do not relate back to any fundamenta... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Chronobiology Replies: 97 Views: 67343 Fri Apr 23, 2010 3:30 pm Jump to post
