So many people, experiencing a rough spot in their lives, ask astrology to give them some hope. It is as though that request should naturally illicit a response that offers them a happier future. I was one of those people. Later, looking back, I realized that I somehow thought that if I knew the fu...

also, while this is related to the topic of this post, it is not philosophy we are talking here - but doing rectification work. Doing rectification work, or at least talking about it, is in essence talking philosophy because it impinges on the question, is astrology valid? You're probably familiar ...

Re: Tidal Effects: The Planets vs. the Pebbles in Your Yard

Here is a link to a companion piece related to the August 2015 Focal Point column in Sky and Telescope by Alan MacRobert: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/sky-and-telescope-magazine/beyond-the-printed-page/tidal-effects-planets-pebbles-yard_20150512/ I don't think there's anything new here.

Re: Move away

I made a prediction for my client for the year 2014 a year ago. I predicted a successful year for him and it happened in this way. But I didn?t "see" his moving away from parents to new location in the same city in late December 2014. This was very important for him. I tried to "find...

I got interested one morning in the fall of 1964 in my junior year in high school, when my teacher, the day after our psychology text's peremptory dismissal of "the pseudoscience of astrology," brought to class an astrology magazine to drive home the point of how silly it was. He would hav...

Hi Spock-- I appreciate your thoughts on my OP question #4. I guess it depends upon how one views the matter of explanation in astrology. Why do we do somthing this way and not that way? History gets at the "why" questions. To an extent we can use the history of astrology to discern what ...

(continued from Nov. 5) Continuing from my previous post, based on the premise that we can create a better astrology than we've had in the past, I'd like to offer some suggestions as to how we can contribute to that end. I'll start with my contention that "if astrology is not analyzable into co...

In my November 1 response to waybread I suggested that if astrology is not analyzable into constituent elements, with the validity and meaning of each element separately determinable, if it can only be approached as a whole, it could not in principle have been discovered and developed via observatio...
