What an interesting article. I am not sure that I agree with everything in it. In particular, I do not necessarily agree that a "post-modern" approach is helpful to our practice. On the other hand, Mr. Hand makes a good case for a positive direction for astrology in our world.

I think one of the most important things is that astrology really does presuppose a Consciousness to the universe. It really can not fit within a the box of modern scientism.

I think that has been something that I have been grappling with since I converted to Traditional/Classical Astrology. I think that because these techniques tend to "work" better, many of the spiritual and philosophical premises behind the practice get lost. I don't think that the concepts of self improvement and spirituality are particularly modern concepts. I think that striving for virtue is a very old concept that has actually been largely lost in this day and age.

Oh dear, sorry about the soapbox.
