Re: Astrology

“is it really a Science or more of rational analysis (perspective thinking).”

Call me lazy, but I’m not in the business of astrology and this is not the place to elaborate on the subject. So, I prefer to give the word to the pro. As you will see, astrologers can be their own best critics:

“between what we know and what we don't know, there is a big gap... i find myself being quite skeptical of what i think i know... the alternative is a form of arrogance as i see it.. […] that said, i continue to think there is something to astrology, but it isn't with all the baggage that astrology is presently known for…” James M

"The late Alexander Ruperti, in an article about Dane Rudhyar that he contributed to the Astrological Journal in 1986, wrote:

‘There is not one Astrology with a capital A. In each epoch, the astrology of the time was a reflection of the kind of order each culture saw in celestial motions, or the kind of relationship the culture formulated between heaven and earth.’

This is a statement well worth remembering, and even repeating to ourselves each time we attempt to define the nature of the astrology we practice according to our own individual belief system or world-view. Even more than the context of the culture (and subculture) in which we live, the predisposition of the individual astrologer shapes the definitions and expressions given to astrology, in both practice and philosophy. Astrology cannot be explained by any single theoretical framework, but must be viewed against a specific religious, philosophical, social, and political background and, equally importantly, from the perspective of individual practitioners working within a particular milieu in a particular place, in a particular decade of a particular century. Today, unlike our medieval counterparts, we have a wide range of religious, social and political perspectives from which to choose without fearing we will be burned at the stake, and it becomes increasingly questionable for any of us to attempt to find the ‘One True Astrology’ which will provide us with absolute spiritual and ideological security while identifying heretical astrologies as ‘incorrect’, ‘bad’, or ‘false’.” Liz Greene

Well, maybe the future has already happened (just read Stephen Hawking’s time theory and others)…but that doesn’t prevent me from
