FOREWORD

W}lat is asEologyr'?

It o.crrs only to a ve.y few pcople to ask thir question.

If they are studfng, practicing or me.€ly reading about

astrology, most penore take for glanted that asfology is

a My of pr€dicting futu.c events with at lcast a tair

degre€ of accuracy and of dctermining what arc good or

bad timcs for p€rfolming various kinds of acts - startin8

an entcrFf,ise!genin8 married, irvesting rnoncy, buying

cloth6, ctc. Individuats who are concerned with p6ycho-

logical problem and are cage. to know morc objecliv€ly

the wcakness ed stren8ths of their charactc. come to

astrology for somewhat differcnt reasons. Thcy want to

understand thcmelves better. They aiso Mnt to discover

what mal6 other people behave or feel thc My th€y do,

so to be able to se this knowledge in d@lin8s with them.

F om thee tso points of view dtlology can be con-

sid€red, broadly sFakinS, a "$ience." A sienc€ is a

method of gainiDg a knowledge oi what is arouncl us, and

ot predicting what is going to happen when larious factors

in ou enviroment act upon each other - for instance,

wh€n certain chemicals combiDe to produe accuately

foresecablc rcactioro. Such a knolledgc, ;f it has prcven

.€liable in a large nurnber of cdetully

idcntfied

measurcd instances, can be calcd

"s.ientific,"

whatwer

the method to gain the knowledge has becn.

"Reliability" in knowl€dgc cm best be attained when

one deab rrith external fact! aDd material substances.It

can have only a statistical characte. when a lnowledge

of. either infinitety snull particles of matter (or units of

encr8y), or of huDar beings is sought. Srill, such a staris-

tical kind of knowledge can be quite reliable, if properly

uscdi witness the atom bomb or much that p€nains to the

social-political fi€ld of mass propaganda. It is said that

Astology

for New Minds

To define astrology is as dilficult a task as to

define, let us say, philosophy, psychology, or even

medicine. Not only arc there many schoolsor sys-

tems of philosophy, psychology and medicinc, but

a definirion uhich would fit the rrspecrivcpur

posesof th.'se various systemsand bc acceptable

to all is well-nigh impossible. At lirst thought it

would seem that medicine obviously relers to thc

type of activity aimed at curing illncsscs;for some,

however, medicine is the a/l of restoring and

maintaining health in hrrnan indiidual per-

rorr, whilc for others it is primarily, iI not

exclusively, rh,e scimct of suppressing 1furarc.

"Official" medicine in America follorvs mainly

the second line of approach; but even here, and

lar morc so in Europc (and (otally so in cncicnt

China), the first mentioned attitude and goal is

considered by numcrous physicians (homeopaths,

naturopaths, osteopathsand the grcal variety oI

"healcrs") as characterizing the one basic function

of medicine.

There is as well an abundance of varieties of

modern and ancient psychologiesor philosophies.
