S.A. An unfailingexperienceofmundaneeventsin harmonywith the changes occurring in the heavens, has instructed and compelled my unwilling belief. Johannes Kepler Astrology is astronomy brought to earth and applied to the affairs ofmen. Ralph Waldo Emerson The natures and dispositions ofmen are, not without truth, dis- tinguished from the predominances ofthe planets. Sir Francis Bacon Astrology is an acausal phenomenon ... A horoscope is the equivalentofamathematical formula. It is the mathematical pattern to which one human life functions. Carl Payne Tobey Astrology does not offer an explanation of the laws ofthe uni- verse, nor why the universe exists. What it does, to put it in simplest terms, is to show us that there is a rhythm to the universe, and that man's own life partakes ofthis rhythm. Henry Miller I "believe in" astrology forthesame reason thatyou "believein" the multiplication table ... It works. Grant Lewi Astrology would be a large scale example ofsynchronism, ifit had at its disposal thoroughly tested findings. But at least there are some facts adequately tested and fortified by a wealth of statistics which make the astrological problem seem worthy of philosophical investigation. It is assured of recognition from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation ofall the psychological knowledge ofantiquity.
