Nice two cents :-)! I agree, arguing whether eastern or western

astrology is better can degenerate into a "My Dad can beat up your

Dad" quarrels.

 

A paragraph from your writeup that caught my eye was

"There certainly have been a few, VERY few individuals who had been

very successful at predicting, consistently, in a documented manner

available for public scrutiny, but have they always used ONLY

astroLOGIC, knowingly or unknowingly, on which their track record of

outstanding performance is based? When individuals who have been

accepted as authorities or teachers and writers of fame confess in

their rare 'human' moments that there is something higher than mere

logic and knowledge guiding them, and others, invoked possibly

through an arduous spiritual practice, years of yogic discipline and

a ritualistic process in which they take the horoscope to bed and do

japam (chanting/concentration/meditation) and then a picture begins

to emerge, evolve ... etc. What is one to make of this, other than

invite a mental framework in which the boundaries of TECHNICAL

astrology have not yet been nailed down sharp and tight but the need

for honest exploration emerges and hopefully continues, obviously."

 

I would like to contend that "something higher than mere logic and

knowledge" guides most if not all major conclusions in science. A

prime example is the famous DNA structure problem, that apparently

came to the scientist (forget his name now) in a dream, after years

of careful calculations and research - he saw a pair of intertwining

snakes in his dream and woke up to realise that the double helix

structure perfectly fit his research data and hypothesis. All that

logic and knowledge was in the conscious mind, but it came together

in the subconscious mind which came up with the answer. Maybe that's

how the science of astrology works too, and that would explain the

flashes of intuition that good astrologers use to pull all the

unrelated bits and pieces into a coherent whole. Just a thought.
