Is Astrology Relevant to Consciousness and Psi

http://www.imprint.co.uk/jcs_10_6-7.html

Abstract: Many astrologers attribute a successful birth-chart reading to what

they call intuition or psychic ability, where the birth chart acts like a

crystal ball. As in shamanism, they relate consciousness to a transcendent

reality that, if true, might require a re-assessment of present biological

theories of consciousness. In Western countries roughly 1 person in 10,000 is

practising or seriously studying astrology, so their total number is

substantial. Many tests of astrologers have been made since the 1950s but only

recently has a coherent review been possible. A large-scale test of persons

born less than five minutes apart found no hint of the similarities predicted

by astrology. Meta-analysis of more than forty controlled studies suggests that

astrologers are unable to perform significantly better than chance even on the

more basic tasks such as predicting extraversion. More specifically,

astrologers who claim to use psychic ability perform no better than those who

do not. The possibility that astrology might be relevant to consciousness and

psi is not denied, but such influences, if they exist in astrology, would seem

to be very weak or very rare.

Dear Jagmeet ji,

 

Thanks for posting this article. These types of articles will continue till such

time we as Astrologers, embrace the principles of Shri Parasara and Jaimini

etal. in full. This article again proves that trying to predict without the use

of divisional charts is a futile exercise and is a game of chance. The real

clues are within the divisions and there is no mystery as to why the study

which compared the charts of many twins gave the same predictions while in

reality the life of the twins was very diverse.

 

As Shri Ramadas Ji pointed out in an earlier post Divine blessings are a must.

Incombination with full use of all the principles and Divine blessings, we no

doubt can restore the glory that this science truly deserves.

Its a wake up call along with many others that have been written on the same lines.

 

Hare Krishna

Dear Jagmeet,

Unless the methodology used is understood, the article must stand as opinion of

one who has not understood astrology at all. The system of astrology tested is

also not mentioned. So any comment would and must remain a conjecture.

Regards,

Chandrashekhar.
