Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi What do you think of the quote below?' Paulo A serious problem with astrology is its limited perspective. Astrology was born in an area close to the equator and did not take into consideration those living in latitudes where the zodiac signs do not appear for the same periods of time. As Michel Gauquelin points out, "Astrology, begun in latitudes relatively close to the equator, made no provisions for the possibility that no planet may be in sight (in the higher latitudes) for several weeks in a row" [Michel Gauquelin, The Cosmic Clocks, Chicago, IL: Henry Regnery Col, 1967, p. 78] This means those living in the higher latitues in places such as Alaska, Norway, Finland, and Greenland have no planetary influence in their lives, for it is almost impossible to calculate what point of the zodiac is rising on the horizon above the Arctic circle. Since this is the case, one of the basic pillars of astrology now crumbles, as Van Buskirk points out, "Astrology can hardly be scientifically based on its own premise that the microscosm reflects the influence of the macrocosm, when one of the microcosms (man) above the 66th latitude is left uninfluenced by the cosmos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well,its an old preoblem for us astrologers. How do Indians do a chart for people born so high up? thanks Paulo - Wendy Vasicek jyotish-vidya Tuesday, October 24, 2006 3:41 AM Re: old problem Dear Paulo, //Hi What do you think of the quote below?' Paulo// You have sent this same (ridiculous) query simultaneously to four different groups...this practice, known as 'spamming' is frowned upon and will not help your endeavours to learn jyotish; which, at this stage, I have to conclude are anything but sincere. As for the query itself; it's pure nonsense...intellectual diarrhoea (as Maharishi would say).

The truth is Paulo that there is no place on earth that is not influenced by the cosmos...
