Astrology as a Science

January 10th, 2007

I’ve always felt that someday astrology could be explained scientifically. I’ve never been in the camp that considers astrology a part of the occult or the inexplicable. Recently, I watched a fascinating DVD narrated by Rick Levine called Quantum Astrology. Rick feels that astrology can be explained by quantum physics and electromatic waves. As I listened to his explanations, my mind said, yes, this makes sense! I’ve written a full review of the DVD with a link to it on Amazon:

In addition, I’m reading a book called The Circuitry of the Self: Astrology and the Developmental Model by Bruce Scofield. This book argues that astrology is every bit a science as the field of psychology, can be studied in similar ways, and that astrology is also biological. It’s a fascinating read. I’ll post my review when I have it finished.
We are entering exciting times for astrology. Now serious interviews with astrologers are appearing in magazines like Forbes and Vanity, and on the CNN website, books are coming out that encourage astrologers to begin studies in their own field in the same vein as the current field of psychology. More and more people are becoming interested in how the planetary patterns and movements affect how we feel and how we react. These days people want to learn to their potential and they welcome guidance for how that can happen.

In 2011, we’ll enter the age of Aquarius. Many fear it’s the end of the world, but astrologers see a new era beginning, one in which we may all become more enlightened, more accepting of previous views that had been considered taboo or ridiculous. Astrology is the oldest branch of psychology, and I hope within my lifetime to see it taught in all schools along with other courses. Unless astrologers themselves treat their own methods as an accepted science, the public won’t either. More and more psychologists are coming out in the open, showing how astrology gives them an advantage in understanding clients and their needs.

I’m excited about how the direction astrology is taking, especially with quantum physics emerging in scientific areas. I like what Rick Levine said, “Astronomy is the glove, and astrology is the hand.” I couldn’t agree more!
