“Astrology is a science,” its supporters say while its detractors declare, “Astrology is a form of superstition dating from the time when polytheistic religions held sway.” “It can help you,” its supporters maintain while its detractors firmly believe that “it is based on suggestion and allows no room for free will.” More often than not, skeptics express their suspicion with questions such as, “How can you possibly believe in your daily natal chart?

How can Astrology be taken seriously when it is based on a geocentric system?

Astrology denies free will. This is yet another of the prejudices against astrology by those who do not know what it is about.

What is precession? Precession is referred to as the Grand Year, the Universal Year, the Year of God, the Platonic Year and the cycle of equinoxes. To explain what a Grand Year is we must first explain what one year on Earth means. This is simple since we humans know that what we call a year is equivalent to the time required by the Earth to rotate completely around the Sun. This is about 365.25 days... More

Is Astrology a science? To answer this question, we must first know the answer to the question “What is science?” At the moment, the definition of science is a coherent set of knowledge with its own laws and subject to being verified through experimental methods. Astrology, for its part, is based on ancient knowledge of how the Universe functions and on the human psyche. It makes use of the knowledge of astronomy and of ephemerides (precise tables describing the movements of celestial bodies). It also uses mathematical formulas. At the same time, it unifies the knowledge of geography, psychology and mythology... More

Others consider that the crisis has yet to reach bottom and that it will last for years to come. Others still would like to convince us that the crisis is not real, that it is the result of fear taking over as memories of the great world recession of 1929 to 1933 are triggered off in the collective unconscious...

Why there is no such thing as a daily horoscope. The vast majority of daily newspapers worthy of the name try their best to include a daily horoscope in their last page. Then, in the style of Marie-Antoinette who, unaware of other people’s problems, advised them to eat cake if they had no bread to eat, these same newspapers that are incapable of protecting you from pages filled with violence, hunger, crime and injustice will offer you, at the very end, a “piece of cake” known as the daily horoscope...

Does Astrology make use of magic? This is one of the most widespread prejudices concerning astrology. To answer this question, we must first ask another question. What is the essence of astrology and what is the essence of magic? Up until about the middle of the 20^th century, Astrology had no relation to psychology.
