Horoscopes Are Fun But Not Real or Proven in Any Way
More than 2000 years in the past, the Greek philosopher Plato wrote in his cosmological treatise, the Timaeus, that the globe was a residing creature endowed with soul and intelligence.
It is only in such a globe that astrology as a instrument for self-realization is feasible.
In a universe that is conscious and alive, every little thing emanates from the head of the cosmos.
The celestial bodies, as details of mind, are the seen manifestations of that higher consciousness and, as this sort of act as intermediaries among the heavens and the Earth.
They move and are moved by resonance in accordance with the emanations that pour forth from the divine brain.
But today science has demonstrated no evidence of the stars and planets affecting our personal lives at all whatsoever and that there simply is nothing at all in the pseudo science of astrology to show it to be real or proven.
But some still argue that if the moon effects the tides on earth it effects the water in our bodies too and so the planets do indeed have an effect on our emotions and therefore our actions.
Others strongly believe in astrology because they have found their readings to be so accurate and true to their current feelings.
Critics argue that this is simply a skill on the part of the astrologer to make everything fit for everyone by being universal and appealing to anyone who relates it to their own personal life.
They point to the fact that if someone was told the forecast of another star sign without knowing it they would feel great affinity with this reading too.
The best challenge to the belief in astrology appears to be that even if the distant stars and planets truly affected our lives how would anyone here on earth be able to translate this into the fine details of our complicated emotions in any real and solid way? While for millions of people around the world astrology is just a harmless bit of fun that they read in the newspaper on the way to work in the morning.
There are some people who pay large amounts of money for private readings and even follow the path laid down to them by the astrologer even if this advice goes against their better judgement.
The best advice for everyone is to enjoy reading your horoscope but do not take it too seriously.
