I am satisfied that I scared some people a bit, it is after all ridiculous that it should work.
This gives you a notion of the universe I inhabit, I know full well things aren’t supposed to work in magical ways but in mundane ways, that follow from casual down to earth common sense logic.
In my experience some events are regulated by simple, obvious laws. But these tend to be trivial things. A phenomenon so complex as the human being, which makeup in electrochemical terms is virtually indistinguishable from the pressures that are upon him from the outside, save for this unfathomable principle called perspective, or self-valuing as I have termed it, is however governed by endlessly complex laws.
Astrology can by no means make statements about every aspect of life. But it can identify specific patterns that have been working on man and beast and plant and mineral before him since the earth was formed.
Astrology is the science of subtlety. An astrologer has to be more humble than a scientist; he can not comprehend the entirety of a chart, at least not usually. He can not see all the laws that govern a behavior. But that is what makes it all the more valuable; within the vast whole that a human is, there are so many ‘souls’, spirits, behaviors.
Polytheism and astrology were originally the same. Freud and Jung tried to bring it back, but they were still too conservative to account for the vast absurdity of the degree of coherence that makes this all such a mystery, this life.
