Quote of the Day

Überhaupt ist es für den Forscher ein guter Morgensport, täglich vor dem Frühstück eine Lieblingshypothese einzustampfen - das erhält jung.

astrology


Recently astrology has re-emerged and became part of Western popular culture as a result of the rise of the utopian 'new age' counter-culture of the 1960s. This article, 'Astrology - A Cursory Gaze', has been written to challenge some of the principal astrological concepts, and to serve as an exploratory exercise to stimulate serious interest for those who wish to scratch below the surface to discover whether or not astrology has any intellectual value.


A CHRONOLOGICAL WESTERN
GLIMPSE OF ASTROLOGY FROM
626 BC TO 1727 AD:

HISTORICAL FACTORS.

Through this division arose a retrogression by Fundamentalists, and political Right activists, from the liberal theology of the Modernists to oversimplistic, arbitrary interpretation of the Bible. The Fundamentalists preclude the Bible from: literal allegorical scenarios of 'Truth', and the ancient socio-religious institutions of Palestine. They also exclude the Yahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomic and Priestly Traditions, and the effects of the Pax Romana (27BC - 180AD) upon the Mediterranean world. And the inseparableness of the sacred Scripture and Tradition of the ancient Church which nurtured, canonized; and with Apostolic authority, interpreted the Scriptures.
