Product Description
Product Description
This defence of astrology is written by a self-confessed believer of astrology. It discusses the history and principles of astrology by refuting the numerous objections against it, surveying the evidence of astrology, chronicling how this evidence has provoked lies and double standards from the scientific community and concludes that the case for astrology is irrefutable. The book argues that astrology has two central premises - that correlations exist between celestial and terrestrial events and that correspondences exist between the positions of the planets at birth and the human personality.

Very Good at Points,, Feb 17 2007

This review is from: Case For Astrology (Hardcover)
At its very best, this is a very good read, at its worst, its almost unreadable. John is at his best when demolishing the arguments of those who would have you believe the world is spiritually flat. Repeatedly demonstrating how science is anything but unbiased when used to address Astrology or any other esoteric subject. Unfortunately his often scathing tone can get right annoying after a while.I also wish he had shown more discipline when presenting the postive case for his subject, but John simply has never been a really disciplined writer, and the text tends to wander rather than hold to a logical thread. This book is IMHO a very good introduction to the esoteric for anyone who has come to ponder, if how it is that science has become our ultimate arbitrator of reality, while it produced so many anomalies. It certainly gives anyone willing to question the premises of the church of progress a lot to think about. I only wish the tone had been a bit less scathing and thus more readable.
Listmania!
