As a matter of fact, it's more reasonable to assume astral influence on the body than to believe that the mind can control the activity of a finger! Even those priding themselves on their rationality will take an occasional look at their horoscope in the paper. but both doubters & believers will be startled by this book, a book which one advance review called a 1st-of-its-kind: a serious, comprehensive look--from historical & scientific angles--at the ancient but still influential pseudoscience of astrology. As often happens, the examination of an old set of myths has led to the establishment of a new set of facts, facts which show there are certain unexplained but close connections between humans & the solar system. A study of thousands of celebrities reveals astrological parallels between their birth skies & their subsequent careers; a Japanese scientist discovers a striking change in the blood of pregnant women at sunrise; recent health surveys reveal a definite solar influence on health & sickness. These are a few of the findings of scientists discussed herein.PrefaceIntroduction1/Dialogue between man & the sky. The love matchDivorce Reconciliation2/5000 years of modern astrology.
