Читать книгу Astrology for the New Age - Marc Allen - Страница 19

I don‘t attempt to prove anything about the validity of astrology. Most of the attempts to prove its validity seem to me to be as ridiculous as the attempts by so-called ’scientists’ or anyone else to disprove its validity.

I simply see that it exists, and has existed for thousands of years, and that it has cataloged a large number of different correspondences which many people of many different cultures have apparently found meaningful and even useful. I see that some of these correspondences simply relate to the seasons of the year — the month of Aries is the advent of spring, the month of Leo is the height of summer … But many of the other correspondences seem to relate to other cycles which are subtler, perhaps reflecting more archtypal levels of our experience.

There’s no need to prove it, or disprove it. It is a tool, a tool to use as you wish.

“No one should hold it to be incredible that out of the astrologer’s foolishness and blasphemies some useful and sacred knowledge may come.”

—Johaness Kepler
