So we all use basic math to structure our lives, or total chaos would reign.
But few of us use any astrology and chaos is pouring in our poor little psyches. And pills and religion don't help much. Time to bring back practical wisdom? Why did it leave in the first place?

Archimedes called it astrologos. ASTRO "pertains to the celestial bodies"; and LOGOS "is the rational principle that develops the universe." Jesus called it ASTROLOGIA. We now call it ASTROLOGY: "sluggish & dull." Come on, man.

Jesuits and Astrology

'The first science' is a heavenly blend of science and spirit, utilized for thousands of years. But centuries of scorn by the Church and the insidious spread of scientific materialism were a demonic duo determined to divide and displace celestial science. And by the 1700s they succeeded and astronomy verses astrology was the fractured result.

Both still track planetary cycles, but only astrologers continue to track their effects on everything under the Sun. And astronomers are now aligned with The Church and the whole academic establishment to mock & vilify astrology. And nothing stifles inquiry like ridicule & fear. When censorship just won't fly? Not to say it's deliberate, not to say it's not. And it sure is curious that Jesuits study and practice astrology.

Many through time have sung astrology's praises. Here are just a few more...

Dante
"Astrology [is] the noblest of sciences."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Men should take their knowledge from the Sun, the Moon and the Stars."

Confucius
"Heaven sends down its good and evil symbols and wise men act accordingly."

Plato
"Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself."

D.H. Lawrence
"We need not feel ashamed of flirting with the zodiac. The zodiac is well worth flirting with."

Sir Walter Scott
"Do not Christians and Heathens, Jews and Gentiles, poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences?"

Plato
Astrology compels the soul to look upward and leads us from this world to another."

Goethe
"These auspicious aspects, which the astrologers subsequently interpreted for me, may have been the causes of my preservation."

Johannes Kepler
"An unfailing experience of mundane events in harmony with the changes
occurring in the heavens, has instructed and compelled my unwilling belief."

Sri Yuktswar Giri
"A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma."

Benjamin Franklin
"Oh the wonderful knowledge to be found in the stars. Even the smallest things are written there... if you had but skill to read."

Louis Pasteur
"The controls of life are structured as forms and nuclear arrangements,
in relation with the motions of the universe."

Pythagoras
"The stars in the heavens sing a music if only we had ears to hear."

Claudius Ptolemy
"It is clearly evident that most events of a widespread nature
draw their causes from the enveloping heavens."

Sir Francis Bacon
"The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth,
distinguished from the predominance of the planets."

Hippocrates
"A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right
to call himself a physician."

J.P. Morgan
"Anyone can be a millionaire, but to become a billionaire
you need an astrologer."

Carl Sagan
"If our lives are controlled by traffic signals in the sky,
why try to change anything?"

Sir Thomas Aquinas
"The celestial Bodies are the Cause of All that takes
place in the Sublunar World."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Astrology is astronomy brought down to Earth and
applied toward the affairs of men."

Theodore Roosevelt
"I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of
my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars."

J.P. Morgan
"Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do."

William Blake
"The Vegetative Universe, opens like a flower from the Earth's center In which is Eternity. It expands from Stars to the Mundane Shell. And there it meets Eternity again, both within and without."

T.H. Huxley
"The question of all questions for humanity, the problem which lies behind all others and is more interesting than any of them, is that of the determination of man's place in nature and his relation to the cosmos."

Carl Sagan
"That we can now think of no mechanism for astrology is relevant but unconvincing. No mechanism was known, for example, for continental drift when it was proposed by Wegener. Nevertheless, we see that Wegener was right, and those who objected on the grounds of unavailable mechanism
were wrong."

Paracelsus
"To understand correctly the meaning of the words Alchemy and Astrology,
it is necessary to understand and to realize the intimate relationship and identity of the Microcosm and Macrocosm, and their mutual interaction."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Astrology interested us, for it tied men to the system. Instead of an isolated beggar, the farthest star felt him and he felt the star. However rash and however falsified by pretenders and traders in it, the hint was true and divine, the soul's avowal of its large relations and that climate, century, remote natures as well as near, are part of its biography."

Benjamin Franklin as Richard Saunders
"Courteous Reader, Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer."
