There have been a few that have been upset by some aspect of the article or other since it was posted about two weeks ago.
However, when I asked a couple of them what they would have said differently, they didn't have a decent answer.
So it stands as posted.
From the MYSTERY SERIES:
ASTROLOGY, an in depth, almost exhaustive, or at least, exhausting, Look at the ancient practice.
An online acquaintance of the Desk asked:
"You might be able to answer this: 'One of my relatives' reads their horoscope every day and really believes in it. Is there really anything to it?"
Sure, give us a bit to do some research and we'll see.
And while we're at it, we'll look at the larger worlds of Astrology/Astromancy (all puns at no extra charge) in its Sidereal, Judicial, Tropical, and other forms, as well as whatever else we find in that file drawer. And, of course, there will be however many tangents and side trips and even a look at the ancient science of melothesia in light of the electrical properties of our Solar System and maybe even what happened to the Thirteenth sign of the Zodiac.
And, as is the way of things, we'll drop by our old stomping grounds of Alchemy and tie the two together before moving on again to look at a couple of other applications of the subject, such as the famous Astronomical Town Clocks and other topics that come up as we go. Then later, perhaps toward the very end, we'll look at why some Western religious doctrines categorically condemn it in the same breath they do the practice of witchcraft even while they glorify and sing songs about a small group of its practitioners from long ago.
