Download or read book Astrology written by Roger B. Culver and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 1988-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary astrologers claim that their craft is scientifically based and rationally consistent, and above all, that "astrology works" - a belief shared by millions of Americans, including highly visible political and media personalities. As a result, the practice of consulting the stars for advice has never been more popular - or more dangerous. Professional astronomers Roger B. Culver and Philip A. Ianna have produced a highly readable and well-referenced response to the claims of astrologers. This book points out the glaring inconsistencies associated with the basic concepts of "modern" astrology - from the zodiac itself to the fabled "Age of Aquarius." Tracing humanity''s historical fascination with the heavens that produced the celestial "twins" of astronomy and astrology, the authors leave little doubt concerning the difference between astronomical science and astrological art form. Astrology: True or False offers a complete and extensive summary of available evidence on astrology''s basic definitions, concepts, and effectiveness. The authors'' research revealed thousands of predictions gone "bust" - from the start of World War III to claims about the existence of an "anti-Earth" orbiting on the other side of the sun. They studied the famous "twenty-year cycle" of presidential death and disaster, the "moon cycles" of crime and murder in major cities, and the incidences of major personality traits in certain sun signs. Their conclusions, while disappointing to the determined believer in astrology, are nevertheless refreshingly rational.

Download or read book The Scientific Basis of Astrology written by Michel Gauquelin and published by Stein & Day. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the Stars determine our future? Millions of people believe so. And as a matter of scientific fact, it is more reasonable to assume astral influences on the human body than to believe that the human mind can control the activity of a single finger! Even people how pride themselves on their rationality will take an occasional look at their horoscope in the newspaper. but both doubters and believers will be startled by this book about man and the heavens, a book which one advance review call "a first-of-its-kind book: a serious and comprehensive look -- from historical and 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, fact which show that there are certain unexplained but close connections between man and the solar system. A study of several thousand celebrities reveals astonishing astrological parallels between their birth skies and 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 the health and sickness of thousands of people. These are just a few of the findings of scientists of international repute discussed in this fascinating book.
Download or read book The Science of Medical Astrology written by Rameshrao N., Alex Hankey and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new book on Jyotisha Astrology: Its experimental proof in cell biology and the science behind it! Unbelievable? Could you possibly imagine a book that provided a scientific proof of astrology? One that not only tells the story of many scientific experiments testing and verifying astrological predictions, but which also provides a full physical theory of the science behind it? In other words: a book that examines astrology on a full scientific basis? The Science of Medical Astrology: The Experimental Proof of Jyotisha does exactly that. Written by a rare combination of supremely skilled individuals, one a top expert in veterinary science, with a reputation that takes him for private consultations all over India, and the other a scientist with top qualifications from two of the world’s best scientific universities, a Master’s in Natural Sciences from the UK’s University of Cambridge, and a PhD from M.I.T., partly directed by a famous Nobel laureate in physics. Rameshrao Narayan PhD and Alex Hankey PhD are the authors of this extraordinary text. As a young vet from Bangalore, Rameshrao Narayan refused to accept a Jyotishi’s warnings of a nearly fatal accident. Over the next three years, as he lay in bed recovering, he learned India’s ancient system of Jyotisha astrology. As luck would have it, Professor Alex Hankey, who directs PhD research at the S-VYASA Yoga University, met Rameshrao and agreed to become his PhD guide on the very day that he joined the university. The book is an outgrowth of Rameshrao’s insights and PhD research combined with Alex’s scientific skills. It tells a simple story: first experiments on vaccination of sheep and goats were compromised by a deadly storm that killed a third of the flock. Resulting data were problematic. Friendship with the Director of the Institute producing veterinary vaccines for all Karnataka led Rameshrao to embark on a new series of experiments, where predictions were made about the success of such production processes. Very clear results were obtained: Jupiter and the Moon supported life, while Rahu, the North Node of the Moon, opposed it. Solar eclipses had even stronger inimical effects than Rahu. Rameshrao’s research was much acclaimed and won him the Best Research in Conference Award at the WAIRCO Conference in Colombo in 2013. Alex developed a theory combining complexity biology and quantum astrophysics that India’s greatest living physicist could not fault. The rest is history, compellingly narrated in the book.

Download or read book Postcolonial Astrology written by Alice Sparkly Kat and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tapping into the political power of magic and astrology for social, community, and personal transformation. In a cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language, Alice Sparkly Kat unmasks the political power of astrology, showing how it can be channeled as a force for collective healing and liberation. Too often, magic and astrology are divorced from their potency and cultural contexts: co-opted by neoliberalism, used as a force of oppression, or distilled beyond recognition into applications that belie their individual and collective power. By looking at the symbolic and etymological histories of the sun, moon, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, we can trace and understand the politics of magic--and challenge our own practices, interrogate our truths, and reshape our institutions to build better frameworks for communities of care. Fearless, radical, and fresh, Sparkly Kat's Postcolonial Astrology ushers in a new wave of astrology revival, refusing to apologize for its magickism and connecting its power to the spirituality and politics we need now. Intersectional, inclusive, and geared towards queer and POC communities, it uses our historical and collective constructs of the planets, sun, and moon to re-chart our subconscious history, redefine the body in the world, and assert our politics of the personal, in astrology and all things.

Download or read book Kepler s Cosmological Synthesis written by Patrick J. Boner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cosmology of Johannes Kepler remains a mystery. On the one hand, Kepler’s speculations on spiritual faculties are seen as the remnants of Renaissance philosophy. On the other, his comparison of the cosmos to a clock summons the mechanical metaphor that shaped modern science. This book explores the inseparable connections between Kepler’s vitalistic views and his more enduring accomplishments in astronomy. The key argument is that Kepler’s ‘celestial biology’ served as a bridge between his revolutionary astronomy and other ‘less scientific’ interests, particularly astrology. Kepler's Cosmological Synthesis sheds new light on one of the foundational figures of the Scientific Revolution. By uncovering a new form of coherence in Kepler’s world picture, it traces the unlikely intersections of mechanism and vitalism that transformed the fabric of the heavens.
