Do You Believe in Astrology?
In his book Signs of Success, astrologer Steven Weiss says, "The question 'Do you believe in astrology?' is like asking someone if they believe in art."I agree. Picture a no-nonsense physicist gazing at a Kandinsky painting, with its teeming blobs of mad color and exuberant shapes, and declaring it to be a superstitious eruption of delusion that's not based on a logical understanding of the world. Like Kandinsky's perspective, astrology at its best roots us in the poetic language of the soul, and isn't blindly submissive to the values of the rational ego. It's here to liberate our imaginations and encourage us to think less literally and to visualize life as a mythic quest. * (excerpted from the revised and expanded edition of Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia) |
