The essential purpose of astrology is not so much to tell us what we will meet on our road, as it is to suggest how to meet it – and the basic reason for the meeting.

There is a philosophy that says that if something is unobservable -- unobservable in principle -- it is not part of science.

By that standard, most of the universe has no scientific reality -- it's just a figment of our imaginations. View quote

I consider astrology as a perfect science. But, I also believe what has to happen cannot be changed. Then what's the use? When you know, you worry about it. That why I never consult any astrologer. Of course, many of them come to me. But, no one can say I invited him or asked any questions. But when I believe it's a science, how can I deny it? View quote
