Product Description

Book Description
Every day millions of individuals consult astrologers, mostly in daily newspapers or on the radio, though some potentates still possess their own personal astrologers. And each year, thousands of new books about astrology are added to the vast numbers that have been previously been published. Is there room for another book? Since this is Sir Patrick Moore writing about a subject which apparently conflicts with the science which underlies his own subject of astronomy, the answer is a resounding "yes".

Setting aside preconceptions, Sir Patrick addresses the problem with his inimitable directness, asking some tough questions: is there a scientific basis for astrology, and does astrology work and if so, why? The answers are revealing and entertaining, and will stimulate lively debate wherever the book is read. Astronomers and astrologers will for once share a common enjoyment in this delightful little book.

From the Author
Is there any justification for regarding astrology as a subject to be taken seriously?

Thousands of new books on astrology are published every year, and it is natural to ask whether there is room for another. My justification is that I am approaching the whole subject in a very definite way, and I am not setting out to write anything in the nature of a comprehensive review.

All I hope to do is to see whether it is possible to answer just two questions:

1 Is there any scientific basis for astrology?
2 Does it work - and if so, why?

I do not propose to stray into the mad domain of flying saucers, little green men from Mars, and visitors from Outer Space; I leave that to others. I will keep to science, not fantasy.

If the answers to my two fundamental questions are (1) No and (2) No, there is no need to waste any more time ...

If the answers are Yes and Yes, or even Maybe and Maybe, we must think again!

Sir Patrick Moore
