What great minds have said about Astrology
“A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with one’s individual karma. The horoscope is a challenging portrait revealing one’s unalterable past, and probable future results. The message boldly blazoned across the heavens at the moment of birth is not meant to emphasize fate – but to arouse our will to action.”
— Swami Sri Yukteshwar, Paramahamsa Yogananda
“There is an appointed Time for Everything, and a Time for every Purpose under the Heavens.”
— Ecclesiastes III :
“A physician without a thorough knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician.”
— Hippocrates
“The Heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech. Night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the Earth, their words to the end of the World.”
— Psalm 19
“Let there be Lights in the firmament of the Heavens, to divide the Day from the Night; and let them be for Signs, and for Seasons, and for Days, and Years.”
— Genesis I: 14-15
“This world is inescapably linked to the motions of the worlds above. All power in this world is ruled by these motions.”
— Aristotle
