Astrology and Psychology: A Dialogue on the 21st Century shows how to articulate a modern psychological astrology with contemporary scientific theories and their demands for method and validation.Here astrology is no longer a mere reflection of traditional doctrines of the past, but a knowledge system with ambitions to become a science in the future. The basic principles of astrology are revised and reinterpreted with new concepts. A biological foundation is pursued. Astrology now makes much more sense. This book also reviews several experimental studies on astrology conducted by scientists, pointing out their strengths and flaws. The arguments skeptics set forth against astrology are duly examined with impartiality and without bias, and the author sometimes even agree with them, if their criticism is sound and honest. The astrological phenomenon, puzzling and strange as it may appear to modern minds, is described and defined with clarity and simplicity, with no references to supernatural forces or alike. The reader will be able to finally understand why astrology works the way it works and why it can't be called a pseudoscience.
