The Pope is no stranger to controversy. As Benedict moves towards his Uranus return and Uranus crosses Mercury, he faces a confrontational challenge. He will shock us all.

The Opposition of Saturn (tradition) versus Uranus (vision) is lived out as the atheist campaigner, Richard Dawkins's threatens to have the Pope arrested on his visit to Britain. We have two Aries spoiling for a fight as Uranus enters Aries. [Thanks to astrologer Martin Davis for noticing this.]

The Vatican's newspaper L'Osservatore Romano commented that James Cameron's movie 'Avatar'gets bogged down by a spiritualism linked to the worship of nature. What interested me was the observation that the Pope was known as the Green Pope. Maybe this was what Malachi meant when he prophesied this Papacy was 'De gloriae olivae'... more

Was Kepler a sceptic or an astrologer or both?Johannes Kepler, (1571 -1630) German astrologer, astronomer and mathematician is best known for his Laws of Planetary Motion. Though some claim that his practice of astrology was to 'pay the bills' or that he was a rational sceptic who wished to demolish astrology, new evidence shows that Kepler was a sceptical astrologer who had a deep personal interest in astrology and enhanced astrology by adding 3 new aspects (angles).


Why it is no longer acceptable to say astrology is rubbish on a scientific basis. An unfortunate, chance remark by a well-respected physicist on a BBC TV series that 'astrology was complete rubbish' finally prompted me to set out my position on astrology and science. I complained to the BBC and at least 200 others did as well.

I strongly feel that this remark was unfounded and not based on any research, investigation or experience. This kind of prejudice has no place in an educational science program and the BBC rightly apologised. Since then I have been debating the merits of astrology with a wide range of sceptics. Some have asked intelligent questions and a few 'rational' sceptics have been more inclined to irrational expressions of feelings. Here's my response ...


Philosophers who refused to look through Galileo's telescope Critics of astrology often feel there is no need to examine the evidence or do any empirical study. This is similar to the philosophy professors who refused to look through Galileo's telescope as they feared seeing evidence that would undermine their world-view.


Problems with testing astrological practice under strict scientific methodsA popular myth repeated in websites is that there astrology has failed in 'thousands of tests'. There are plenty of tests that are fundamentally flawed. However, no one has yet cited a scientific test where astrology has not shown positive results.


Why Randi cannot be trusted to be impartial.A sceptic recently suggested that I attempt to claim the million dollar prize offered by James Randi ‘Educational’ Foundation for showing evidence of powers that cannot be explained by known scientific laws. Here's one very good reason why I would not consider it...


How and why astrology became outcast from mainstream thinking. Why isn’t astrology part of the mainstream thought and education? Why are so many, otherwise rational people so irrational in condemning it? Over 500 years astrology moved from being central to the academic system to being outcast from mainstream thinking. It comes down to the history of astrology and how slow astrologers have been to adapt to the crises caused by advances in our knowledge and philosophy. [more ...]


Bias can infect even top scientists and journals.I was taught that the scientific process started with a question which was then researched. Then a hypothesis was constructed and tested with an experiment. The data was then analyzed and a conclusion reached. Many top scientists seem to feel that they can bypass this method in fields like astrology at which they are not experts. How serious is this lapse of professionalism and does this negligence go to the very top?


Sunday Times article on Percy Seymour's new Book Scientific Proof of Astrology.The Sunday Times Science Editor reviews Percy Seymour's book under the heading "The Planets may control your future after all". The heading shows a common misunderstanding of astrology, but the article is very interesting.
