Theory of astrology - how does it work?
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2016 7:04 pm
When the skeptics attack astrology, they often complain that there is no mechanism to explain how astrology is supposed to work. Such a mechanism, which could be acceptable by science, is presented here:

However there are also non-scientific or metaphysical explanations, which are interesting. First of all there is a mechanism explained by celebrated astronomer and astrologer Tycho Brahe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe). He said: "Man is not what he is, because he was born at a specific time and on a specific place. Instead he was born on a specific place and at a specific time, because he already was, what he is." What Tycho Brahe really says here, is that a human being exists before he or she is born as an angels in the sky, and this angel chooses to incarnate in the flesh with a horoscope that mathches its character.
This theory is further evolved in the books written by Michael Newton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_of_Souls). Michael Newton (and his followers) hypntise their clients not only to remember their previous incarnations, but also to remember their existence between lives. According to his books there is a union between the spirit (= the angel) and the body (= the flesh), when an incarnation happens. The angel has its character, and the body has its character. The difference between the spirit and the flesh is that while the flesh shall perish one day, the spirit is eternal.
In the book "The Jesus Mysteries" (http://www.amazon.com/The-Jesus-Mysteri ... 0609807986) the idea of a dualty between body and sould is also presented. According to this book, body and soul are like twins or siblings. And it is a sad moment, when they separate, i.e. when the body dies. If you have tried to be hypnotized to remember a past life, you will probably have experienced that it was very emotional - normally I never cry, but I sure did when I relived a past life for the first time.
I shall explain what this idea has to do with astrology in my next comment.
