Review : Astrology’s place in the world is not entirely clear: is it a form of scientific study, or a belief system more akin to a religion or philosophy? It is certainly not regarded as a science in the sense that most scientists would use the term today, but if we look back to the original meaning of science – scientia (knowledge) – we do perhaps find a
definition more sympathetic to the realm of astrology. Any thinking man or woman with a thirst for knowledge must surely make some attempt to connect their experience of life with the wider universe – to relate their actions, reactions, emotions, and thought processes to the universe outside them. And this is essentially what astrology does – it provides a way of relating the pattern made by the Sun, Moon, planets and other heavenly bodies to life on Earth, and specifically to our own lives.

Perhaps this does make astrology sound rather like a religion – which is not surprising, considering religion is often seen as a rival to science in attempting to make sense of the nature of life.
