Old Grecian people have defined the word astronomy which connotes a portion of whole knowledge
of logical study of astrology long acquired. After this definition, the astronomers have worked
most hard to explore the mechanism of celestial bodies they observed.
On the other hand, the
astrologers are busy for seeking the fortune telling arts that are mainly technical items on
fit-and-fail of prospect guessed. Thus the astrologers have been innocent on the logical study
on the reason to what extent and with what mechanism the human on earth have had to suffer
the influence of celestial bodies they examined.
After the era of Grecian logical debates, those era of many series are found; the era of Roma
in much of religious atmosphere, the middle dark ages from the fourth through tenth century
in much of spiritual atmosphere, the mechanical civilization age in the eighteenth century
and the electrical civilization age in the twentieth century followed. During those long period
of years, the astronomers have been working to explore the logical research on the structure
involved in either the individual heavenly body or the construction of whole scale of the sky
with the aid of the law of elliptical orbit of planet developed by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)
,
the law of universal gravitation developed by Isaac Newton (1643-1727) and the general
theory of relativity developed by Albert Einstein (1879-1955) respectively applied. The most
astrologers, however, were attracted either in the technology of computer electronics on the
calculation of charts in the fortune telling arts, or the statistical analysis made on the fit
examples of prediction performed by the astrology such as reported by this author in 1975
in AFA Bulletin on the aircraft disasters examined.
On the other hand, the most astrologers
have attracted only a little on the logical research in the exploration of elemental items
such as the reason why the human suffers from the influence of stars incurred. Astrology has come at first and astronomy has followed next to the astrology in the historical
sequence recorded. Partial reason on an unduly charge from the astronomers that entitled
the astrology to be a foolish daughter of astronomy will be in the undeveloped attitude of the
most of astrologers in the research confronted. As the most astrologers are interested in an
immediate problem in the fortune telling technique, they are not serious on either the reports
of Kolisko of Germany and Kollerstrom of the Great Britain for the reaction of metal on earth
with the movement of heavenly bodies
or a proposal
of this author placed in the AFA Bulletin Today’s Astrologers May 2001.
These few reports of
logical researches have seldom accepted by public.
In the study of astronomy, we can employ the light, gravity, radio waves and X rays of the
tools supported by the physical science. In astrology, there is no tool to explore the reason
of reaction of the metal on earth with the movement of planets in the sky observed. It has been a durable discussion of people that many records from many places of
the world during several ten hundred years on the nice fits of prediction made by
astrology should be the most sufficient evidences. Of course, there will be no reason
to ask the prediction if we could not expect a nice fit of the art tried. And still we
need to know the mechanism of fit to improve the quality of fit of prediction that
had been left in the hands of practitioners too much relied. Any art needs the help
of a skilled practitioner who will become active on hand the proper knowledge of
mechanism of art operated.
