Description: Shares modern biological studies offering evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet Explores the early practice of astrometeorology revealing the links between the solar system weather and climate over large spans of time Looks at the history philosophy and methodologies of astrology as well as its potential future applications in medicine and the social sciences Our ancient ancestors recorded the rhythms of the Sun Moon planets and stars correlating these rhythms with weather plant growth and animal and human behaviors. From these early geocosmic recordings were born calendars astronomy and astrology. While astrology is now mostly viewed as subjective fortune - telling Bruce Scofield argues that astrology is not only a practice but also a science specifically a form of systems science - - a set of techniques for mapping and analyzing self - organizing systems. Providing clear evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet Scofield shares modern biological and climatological studies on the effects of Earth's rotation the Sun the Moon and the rhythms of light gravity magnetism and solar radiation on terrestrial processes. He explores the early practice of astrometeorology a method of weather forecasting used from ancient times into the Renaissance revealing the links between the solar system weather and climate over large spans of time. He shares his own studies on the correlations between Saturn's position and terrestrial weather as well as presenting a wealth of evidence on astrological effects and the theories and mechanics behind them. Examining the history of astrology he looks at its earliest foundations in Mesopotamia and its development by the classical Greeks into a mathematically informed body of knowledge. He explores the decline and marginalization of astrology during the Scientific Revolution of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment when astrology was transformed from a credible science to a controversial practice after being attacked by the Church and then abandoned by experimental scientists. Presenting a broad look at how the cosmic environment shapes nature the author shows how the practice and natural science of astrology can expand its applications in modern society in such varied fields as medicine history and sociology.
