About Astrology

The gravitic effects of planets on the solar wind, their effect on the magnetosphere, its resonance in the ionosphere and how that effects human affect exist regardless of personal belief. 

Pagan legends did not create astrology. There are no pagan gods. It is the other way around. The gods were created based on how planets influence personality. The fun part is that the Canaanite gods, which were the template for the Jewish God and Greek gods (El/Kronos and Zeus/YHWH), as well as the related myths and scriptures, evolved from these observations. Greek and Medieval philosophy (Aristotelian, Stoic, Thomist) adjusted the myths, but did not reject astrology. 

While it would be easy to ignore the data as outside of science, that would be based on values, not reason.

Even Santa bares examination. The Santa myth is the fusion of the legend of St. Nicholas, who provided doweries so poor couples could marry and the Old God - or Holly King - whose passing at the Winter Solstice is based on both astronomy and a festival used to cope with seasonal affective (mood) disorders. Are you some kind of Scientologist who believes psychiatry is a scam?

The reason alcoholism has such prevalence is as a cure for these reactions, which is why AA has extra meetings in December.
