ASTROLOGY QUOTES
quotations about astrology
Astrology is of particular interest to the psychologist, since it contains a sort of psychological experience which we call "projected" -- this means that we find the psychological facts as it were in the constellations. This originally gave rise to the idea that these factors derive from the stars, whereas they are merely in a relation of synchronicity with them. I admit that this is a very curious fact which throws a peculiar light on the structure of the human mind.
CARL JUNG
letter to B. V. Raman, Sep. 6, 1947
Astrology is like a weather report; it tells you what conditions you're likely to face in the future. If the weatherman says it's probably going to rain, you bring an umbrella. If you follow that advice, you won't get wet.
LEE GOLDBERG
Mr. Monk and the Blue Flu
The fact that astrology nevertheless yields valid results proves that it is not the apparent positions of the stars which work, but rather the times which are measured or determined by arbitrarily named stellar positions. Time thus proves to be a stream of energy filled with qualities and not, as our philosophy would have it, an abstract concept or precondition of knowledge.
CARL JUNG
letter to B. Baur, Jan. 29, 1934
He is a poor astrologer who pretends by the stars to point out another's destiny, and yet does not know his own.
JAAFAR
attributed, Day's Collacon
Behold what is in the heavens and the earth! But revelations and warnings avail not folk who will not believe.
KORAN
Surah Yunus: 101
Astrology is like gravity. You don't have to believe in it for it to be working in your life.
ZOLAR
Zolar's Starmates
Love it or hate it, astrology isn't going away ... but if you give it one honest look, there's a good chance that you'll want to know more, because it gives you a feeling that you have the inside scoop--and we all love having the edge on everyone else!
MARK S. HUSSON
Mark's Power Peek
I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical.
ARTHUR C. CLARKE
Without astrology man treads, as it were, in the dim twilight of ignorance.
LUKE DENNIS BROUGHTON
The Elements of Astrology
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy: the mad daughter of a wise mother.
VOLTAIRE
There is something out there. Astrology is like a game of chess with an invisible partner. We set out the board and the rules, make a move, and then find that the pieces are moving themselves, as if by an invisible hand.
NOEL TYL
Astrology Looks at History
The oracles are dumb,
No voice or hideous hum
Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving.
Apollo from his shrine
Can no more divine,
With hollow shriek the steep of Delphos leaving.
No nightly trance or breathed spell,
Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
JOHN MILTON
Hymn
We are merely the stars' tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them.
JOHN WEBSTER
The Duchess of Malfi
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
JOEL 2:28
An Astronomer who denies Astrology, is like a butcher who recognizes the brain but is unaware of its transmission of waves.
AHMED HULUSI
From Friend to Friend
Astrology is like any other superstition: It has no power unless people allow it to direct their lives.
BILL MYERS
"The Haunting"
Astrology is like a map. Like a roadmap, astrology is meant to be a useful tool to help guide you to wherever you want to go.
PILA OF HAWAII

The Stars are a long way off, and their words get somewhat dulled in the message.
BRAM STOKER
"The Gipsy Prophecy"
Astrology is like a gateway drug to a more cosmic world view.
RUBY WARRINGTON
"Zodiac rules: why the fashion world is in the grip of astrology fever", The Evening Standard, November 12, 2015
If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish -- if a little more enlightened, religion would perish.
