Astrology is the oldest of the occult sciences, and it has had an
unshakeable hold on the human mind for centuries. Universities,
such as Oxford and the Sorbonne, offer courses on it. In THE FATED
SKY Benson Bobrick gives us a fascinating history of the discipline
that Ralph Waldo Emerson called 'astronomy brought down to earth
and applied to the affairs of men.' Notable Greeks and Romans
fervently believed in astrology. St. Augustine condemned it, but
St. Thomas Aquinas thought astrology not incompatible with
Christian faith. Shakespeare accepted it, and when Edmund Halley
disparaged astrology, Isaac Newton said to him, 'I, sir, have
studied the subject, and you have not.' All the great Renaissance
astronomers believed in the influence of the stars and planets over
human affairs. In more recent times, Winston Churchill, Charles de
Gaulle and Ronald Reagan consulted astrologers. As Carl Jung
predicted, astrology is again a subject of serious study, and now
Benson Bobrick has written the first complete history of the
world's oldest subject.
