In recent years, our society has witnessed a resurgence in
astrology that has elevated that durable art form to a level of
popularity it hasn't enjoyed since the eve of western European
Renaissance. In what has thus far been a relatively successful
attempt to cash in on the triumphs of twentieth-centiry science and
technology, contemporary astrologers unashamedly claim far and wide
that their craft is rationally consistent, that it is
scientifically based, and, above all, that "it works."
In The Gemini Syndrome, two professional astronomers have produced
a highly readable and well-referenced response to claims by
astrologers that their theories are scientifically based. The
authors elucidate the glaring internal inconsistencies associated
with many of the basic concepts of "modern" astrology. They trace
the historical development of the celestial "twins" of astronomy
and astrology and leave little doubt concerning the differences,
both historical and modern, between astronomical science and
astrological art-form.
The book's most telling chapters are those dealing with the
empirical evidence concerning the supposed astrological influences.
Culver and Ianna offer the reader what is the most complete summary
of the available data about sun-signs, houses, and aspects. In
every instance the empirical astrologer is found to have no clothes
on
Finally, the oft-stated claim that "astrology works" is
investigated and laid to rest under the debris of more than three
thousand "busted" predictions made by the astrologers themselves,
ranging from the start of World War III to the existence of an
"anti-earth" orbiting on the other side of the sun.
