In January 2006 Michelle gave a paper entitled ‘Synchronicity, Science or Something Else? How Does Astrology Work?’ at the 16th FAA International Astrology Conference. The presentation addressed astrology’s general credibility problem and argued for more critical thinking by astrologers into the philosophy of astrology. Her premise is that if astrology is supported by a coherent discourse about what astrology is and how it works, then it’s possible that astrology’s credibility ratings might improve and its benefits be better appreciated.
The paper offered different explanations of how astrology might work, including ideas from diverse fields such as magnetobiology and anthropology and from diverse thinkers such as Gauquelin and Jung. The findings of reputable astrology researchers and the insights of prominent astrology academics were also discussed.
