Because science cannot explain the physics of how the planets influence a person’s character or destiny, the entire field of astrology is commonly exposed to ridicule and minimised or ignored in mainstream educated thought.
This dilemma led Michelle to research ‘astrology & science’ for the graduate paper of her astrology studies. After writing a 15,000 word thesis on what she discovered, Michelle graduated in 2003. Eventually the thesis led to a conference paper, ‘Synchronicity, Science or Something Else? How Does Astrology Work?’, that she presented to astrologers at the 16th FAA International Astrology Conference in Melbourne in 2006.
The paper offers 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 academics are also discussed.
The PDF (coming soon) is a large extract from the conference paper.
