Right.
The current royal family believe in homeopathy.
Telling me that this is something that British monarchs have, or do, believe in is an indication to me that it's likely to be rubbish, rather than the reverse.
Then how do you know that any of it is true? If, as you say, there is no way of getting proof or evidence, no way of telling if people are happier or more successful as a result of it, no way of measuring how effective it is, then how do you know it has any effect at all?
Put it this way: if there was no truth to the brand of astrology you practise whatsoever, what difference would you expect that to make to your clients? If none, then surely the obvious conclusion is that there is no truth to it? If you do expect to see a difference, then that difference should be observable and some evidence of that difference should therefore be obtainable.
My knowledge and belief comes from my own experiences as an astrologer. That's it. I do not care if anyone believes me or not - it is enough for me that I know what I know and I am just fine with that too.
Truth is something that is also personal. How can you prove the existence of love, or hate, or if a person is really happy or sad? How can you measure such things?
We know these things exist, though we cannot see them. Would you ask a person to "prove" that they "love" another person. How to do that? How to measure that?
These are metaphysical areas that even skeptics would do well to avoid because you will never be able to handle "natal astrology" in your hands and say see, "It is true."
All I know is that mathematical forces of angles and configurations have power in the world, as Galileo (an astrologer) Kepler (another astrologer) and Benjamin Franklin (another astrologer) knew existed. There is a mystical force operating in the world, and its language is mathematics.
Astrology is
based on the cycles of mathematics. Algebra, Geometry, etc., were invented by astrologers. These are used to account for the many variables of astronomical motion relative to the earth. Variable mathematics is power, and knowledge of the potentials of the future, and of the past and present.
People will believe what they want. Some will swear by it, others will say it works but are stumped, and others say bull. All this depends on their own believe systems, biases, predetermined attitudes, positions, etc., etc. I mean, scientists once believed that the human body could not withstand train travel at 35 mph.
Scientists also once believed that rocks did not fall from space. Scientists and skeptics also believed that man would never achieve orbit in space. Scientists also believed that the world was once flat, not round. But who knew?
