Astrology is not a religion. Doctrines are to be tested in practice and its results analyzed by an active brain, not meant to be followed blindly as if they were some safety net for our fear of making mistakes or our reluctance to see things as they are. Authorities are fallible, follow their doctrines blindly and you will have the privilege of repeating their mistakes. William Lilly knew that when he called himself a "student of astrology". Why the hell do we insist in treating his writings as some gospel from the god of astrology?
