N CRYSTALL IZATION.So many e minent men
,
eminent
both in sc ience andl i terature
,
have been secret ly interested in astrologyoflate years
,
that we may not unreasonably expect before
long a public movement toward a scienti fic investigationo
f the observed facts in connect ion with i t . And then w
e may hope that the ordinary man wi l l not burstint
o
pealsof l aughter at the very mention of the word astrology as he does today
.
There are several e lem ents which mil i tate against theser iou s study o f astrology
.
Th e first and greatest i s thea lmost utter lack in th is day
o
f anything approaching ascienti fic knowledge of mind and emot ion . Astrologypresumest

And thi s confusionof knowledgehas
introduced into

Ihave never seen
a sc int i l lao
f ev idence to suppose that the pos i t ions of the p lanets in any way determine human event
s
exceptin determin in g the crystal li zationof human character at b irth
.
But in at tempt ing to account for events in a
l i fe, no dist inct ion has been made between t
hose eventswhi ch are the resul tof character and those which comefrom quite di f ferent causes
.
F
o
r instance,
an astrologerforetel ls that a chi ld should d ie

f knowing that someone
would fish h imo
u
t
before he wasdrowned.
A cer tain horoscope indicated the character for a lawyer
,
who
at a certain periodof
his l i fe would have an inc l inat iontoward female c l ients . If a t t h a t t i m e h e h a d s u c h adist inguished cl ient

Again, many people have d ied v io lent deaths for whic

Ijudge that Ptolemy hi t i t about as Of ten as the government meteorological b ureau today.
His next source of interest came from the fact that astrology was general lyus ed by physic ians
