I, Gor-Lak, doth officially proclaim a challenge.
As all diligent readers know, Tanster has been doing a deep dive into Astrology. If reality actually has more than the only four dimensions that we can perceive with our limited senses, then how would we ever be able to observe them? Science currently predicts there be as many as 11 dimensions. They may never be able to prove it because we can’t perceive them.
What effect are the these unseen dimensions having on us? Does it have something to do with the way gravity effects us? If so, we me never really be able to understand gravity.
The closest we could come to any kind of science of these other, unperceivable, dimensions would be unverifiable and therefore not considered a real science. This is what Astrology claims to be. What does the sunlight do to us in these other dimensions that we can’t directly perceive? Is its other dimensional properties interacting with our other dimensional properties having an effect on us here in the four dimension we can perceive? Are we fish caught in the wake of a boat that we are never going to see or understand? Do fish have these thoughts?
Tanster’s immersion into Astrology, and the expression of her findings on her blog, has given the readers an excellent opportunity to look at Astrology as an experiment. The only we can know if it is an accurate science is to observe whether its wholly unverifiable predictions actually came true.
Doing a close examination of the natal chart of Napoleon Bonaparte, Tanster found that the predictions of Astrology were right on the nose. She has also presented her own chart and now she’s focusing on Elvis Costello’s.
Tanster uses the widely accepted tools of those who practice Astrology to analyze a chart. So far, nothing has been inconsistent.
Okay, so let’s do another experiment. Let’s pick someone whose basic bio is pretty well known, thanks to a compliant media. I say, let’s look at the chart of friend of the blog, Matt Lauer.
We all know the basics. He was a big media personality. His fake TV persona was beloved. He wasn’t the greatest neighbor.
Those are the agreed upon facts about Matt Lauer. So then what does his natal chart say? It should be interesting to see where his Sun, Jupiter and Mercury are.
I hereby challenge Tanster to take a look.
