Dalia, I have to disagree with you post of 05 Apr 06 - 07:44 AM ( copied below)


Einstein was speaking of the weather, a chaotic system-ie one which will proceed in different ways depending on the exact conditions, but we can make certain forecasts with very limited infomation, but we need more infomation ( and processing power ) to do more.

If we say the weather will be the same tomorrow as it is today,we have a 50% chance of being right*, At the end of the second world war, forecasts were about 60% correct, and now are about 75-80% correct.

If astrology is a chaotic system, with a huge number of factors, then it should still be open to analysis. It may not be easy to do, but if the influences are real, they can be seperated and understood, to an extent, anyway.


* These are figures for Britian. I don't know about places with climate, rather than weather...



To be sure, when the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large, scientific method in most cases fails us. One need only think of the weather, in which case prediction even for a few days ahead is impossible....Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature..." (Einstein)

This is why, to date, science has always failed as a method of studying and investigating astrology. The scientific method cannot do justice to the seemingly endless number of complex factors at work in an astrological natal chart - some conscious and expressed (at least to some extent), others unconscious, latent, unexpressed.
