According to Percy Seymour, it’s an error to confuse serious research into
astrology with the cheap jack astrological columns in the press, and more
foolish still to believe that astrologers can predict future events. His
contention that there may, nevertheless, be some grain of truth in astrology
takes him ranging over wide areas, from biological clocks to magnetism,
gravitation to animal navigation. Whether it’s worth following these divagations
will depend whether you believe his arguments in the introduction. Scientific
Basis of Astrology is published by Foulsham, £ 9.99, ISBN 057202181X.
