InPresence 0075: Why Astrology Endures

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he reviews scientific studies related to astrology. Conventional astrology seems to have little empirical support. However, Michel Guaquelin in France has found significant statistical correlations relating to planetary relationships in natal charts. This work was actually replicated by the hostile CSICOP organization. Jeff discusses his relationship with the inventor, cosmologist, and astrologer, Arthur M. Young. He also brings in ideas from sociologist Theodore Roszak.
