In your consciousness, or in a deeper feeling, you will still feel that astrology may have a certain value. and fun.

I would like to emphasize to you that thirty-five years ago, when I began studying astrology and conducting experiments, I shared your cautious attitude and skepticism. In fact, to this day, I still have reservations about the conclusions and practical applications of many astrological works, and I also have reservations about some common practices of using astrology to predict the future or do simple analysis. With a skeptical attitude. Decades ago, I was so angry that I threw away some astrology books and thought I would never waste time on this discouraging subject again, but I couldn't resist the temptation to come back and review it again and again.

In fact, Professor Feyerabend has an academic background in astronomy, physics and philosophy, and is a very controversial person because he criticizedCommenting on the limitations of modern science and its "totalitarian, fame-seeking worldview," he wrote in his 1988 book Against Method: "We must prevent scientists from taking over the entire education system. , preventing them from teaching us so-called “facts, and from inculcating that science is the only way to think. They fail to consider how many mysteries the modern world has to offer.” (p. 168) In the 1999 book Knowledge, Science, and Relativity In "Knowledge, Science and Relativism", he points out how "science" gains media attention by punishing heretics, exaggerating its achievements and benefits, and discrediting and questioning other fields of study (such as astrology and other spiritual healing methods). As a result, it has gradually become a modern belief and the only ultimate authority in the world today. The following passage is also quoted from the above-mentioned work, describing the role of science in the modern education system. Readers are invited to think about it:
