Do yourself a favor and look up a brief history on the science of astrology. You might be surprised at the amount of direct observation that was made and recorded, both on the part of stars and planets and human behavior. Of course there were elements spun out of whole cloth from time to time. Fact is, they were able to make some decent predictions, not unlike the predictions we can make to this day r.e. PMS.
"You might be surprised at the amount of direct observation that was made and recorded, both on the part of stars and planets and human behavior."
But it was all BS. They weren't really observing any forces.
"Of course there were elements spun out of whole cloth from time to time."
Most of the time.
"Fact is, they were able to make some decent predictions, not unlike the predictions we can make to this day r.e. PMS."
They only made *decent* predictions when they made very very vague ones. And what predictions did they make regarding PMS.? This aught to be good.
