PARAKELSOS
(MD - 1493-1541)
"…For
this as far as astrology is concerned, you have to understand that it knows the whole nature, wisdom and science of stars, in accordance with the way they act wholly in the conception
and composition of man… However, if astrology
becomes completely and in a right manner known, and the planning of horoscopes of children will be based on the different influences, many evils will be avoided arising from
unfavorable constellation."
LOUKIANOS (Author, sophist - 2nd century BC)
"…
the planets are symbolized by the seven strings of the lyre."
JAMES
GAFFAREL
"…this,
is written on wall of the sky."
DANTE (Poet - 1265-1321)
"…I
saw the symbol that follows Taurus and I found my self inside it. Oh praised stars. Oh penetrating light
full
of almighty virtues, to thy I owe all my intellect, whatever it may be. It was born with us, it hides inside us.
He
who is father of the mortal life. When I first tasted the wind of Tuscany I was granted a favor to enter this
wheel
that feeds you and I was given your loci."
GOETHE (Author - 1749-1832)
"I
came to this world on the 28th of August 1749, noon, while the clock was chiming twelve, in Frankfurt.
The
faces
of the stars where favorable. The sun was in the sign of Virgo and was in its peak. Jupiter and Venus
where
looking with a friendly eye, while Mercury wasn't opposing. Saturn and Mars where standing neutral.
Only
the Moon that was growing was objecting all the more, while its planetary time was closing. That's why
it
was opposing my birth that couldn't be competed before this hour would pass. The favorable faces, that
where
later interpreted by astrologers as being very positive, maybe where the cause of this good fortune."
FRANCIS BACON (Philosopher - 1561-1626)
"Nature
and mans inclinations are not characterized unfairly by the dominance of the planets."
TICHO BRACHE (Astronomer - 1546-1601)
"…the stars govern the human fate."
SEFARIAL
"I
should not surprise my readers to know that Flamarion (astronomer) believed truly in the influence of the
stars
and I remember reading an amazing preface of his in a book by Elay Star, when I was studying this
subject
in India."
FIRMICHOS
" THE ASTROLOGERS PRAYER"
"So
that my words will not lack divine grace and will not be affected by the attacks of envious people, I turn to
you,
whoever you are God, you that repeats day by day the quick heavenly rotation, you that perpetuate the
stirring
of the oceanic waters, you that strengthen the earth's solidity with the unmovable strength of its
foundations,
you that refresh with the night sleep the labor of our earthly bodies, you that gives back the
grace
of the sweetest light when our strength is renewed, you that stir the substance of your work with the
beneficial
breath of the winds, you that unleashes with never ending strength the waves of the rivers and
springs,
you that rotate the seasons, unique Governor and Prince of all, unique Emperor and Lord, you that
all
heavenly forces serve you, you that your will is the substance of the perfect work, you that your infallible
laws
grace and govern nature forever, you Father and Mother of everything, you Father and Son, united with
my
self with a cohesive link. To You we raise begging hands, You we worship. Give us your grace to try to
explain
the path of your stars. Your force moves us to interpret correctly. With a pure mind, rid of all earthly
thoughts
and clean of any kind of sin we wrote these books for your Romans."
ARISTOTLE (Philosopher - 384-322 BC)
"…
the heavenly bodies are superhuman, intelligent, fleshless deities."
DIODOROS (Historian - 1st century BC)
"..
every event on the heavens has its meaning, like a part of one eternal divine premeditated plan."
PROCLOS (Philosopher - 410-485 BC)
"…the
most exquisite thing of my age is the tradition of the Chaldaeon that did not only predicted the events
of
common interest but also the life and death of individuals."
PARASCELOS (MD - 1562-1626)
"The
body of a man is his home. The architect that designs it is the astral world. At one time Jupiter is the
carpenter
at another Venus. One time is Taurus the next Orion. Man is the Sun and the Moon, a sky filled
with
stars. The world is a man and the light of the Sun and the stars is his body."
LORD BACON (philosopher - 1561-1626)
"There
is no inevitable force in the stars."
CLAUDIUS PTOLEMAEOS (Astronomer - 108-160)
"One capable individual that knows the nature of the stars has the ability to
avert many of their results and to
prepare
itself for their future effects."
"…the wise govern
their stars."
MOHAMED
"Why
do you disbelieve the signs of God, while you are their witness?"
HIPPOCRATES (MD - 406-377 BC)
"… it is unthinkable to be a doctor without knowledge of astrology."
CARL YOUNG (26/7/1875 Psychologists)
"Law
of synchronicity: parallel phenomena are probably connected through time rather that cause."
