A Psychologist Criticizes Astrology
1rst edition, 1989 - 4th Printing, 2003

A book that no other scientist either bothered (or dared) to write. What is the truth about astrology? Does it have any validity? If it does, in what specific ways do stars affect our lives? If it is invalid, why has it become so popular in our times? Is there a "scientific" astrology? Can astrologists predict future events such as a war, an economic crisis, or even the… publication of a book that criticizes them? These are the questions that this book answers. Written by a Doctor of psychology and a Doctor of Astronomy, it explores and illuminates these questions in a definitive and scientifically accurate way. It examines in detail the specific linguistic patterns used by astrologists and it exposes the fraud by presenting unquestionable scientific data that reveal astrology's inaccuracies.
A CHALLENGING AND INTELLIGENT BOOK.
