Some words of astrologer Bernadette Brady have remained in my memory long after reading them, in Gary Phillipson's book Astrology in the Year Zero (published 2000). This a book of interviews with astrologers and researchers into astrology, edited and compiled by Gary Phillipson.
Bernadette Brady M.A. is a professional consulting and teaching astrologer who lives in Bristol, UK. She holds a Master's Degree in Culture Astronomy and Astrology from Bath Spa University, UK . In September, 2006 she was honoured by the Astrological Association of Great Britain and awarded the prestigious Charles Harvey Award for "exceptional service to astrology".
A microbiologist at the time, Ms Brady came to astrology via her attempts to disprove it. There's a report of an interview with Ms Brady by Gary Phillipson at Skyscript. Her own website is HERE.
Bernadette Brady referred to the world that rejects astrology as "Flatland"; and the fable Flatland written by Edwin Abbot provides an excellent way of thinking about this issue. In Edwin Abbot's tale, beings that exist in two dimensions (as lines, circles, squares and so on) find their world being intruded upon by three-dimensional beings. These intrusions are incomprehensible; as a sphere passes through Flatland, for instance, it appears to the inhabitants as a circle that expands, shrinks and then disappears altogether. Their ability to make sense of the world is limited by the structure their minds impose upon experience.(page 195)
