Does the secret of our fate really reside in the movement of the stars? If the sales-curve for books on this subject is any indication it looks as if astrology may be staging a comeback. It used to be that reliable horoscopes could be gotten only from professional (and expensive) astrologers. Now manuals and handbooks abound, and even the rankest amateur can chart what the heavens have to say about his personality, love life, inner strength, business prospects, etc. Michel Gauquelin’s contribution to the litera ture of astrology is interesting for several reasons. First, his explanation of what astorogy is all about is reasonably clear. With the help of a few dia grams and a minimum of technical terminology, the uninitiated can learn about astrology to un derstand why Auntie is distressed over her Moon being in Capricorn. Secondlv, his review of the long history of astrology—its practice among the Babylonians, Egyptians, Incas, and Greeks, and its relation to primitive religion and science—helps to explain its tenacious grip upon the imagination of the race. Even today, it slips by unnoticed that our calendar with its months and weeks, our clock with its twelve-hour dial, and some of the words we use to describe qualities of character (“jo vial”, “martial”), reflect the astrological elements in our past. Thirdly, the author, whose creden tials include work in psychology and statistics, has examined the claims of modern astrologers from a scientific ix>int of view, with results that will be of interest to devotees of the daily horoscope. The most significant ingredient in Gauquelin’s book, however, has little to do with daily horo scopes. In a way never dreamed of by astrologers ancient or modern, the matter of astral and cosmic influences on man and his world has caught the attention of the scientist. Consider, for example, the rhythms of the universe: atoms, cells, organ isms, planets, indeed, entire galaxies—all are sub ject to cycles r f occurrence and recurrence which regulate all things, both living and inert. Man too lives bv the rhythm of an internal biological clock mysteriously powered by the day/night cylcle of the earth’s rotation. If man’s internal clock is freed from the 24-hour timekeeper, what happens to the synchronization of his bodily functions—as in t’.ie case of prolonged space tracer’ Or, since it has 1 een established that the impulses which trav el along our nervous system are electrical in na ture, is it not possible that the eleven-year cycle of solar disturbances which affect radio transmis sions could also create disturbances in our own electromagnetic field? And if the radioactive ele ments in X-rays or nuclear fallout can proluce ge netic mutations, how much is really known about the part played by cosmic radiation in the evolu tion and destiny of living creatures? To illustj^ate the points he is trying to make, Gauquelin clescnBes a number of experiments in volving luna^RfiUPsolar influences on things like steam boilers, fiddler crabs, and pregnant women. The book concludes with a brief “who’s who” among the experimenters. Here, then, is a work in which an ancient and occult art and the frontiers of modem science are juxtaposed in a way that leaves the reader with thoughts that are new and strange, and in some ways bewildering. Perhaps more than we realize, the secret of our fate IS tied up with the move ment of the stars. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 4 I ADAMS A member of the Wedgwood Group t ♦ t EMPRESS WHITE, a graceful 19th century design, complements your home whatever your taste.
