A good quote on Astrology

Please don’t miss the post beneath, but I just had to post this quote I ran across today during my study.

“This is the excellent foppery of the world: that when we are sick in fortune — often the surfeits of our own behavior — we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars, as if we were villains on necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion, knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance, drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition on the charge of a star!”

– William Shakespeare

  1. Superstition is not as common now, but we are still ready as ever to evade responsibility for our wrongdoing. These days we blame our environment or our genes or our childhood. I’m as guilty as any other.
