Now, there’s a topic for endless discussion. Calvin sometimes wonders about predestination (as did an older, less-entertaining Calvin — a theologian — before him….). But is the younger Calvin equating astrology with predestination today?
Is astrology a religion? Is it a substitute for religion? Is it a cult? Is it a pseudoscience? Does it involve predestination or just signs of things to come? Some people practice astrology in addition to a particular religion — how do they reconcile the two? When it comes to questions about astrology, I guess the sky’s the limit.
The main advantage of starting a discussion is that one gets to ask the questions, rather than having to try to come up with the answers.
When seeking answers, it’s best to begin by researching what some authoritative sources have to say on the subject:
Peanuts (1969)
Dilbert (1990)
“I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical.” —Arthur C. Clarke
“Who needs astrology? The wise man gets by on fortune cookies.” —Edward Abbey
