Below are some frequently asked questions people put to me. If your question is not answered here, please send me an email, and I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks. Peter.

Can you prove astrology?
Yes definitely: you are the living proof of astrology. If you can provide your exact time place and date of birth, the resulting horoscope will provide an in-depth and very accurate picture of your personality and life. The principles of astrology pervade all life on this planet, and there is no way you can be anything other than what is written in your accurately timed horoscope.
The asking of this question suggests that you think science is of a higher order than astrology, and that scientific proof is the final arbiter of whether something has validity. In the context of this age where materialism is the dominant paradigm, it is understandable that you would ask this question. In this age everything has been reduced to materialism. Science is the new religion. However science is in fact a sub-set of astrology, and astrology is the mother of all sciences.
A more intelligent question would be: Can you disprove astrology? No, not if you are honest. No honest person could deny the truths revealed by their accurately timed horoscope. You will find that the truths revealed by your horoscope are quite awesome (in the true sense of the word). And an accurate birth time is required in order to construct an accurate horoscope. Without an accurate time of birth many of the basics are lost.
However you cannot prove or disprove astrology if you harbour a prejudice against it. To be prejudiced means you have pre-judged. There is no honesty in pre-judgement if you are seeking to find the truth.

Will astrology work if I don’t believe in it – in other words will you be able to interpret my horoscope if I don’t believe in astrology?
Yes astrology will ‘work’ whether or not you believe in it. Your belief systems have no bearing on the truth, and astrology reveals the truth. It cannot be otherwise. The more important question is whether or not you will really be able to listen to your interpretation if you do not believe in astrology? If not believing means you are prejudiced against astrology then your inbuilt defences will filter out the truth as revealed by the horoscope.
Your asking the question suggests that you do in fact consider astrology to have some validity, otherwise you would not bother with the question at all. It is common for people to ask this question who are a little scared of what their horoscope might reveal, and are ready to use their non-belief as a way out in case they don’t like what they hear.

Do you (the astrologer) really believe in astrology?
This question only makes sense if you think astrology is some form of religion. It is not a religion, merely a way of describing life and how it is structured.
My question to you is: Do you believe in the chair you are sitting on? It doesn’t really make sense; you use the chair because it provides a function which satisfies your need to rest you legs. But I doubt that you worship the chair! In the same way your question about whether I believe in astrology does not make sense. I use astrology because it works, by which I mean it is an amazing tool for understanding the complex nature of human beings, and for understanding the complex interplay of natural cycles as they operate on an individual and a collective level. I certainly do not use astrology as a religion or worship it or use it as the total answer to eternal salvation.

Is astrology a religion?
Definitely not. As mentioned above, is an amazing tool for understanding the complex nature of human beings, and for understanding the complex interplay of natural cycles as they operate on an individual and a collective level. However it is only a tool – a tool which describes the underlying nature of reality. Astrology can be used by atheists, Christians, Hindus, Moslems, Buddhists, and those which do not believe in anything, one way or the other. Some see astrology as ‘revealed truth’. But is does not offer a prescriptive answer to eternal salvation. It does not say which prophet or messiah to believe in. It does not offer prayers or codes of action which would lead you to God. It is simply a tool, albeit an extraordinary tool.

Why do astrologers use the birth horoscope and not the conception horoscope?
The horoscope is a ‘cosmic snapshot’ of the birth of the individual person. While still in the mother’s womb the baby is very much part of the mother’s body. The important moment is when this connection is completely severed in a physical sense. At this moment the baby is completely independent of the mother’s body. The horoscope is drawn up for the moment the cord is cut and the baby draws its first breath.

It is true that there are some astrologers who do horoscopes for the moment of conception. However this moment does not reflect the independent existence of the human being in its own right. There is still a process to undergo before the infant has a life of its own. This is not to deny that such conception horoscopes have meaning, or that human life is present from the moment of conception.
