by Faith and Knowledge
The question is misleading. In the case of astrology, believing does not necessarily entail affirming its veracity but instead relying on faith to uphold something unknown. In such circumstances, belief serves as a means to gain solace amidst uncertainty.
The term ‘astrology’ or ‘horoscope’ holds a particular mystery that attracts many individuals due to their unspoken fears. It is as if the unexplained nature of astrology is a source of interest for those seeking an optimistic prediction that would potentially redeem them from their existential emptiness or the awe of the unknown.
Quite different is the case of faith sustained by knowledge or direct experience. In this scenario, faith transforms into a revelation, granting access to a truth that imposes itself with such compelling evidence that it permanently eliminates the darkness of ignorance. In such circumstances, faith operates as an inward support system founded on the pillars of spiritual reality.
In the realm of astrological thought, the belief in the direct influence of stars and planets on an individual’s fate appears to be in apparent disagreement with the established scientific evidence. Approaching astrology in a fideistic sense while acknowledging that current science cannot accept conclusions not based on its thinking paradigms may lead to a superstitious application of astrology. This is due to a lack of awareness of its patterns.
On the contrary, astrology represents a symbolic science that bridges the apparent reality and the conscious interpreter. This enables individuals to live by the principles of universal harmony, thereby unifying faith and knowledge in a cosmic embrace. By adopting this perspective, astrology transcends being a mere belief system and becomes an integral part of individual existence.
