Is Astrology Taught in the Question: Will astrology be taught in the Stelle school? Answer: If
a person is interested in astrology he may look into
it on his own initiative. There are some drawbacks to the study of astrology.
One is that it often makes people feel less capable of control over their own
lives and destinies than they really have; the tendency is to resign oneself
to living within the perimeter of an astrological sign. Although
it can be show that certain characteristics are prevalent among people born
under a given sign, each individual is quite free to make his
personality whatever he chooses. Channels and tendencies are
opened to us as the planets move on their courses through space—but we
are not bound by these channels. Also, astrological
predictions depend upon subjective interpretations of astrologers who differ widely
as to what is implied by the planets’ positions. In this area, astrology can hardly be called a science, and data from this source
are of questionable value in making important life decisions. Astrology may
continue to be of interest to some people, but its benefits do not justify
including it as formal education in Stelle. (03-1971) |
