"The inner structure of astrology cannot be measured or checked as neither can be a painting or a poem. It cannot be proven nor statistically verified. Therefore the astrological view is nowadays said to not be ‘true’. Another question is whether at some time this view would ‘become true’. That would require a change of the inner optic which in our time is shaped by the scientific worldview.
We tend to see fate as happening in a linear way. Probably we come closer to its essence when we see it as a ring or sphere that moves around a center point. That corresponds not only to the great cycles that we observe in the universe but also to the immutability of the law ‘that was your calling’. It points to a stable center."
Ernst Jünger ‘An der Zeitmauer’ (Thoughts of a non-astrologer on astrology), 1959
