Ancient astrology handed down to the present day in many ways seems illogical, but there are those in the modern filed of science who are beginning to rethink their bias and now seem to be leaning toward a belief based upon concrete facts.
It was viewed in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, according to Proctor, that the people of that day viewed their king as the representative of all the people, and hence as a mediator between them and the gods.
The astrologer priest in the ancient world held the power of corporate decision making. Under the theory that what was good for the king was good for the people, the Egyptians made no decisions, according to Proctor, whether for domestic or foreign policy unless the astrological signs so dictated.
Michel Gauquelin describes in his book "The Scientific Basis for Astrology", some of the effects of the motions of the sun and moon upon terrestrial phenomena. Apart from such obvious effects as the seasons, the growth of vegetation and the tides, he deals with the less apparent but equally powerful effects of the eleven-year cycle of sunspots on our flora, fauna, and inhabitants.
As sunspots occur on the face of the sun from time to time they develop, and then disappear. Accordingly, as they do, the sun spews up enormous clouds of gas, of incandescent light which then whips up whirlwinds, magnetic in nature.
Rotating on its axis in a twenty-seven-day cycle, the sun periodically aims these spots and eruptions directly at the earth. The result is an increased projection of waves and particles toward the earth. In the words of Gauquelin, "we terrestrials can regard ourselves as living in the interior of the sun."
Sunspot activity has been related to such different phenomena as the number of icebergs in the North Atlantic, the level of water in lakes, the concentric rings taken by the Hudson's Bay Company. Even the quality of wines in Burgundy is affected, excellent vintages corresponding to periods of maximum solar activity.
