ASTROLOGY OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
bridges the deep divide between astrology and modern science. It
represents a major breakthrough and an exceptional achievement, as this
book is a synthesis of the only rigorous scientific study of astrology
conducted by a high profile scientist who spent 40 years of her life
investigating astrology. After finding fault with today's scientists,
who with contempt and prejudice have refused to put astrology to the
test, Dr. Suzel Fuzeau-Braesch decided to conduct her own investigation
to either confirm or discredit astrology.
After studying the
work of ancient astrologers and contemporary researchers, as well as
modern statisticians and biologists, she undertook an original research
program that has extended the boundaries of our understanding of
astrology and science.
Most intriguingly, Fuzeau-Braesch
examined the characteristics of purebred dogs and cloned cows – and, to
the dismay of skeptics, found that some astrological tools and concepts
can be confirmed by hard science. She discovered that beyond the
longstanding errors, blind spots, and confused thinking inherent in
most astrological techniques lies a real and still unexplained
interaction between personality and planets. Throughout her personal
and professional journeys, Fuzeau-Braesch has charted a path for those
who find value in interdisciplinary studies that are based on true
science, rather than personal or professional biases or magical
thinking. Her wide ranging work is a thoughtful step toward creating a
new kind of scientific thinking, one that will appeal to readers with a
profound curiosity about the mysteries of our
universe..
