More seriously, reiki has at least got the placebo effect going for it.
Astrology has more of the attributes of religion or mythology really: any value it has is pretty indirect.
At that time I was teaching big seminars and everytime there were 2-4 people asking me what I think of astrology. I would have loved to say (love the word afew used) piffle! But somehow I felt it was a bad idea. So I started learning astrology to have the prove that it is piffle. Well, I am still learning and am still fascinated by it. However, I would never use astrology to predict the future or make investments with it. :-)
What did learning astrology give me?
It teached me to think in visual, symbolic, 3D, network-thinking. Something that opened up a new world to me.
It helped me to look at my self. I was always fascinated by the question who am I? But found it difficult to think about that. Astrology helped to take on puzzle piece at a time, like for example looking at the combination of Mars in the chart. Then look it up and as is what they say true about me. If I did feel it was not true, I would ask but then how am I different from that. And so piece by piece I become more aware of my strengths and weaknesses.
And I also found after a one year course of psycholocical tests at the University, that a astrology is able to give just as good a profile of a person as do some of the tests. Now you can interpret that however you want to. :-)
Okay, this just the short version.
I never had much use for the tools, but I always found the ideas about mind levels useful. keep to the Fen Causeway
You remember who you took the course with?
