Alice Morse Earle

Anne Lamott
I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical.
Arthur C. Clarke
Actually, I believe in everything, including astrology and tarot cards. All of it is just another way for people to try and tighten the link to the spirits in our universe. I believe it exists for all people.
Billy Dee Williams
My mom's really into astrology and she's always telling me about the moon cycles and stuff like that.
Borns
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.
Carl Jung
If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence, they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology.
David Hilbert
I took a course on 'Magic, Alchemy, and Astrology' at Mount Holyoke, and it was a whole new awakening for me, a way of thinking about the world primarily in terms of concepts and words rather than mathematical formulas.
Deborah Harkness
It's because finance is so baffling that makes being an economist such a safe option. It nestles down comfortably with psychiatry and astrology as a profession where getting it patently wrong is just not a problem - and also, rather wonderfully, seems to have no adverse affect on their professional standing whatsoever.
Dominic Holland
Linda loves an argument, and I like to engage, too, but she knows that I'm a poet, so I will engage forever. We are in the Chinese astrology of dogs, and we are forever snapping at each other.
Donovan
The way that I see astrology is as a repository of thought and psychology. A system we've created as a culture as way to make things mean things.
Eleanor Catton
Astrology's a moving system that depends on where you're looking at it from on Earth. My horoscope here in London would be completely different to down in New Zealand.
I'm interested in astrology and astronomy.
Emm Gryner
I believe in astrology. I really go off of energy.
Fivio Foreign
Whether the ice caps melt, or expand - whatever happens - the anthropogenic global warming theorists claim it confirms their theory. A perfect example of a pseudo-science like astrology.
Frank Tipler
You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology.
Freddie Mercury
One of the ways by which astrology tricks human brains is via the Barnum effect, which is the process by which individuals take general and vague statements that could apply to anyone and anywhere, and find personal meaning in them.
Gad Saad
Every newspaper feels it must have an astrology column, and even in the Carleton University bookstore this morning, I found books on astrology for sale.
Gerhard Herzberg
I was born during an eclipse. I believe very much in astrology. If you were born on an eclipse it indicates your destiny is chaotic.
Gloria Vanderbilt
When I believed in astrology and numerology, people made fun of me, but today there are so many channels just dedicated to astrology and numerology. I now regret that I didn't start a channel on this. But then, I am happy in life. I don't dwell upon it.
Govinda
Most people today still believe, perhaps unconsciously, in the heliocentric universe every newspaper in the land has a section on astrology, yet few have anything at all on astronomy.

A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician.
If astrology is real, I guess I'm a pretty quintessential Virgo.
I'm a middle child, so I have middle-child syndrome. With a middle child, you always have to take in everything and adjust and maybe compromise a little bit so you're able to see both sides of an issue. I'm also a Leo - I love astrology - so that affected me, just being a lion.
Human knowledge is dark and uncertain; philosophy is dark, astrology is dark, and geometry is dark.
The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable.
I'm a typical Capricorn. I'm hardworking, loyal, sometimes stubborn, and I don't believe in astrology.
Even though I'm super into tarot and astrology, I don't believe in knowing too much about the future.
I believe in a lot of astrology. I believe in aliens... I look up into the stars and I imagine: 'How self-important are we to think that we are the only life-form?'
About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm.
I've studied astrology for many, many years, and I feel like it's an incredibly challenging art.
To the medical man, astrology is invaluable in diagnosing diseases and prescribing a remedy, for it reveals the hidden cause of all ailments.
The first time I got into astrology was being in New York. I was like, 'Oh, this is a real thing here!' Now, I'll Google what your sign is and what my sign is to see the predictions of friendship, and I find that really cool. But that's the most I know.
I have been criticized and ridiculed for turning to astrology, but after a while, I reached the point where I didn't care.
I don't believe in astrology. The only stars I can blame for my failures are those that walk about the stage.
I believe in astrology and the spirits. I'm a Virgo myself.
Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.
Astrology is an aesthetic affront. It cheapens astronomy, like using Beethoven for commercial jingles.
We should take astrology seriously. No, I don't mean we should believe in it. I am talking about fighting it seriously instead of humouring it as a piece of harmless fun.

Astrology had an important role in the ancient world. You can't understand many things unless you know something about astrology - the plays of Shakespeare and so on.

If you believe in astrology, I'm a Virgo, so I'm very controlling; I'm very neat, and I'm very organized.
My father believed in astrology. His astrologer had predicted that his daughter would become a writer someday. My father would nag me, but I didn't write a word till he passed away. I wish he could see me now.
Astrology is interesting but not very accurate. It's a science I don't trust very much.
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.
