Whether east or west almost all the ancient civilizations recorded the position of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars and the consequence thereof. But unfortunately astrology for us today ends up with a horoscope on a piece of paper, actually forgetting the sky that is mapped in the horoscope, as if these two were two different things. Modern day life has become increasingly busy leaving no time to look up to the sky, even for a while. Sky remains too near yet too far.
The author either doesn't understand astrology or doesn't wishes to come to the point. He has all world's time to speak about mythology but doesn't have any time to share what he learnt in astrology. Takes world's time but never reaches to the point. He mustn't write any further.
