Why did The Post and Courier print the Jan. 3 article, “What’s in the stars for the new year?” The article gives “insights” from Charleston astrologers for this year, calling them “astrology experts.”
According to one expert astrologer, we’re having the current pandemic because the planet Mars is closer to Earth than usual. He also says that the influence of Mars is on the wane, so I guess the pandemic will be ending soon. More good news from astrologers is that democracy will likely survive because the dwarf planet Pluto will be back where it was in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Astronomy is science; astrology is not. I would just as soon take advice from a fortune cookie as from the paper’s daily astrology column. At least that column is on the page with the other comics.
