Many questions arise in the Philosophy of Astrology that deserve consideration and an appropriate response. Most of the answers go out to the individual through correspondence, particularly E-mail; I have not been especially good about saving my replies, and I have to repeat my answers. This page should remedy that situation. Valid questions that help clarify areas that I have not dealt with adequately will appear here, and in some cases, with what I have not dealt with at all. If you have questions, check here first, you may find the answer. If not, then let me know; your question could become a part of this page.

Question: All the Christians, which is about everybody I know, tell me that astrology and other occult subjects are on the same level as witchcraft, and Devil worship. What do you have to say about that? Without Jesus as your savior, how are you going to stay out of Hell?-- Carl Miller

Question: What really interested me, was your comment about Pluto. I knew that all the planets in our solar system "housed" souls of a particular bent. I didn't realize Pluto harbored those types of souls. The position of Pluto in our solar system and its size may have something to do with the nature of these "wretched ones." I often wonder if they are drawn there or if they are placed there. Anyway, if you want to elaborate on this, I would be interested to know a little more. Ann Parker
