The editor of Zetetic Scholar has challenged me to apply Popper" s criterion of demarcation of science, or any alternative to it, to the claims of this book that current astrology merits scientific status. As it has the stamp of approval of the World Astrological Association, I agreed to review it. I could not read all of its nearly 600 compact pages, full of snippets of history, astronomy, astrology, statistics, and other miscellaneous items, with little links and no focus. If the editor rejects this review on this ground, I will abide by his decision.
