it Is much more convenient to regard the planets as mov-
ing
round the earth as the center than it is to use the
opposite system, for in the geocentric system we note the
relationships of the planets as they appear from our earth
and note the effects upon various people at the time when
such planetary influences were felt, and so, by experience,
we have come to our present system of judgment, which
is, therefore, as true today as it ever was. "The proof of
the pudding is in the eating," says the homely old proverb.
The proof of astrology is in the truth of its predictions,
and no one who has honestly studied this science and has
tried to test it for himself can fail to find this truth.
Predictions sometimes fail because the astrologer mis-
interprets, but even allowing for the fallibility
of the as-
trologer, there is, nevertheless, such a mass of predictions
which come true that it is quite beyond explanation as a
coincidence.
The geocentric system is correct and takes in all sides
of man's nature, not only the material manifestation but
also the spiritual side. The heliocentric system, on the
other hand, has been trumped up by people who aim to
conform to science and have no concern with the spiritual
side of nature, therefore that is the least satisfactory. Bo-
sides, while those who have used the geocentric astrology"
for many centuries have recorded their observations of the
effects of the planets from that standpoint, there is very
little of such empirical knowledge from the standpoint of
the heliocentric system, which we would advise the inquirer
to leave alone.
