The study of astrology, if nothing else, can provide the student with a valuable understanding of the vast array of human behavioural characteristics, of which I believe we all possess small or major traits. In this way it can help us to understand not only why humans act out their lives in the way they do, but indeed how on a personal level we also have the ability to be quite complex.

However, when used as a device to base judgement on any given sign which then causes us to manipulate belief, action or thought toward that character, it is akin to – if not worse than – expressing feelings of racism.
