How can the stars and planets affect our lives when they e so far away?
Consider first the obvious effect of the Moon on water, which composes 50-80% of our bodies depending upon our age and some other factors. The auroras borealis and australis along with such phenomena as noctilucent clouds clearly demonstrate the physical effect of the solar wind on Earth’s magnetosphere, and solar flares create geomagnetic storms powerful enough to disrupt satellite-based services. It would be foolish to believe that these storms have no effect on organisms on the Earth’s surface, albeit an effect largely mitigated by the atmosphere. We’re bombarded constantly with gamma and x-rays, radio and light waves, neutrinos and other particles, and God only knows what else from all corners of the Universe as the matter and energy from cosmic events reach us, and the position of the Earth as well as our position on her at any given time subject us to some set of forces, always different from that of any moment before or since.The Sun, Moon, and Ascendant are the basis of the thr
