ASTROLOGY

Interest levels in astrology have been substantial for a very long time;
of all paranormal subjects it is the one which has most touched everyday
consciousness. Accordingly, more people make a living from its practice,
directly or indirectly, than from any of the other subjects noted herethere
are, for example, several popular astrology magazines that have a circula-
tion of well ovcr 100,000. Still, it is not taken vcry seriously by the
majority of the intelligcntsia, with the result that few libraries carry just
about any of the numerous serial titles available. The subject itself is a
good deal more complex than most people realize, grading into other
mystical specialities such as numerology and cabalism.
