About astrology

Unfortunately the true science of astronomy has been ousted by pseudo science of astrology,whose votaries are to be found in almost every town and village of India at present day.No doubt, there are men who have committed to memory some stray couplets form siddhantas,and can perhaps compute an almanae with the aid of tables. But as Bhaskara has well said an Astronomer without a knowledge of spherics is what food is without clarified butter, a monarchy without is monarch, and an assembly without a speaker.
