Astrology and new shapes of religiositā in Network

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the situated Astrobusiness we can find suggestions in order to maximize
the profit of a company. Anyone can collegarsi and ask, to payment, a
council on the problems of the own entrepreneurial activity. The
particularitity of this service is in the fact that the advisings on linens
that the society supplies base on the influences and the position of the
stars. The advisers, to the other head of the line, are all of the
astrologi.

Astrobusiness is the test of like the astrology is being adapted to the
world of new the average and it transforms myself through of they. According
to a survey of Pathfinder, the search motor American specialized in news,
the astrology is between the first five arguments on which teen-ager the
Americans they make searches in Network.

Also the tv digital, from the satellitari networks of the Bbc to Discovery
on linens, give great space to the stars and to their influences, with
special programs and rubriche. The average is changing, therefore, but the
popolaritā of the astrology not tramonta.

>From some year, in effects, the astrology has endured one true and own
technological revolution. To the recent conference anniversary of astrologi
the Americans, the United Congress of Astrologists, astrological the
folklore classic, from the nails head with illustrated stars to the zodiaci,
it has been replaced from one exposure of software. By now, in effects, they
are little the astrologi that they do not use of programs like Psyplan that
discharge gratis from the Network.

Enough to insert the data, year, month, day, place and hour of birth and
Psyplan it generates an astrological profile immediately.

Insomma, the astrologi takes advantage of the new new technologies and the
average in order to remain to the step with the times. The fact that all the
one which regards the astrology, today, it has a large one, enormous has
happened of public. And for this old and new average it gives space to
stars, to pronostici and predizioni.



In it was of the Aquarius, the so-called one new age is exploded for a long
time. Books on hidden, that they speak about spiritualitā, amulets, stones
from the more or less miraculous use, smashed horns, hearts, papers and
tarocchi, crystal balls in order to practice the ancient art of the
divinazione. In this context the astrology ago from Queen, therefore all ne
speak, ne read, ne they contest or ne decantano one ancient scientificitā.
The radio, the television and the Internet network offer one impressive
variety of forecasts. We are senz' other of forehead to a mediatico event.
Official science but, never like in this period, stretches to deny whichever
scientificitā to practical the astrological ones. The problem undoubtedly is
placed. How it is made as an example to recognize a ciarlatano from a
serious and prepared astrologer? And it is true that with the introduction
of the new technologies all we can trace native topics without difficulty?
of Antonia Moro

The average often emphasizes determined aspects of the astrology, some of
rather folkloristici which also. But the astrology, even if seems tied to
the free time and to it wants of escape of the persons is the spy of a
phenomenon of important custom. The paranormali phenomena and various shapes
of irrazionalismo and misticismo, are finding a new space in the daily life
of many persons.
The Network is the just place in order to try to understand that capacity
has this phenomenon and like it is connected to the boom of the astrology on
the average.


In the Network, various shapes of misticismo are conjugated with the
astrology. And between these we find shapes of spiritualitā that they have
behind one long tradition, like that one of the induiste religions. But we
little find also even been born known religions and on the Network. But
which is the meant one of this phenomenon from the point of view of the
evolution of the custom? Here the opinion of anthropologist, Cecilia Gatto
Trocchi:

" the astrology, more than with the free time, has to that to make with the
meant one to give just to the time. Today we live in an age in which much
truth they have lost their thickness. Here then desire of the persons of
turning the look and the attention to the hypothetical sun, the appearing
motion of the sun in the several constellations, relationship to planets,
the jew's harps, the black moon. All this gives a sense to the own life. We
are under Saturno, or Mars, legacies to the Moon, the Aquarius, the
Sagittario. Our time acquires meaning, our short insignificant life is
harmonized with the cosmos, and this is in some consolatorio way. Who
addresses to the astrology does not want to escape, wants to have of the
councils. Who fervent believes the astrologer, beyond that they read for
divertimento the oroscopo on the newspaper, tries of the indications, of the
life councils. There is a search of supports, consistency in a world in
which the relations they are fluid, labili and little sure ".

The astrology is an interesting custom phenomenon. However the astrologi, in
some cases, rivendicano a scientific foundation to their art. But which is,
today, the attitude of science in the comparisons of the astrology? We have
asked Margherita Hack " science considers the astrology one superstizione.
Twenty centuries ago when the astrologi they watched in sky, watched it are
for the calendar, are because they thought that in sky there were of the
divinity and that these could influence on the human life. Calculating the
position of planets, is a calculation that cannot have absolutely no
infuence on the human life, therefore of scientific not is absolutely
nothing

Once astrologi and the astronomers watched the sky and they noticed,
scrutandolo for practical scopes, of sure regolaritā in ripetersi of the
moon or sun eclipse. He can himself be said that astronomy and astrology are
been born together and that they were to the origin practically the same
thing. Then, pian slowly, they have gone dividend, I speak ago about tens of
centuries. He is himself inasmuch as the astrology has seguitato to try to
interpret the positions of the stars, of planets like having of the effects
on the human life, while astronomy has begun to understand which was the
motions of the sun, planets and to try to understand which was the position
of the Earth in the solar system and later in the universe ".

This was the opinion of astrophysics like Margherita Hack, than it is taken
care of science for profession. Nevertheless, as mass phenomenon the
astrology seems to answer to the requirements and the common difficulties of
various types of individuals. The astrologer, in some cases, seems to
replace the psychologist, in advising and helping the persons.
Currently therefore the astrology represents one possibility of escape from
various aspects of the daily life. In effects, the astrology does not try a
competition on the scientific land with other disciplines, but it is pleased
to acquire space in the custom and the daily life of people. And probably
its mediatico happened one depends just on the ability to fill up of real
the empty present comunicativi in our society.
