This small book, aimed at a general readership, is an accessible distillation of themes I raised, and conclusions I reached, in my PhD on the nature of modern belief in astrology, mainly in the UK and the English-speaking world. I also included practical examples and material on the use of astrology by modern politicians. As the publisher’s synopsis says, the book explores astrology’s past and present, its claims and appeal, and explains what astrologers really believe.
