Kepler's Belief in Astrology by Nick Kollerstrom

Kepler's lifelong attempt to recast astrology within a harmonic-Pythagorean framework has relevance today. The year 1987 saw the first visible supernova since Kepler's star of 1604.[1] At the quatercentenary of his De Stella Nova of 1606 about the new star and his theories of how astrology worked, this seems an appropriate time to re-examine the achievement.

Very few of Kepler's astrological works have been translated into English down the centuries, which has permitted a radically one-sided interpretation of his work to flourish. In recent years, however, modern translations of one of Kepler's seminal works on the theory of how astrology works have appeared,[2] which have been made available for the first time to English readers a perspective on what he really believed. That one of the great creative founders of modern science struggled for decades to relate together astronomy and astrology is a matter of no small importance.

Dessverre var Kepler en astrolog i tillegg til å være astronom, men i gjengjeld var har han hatt mye å si for grunnlaget av moderne vitenskap til tross av dette astrologitullet.
