Where did Kepler call astrology 'foul smelling dung'? I took a course on the history of astronomy and it did not seem that Kepler kept a distance from astrology. Remember, in my previous quote I state Kepler combined astronomy/astrology whereas the present day form that most people have access to is pure astrology. Kepler seemed to have access to a vast knowledge that may have never been in the public domain and remains only for the elites.

Kepler called astrology "foul smelling dung"...he taught it because he had no choice...he was an outcast for what he had found!

At 5:07 commentator states that Kepler didn't want anything to do with astrology, complete hogwash! At least half of Kepler's studies were spent on the astronomical/astrological and their effects on earth events. Kepler was hired by kings to make predictions and stunningly accurate!

This Keplerian astrology is completely suppressed by gov'ts and academia and please do not confuse it with Jean Dixon version which is a different more 'psychological' system.
