Nice and easy.

If the art can hold up to the science then the average person may find value in it too.

1.
understood by or meant for only the select few who have special knowledge or interest; recondite: poetry full of esoteric allusions.
2.
belonging to the select few.
3.

4.
(of a philosophical doctrine or the like) intended to be revealed only to the initiates of a group: the esoteric doctrines of Pythagoras.

Perhaps a large public study would put an end to many questions. That would mean people who understand it like Randall.

Open minded, scientific study. What is provable, and what is bunk and needs to be fixed.

Would take years I imagine.

Much of Astrology isn't within the realm of science. It's like psychology. For example, there's no medical test for ADD; it's determined by observation.

Take all of that into account. If X star pattern is mixed with Y pattern, you will or will not have repeatable results.

If you had such a thing, you could point to it when people ask this question.

The nature of the human psyche is such that you often won't get repeatable results.

Look for the cause of the variation, and look for repetition there?

I feel ADD is a label created to medicate kids who are creative thinkers and question things. I dont think kids with ADD or ADHD is the problem, more like our educational system and how public schools handle "unacceptable behavior" by calling swat teams to come into the schools and traumatize 100s of innocent kids by treating them all like criminals making them lay on the floor at gun point bc a few of those kids are selling pot in school and the swat team now needs to make everyone feel like criminals in order to find out who the "culprits" are.

Whatever happened to the principle just talking to the child/teenager and suspending them for a while when their is a behavior that principle does not approve us. Schools are suppose to help kids become the best version of them and this is not done by making them feel like criminals that belong in a prison.

Kids are doing shootings bc they are unhappy bc they are growing up in an unnatural environment. Making an environment even more unnatural by adding more cameras and metal detectors and bringing in swat teams when their is a problem in school is only going to create kids with even more problems not all the way around .
