Astrology furnishes a magnificent proof of [the] miserable subjective tendency in men, which leads them to see everything only as bearing upon themselves, and to think of nothing that is not straightaway made into a personal matter. The aim of astrology is to bring the motions of the celestial bodies into relation with the wretched Ego, and to establish a connection between a comet in the sky and squabbles and rascalities on earth.
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims, pg. 61
