ALBERT EINSTEIN ON THE SCIENCE OF ASTROLOGY

"Astrology is a science in itself and contains an
illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things
and I am greatly indebted to it. Geophysical evidence
reveals the power of the stars and planets in relation to
the terrestrial. In turn, astrology reinforces this power
to some extent. This is why astrology is like a life giving
elixir to mankind." - Albert Einstein

Source - "Cosmic Religion With Other Opinions and
Aphorisms," Covici Friede, New York, 1931.

'Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of
knowledge. It taught me many things and I am greatly indebted to it.'.

You may have noticed I have removed this quote from my blog.

After some research, and thanks to a reader informing me of this, I have
found that this quote was not found in any of Einstein's biographies,
and that the book 'Cosmic Religion with other opinions and aphorisms'
from Covici-Friede, published in New York in 1931, did not contain this
quote.

Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of

knowledge. It taught me many things, and I am greatly indebted to it.
Geophysical evidence reveals the power of the stars and the planets in


relation to the terrestrial. In turn, astrology reinforces this power to

some extent. This is why astrology is like a life-giving elixir to mankind.

No surprise that Jay Stevens Maharaj, the phony and fraud who claims to
be an astrologer, continues to use this fraudulent "quote" that even
astrologers acknowledge to be untrue.

Have you even read this "source", Jay? Like your bullshit Macaulay
quotes, you continue to repeat this fraud, year after year, decade after
decade!

I have presented this web based article for jay stevens,aka dr. jai etc.
previously. It is one reason we need to keep his feet to the truth
fire. He likes to sneak many of his repeat posts in as new and hopes
none remembers.

Former astrologer Geoffrey Dean, writing to Ivan Kelly, renowned
expert and critic of astrology, said:

"Re that Einstein quote. This is a good example of astrologers
quoting each other nth hand, but with nobody ever checking the
original quote. In a letter in Correlation June 1991... I chased it
back to a book (in French) by the late Swiss-Canadian astrologer
Werner Hirsig, Manuel d'astrologie, where the quote appears in
French in the preface, but with no source given. From there it was
quoted by Solange de Mailly Nesle (1981), from which it was quoted
by Tad Mann (1987) and Percy Seymour (1988), and from there ever
onwards seemingly without end.... Various people including Solange,
Percy and myself have checked Einstein's writings and biographies
but have been unable to verify it, so Solange and Percy have
deleted it from later editions of their books. His biographies
contain nothing to suggest that Einstein had any interest in
astrology, and its style differs from that of authentic Einstein
sayings."

Dean ended by suggesting that the purported quotation should be
disregarded until authenticated. Dr. Michael Shermer, head of the
Skeptics Society, chimed in with:

According to Alice Calaprice, Senior Editor at Princeton University
Press and an editor on the Einstein Papers project for the press
for the past 20 years, this astrology quote, like so many others
attributed to Einstein by people in order to gain credibility, is
totally bogus. In fact, it is in her edited volume THE EXPANDED
QUOTABLE EINSTEIN ... under "Attributed to Einstein," along with
