"These auspicious aspects, which the astrologers subsequently interpreted for me, may have been the causes of my preservation."
"Strange an astrologer should die, without one wonder in the sky."
"As in the instances of alchemy, astrology, witchcraft, and other such popular creeds, political economy, has a plausible idea at the root of it."
