This is an in-depth explanation of why we need astrology in the modern world. It is based on the view that the mentality of modern scientism may be the cause of our contemporary problems rather than the solution. The book imagines a world that combines modern mechanical brilliance with compassionate understanding of every person's unique individuality, using astrology as a vital diagnostic tool. It suggests that 300 years ago the Enlightenment threw out this possibility, and then envisions a 21st century paradigm that reverses this and creates better social conditions on Earth.
