The basic astrological assumptions are not hard to grasp. For if astronomy is the study of the movements of the heavenly bodies, then astrology is the study of the effects of those movements. The astronomers of the ancient world assumed a division of the universe whereby the superior, immutable bodies of the celestial worlds ruled over the terrestrial or sublunary sphere, where all was mortality and change. It was assumed that the stars had special qualities and influences which were transmitted

from observations and experiments. This explanation does not satisfy Popper. He has a gut feeling that areas of study like astrology are not science, and he attempts to come up with a theory to prove it.

For my iconographic project, I chose images that symbolism things that I believe I am, while also being things that mean a lot to me. The picture I created manages to look nice while also being full of informative images I will describe. According to Eric Jaffe, the moon is a symbol for a middle ground between dark and light.
