Sir
I support the letter “Star-crossed reader reacts” by
Jonathan Basckin in The Times, Monday September 5.
Astrology has no basis in science. It is based
on primitive misunderstanding of how the universe works. It cannot
predict the future, offering only generalities that confuse and mislead.
When a reputable newspaper publishes horoscopes, it
makes superstition look respectable.
For a twenty-first century newspaper like The Times to
publish horoscopes is out of keeping with your function of giving readers the
truth.
Please stop.
