Please know Astrolabe does NOT speak for all astrologers. While the Supreme Court in India has ruled that Vedic astrology is a science, I do realize not all on this list share that view, and I'm not looking to go "out of scope" with a discussion on that topic. However, if this case needs any testimonies from astrologers speaking up refuting Astrolabe, I'm happy to write something u!
p. ADO has a great reputation for integrity, and this list has been ve
ry thoughtful for years. I do not see this case as "astrologers" vs. Olson database community. </div>
