[4] Although astrologers tend to be easily upset by sceptics, there is no doubting their considerable contributions to the search for scientific truth and useful critiques of the flaws of existing astrological research; and this site is included quite deliberately in the interests of intellectual balance. That is not to say that we implicitly endorse every (or indeed necessarily any) sceptical position expounded in the site in question; but surely there is wisdom in the time-honoured dialectical method that champions the synthesis of thesis and antithesis as the road to knowledge; in learning from the broadest possible consideration and attempted reconciliation of contradictory positions and views. An abiding aim of Astrolearn is to be scholarly; to inform, to present, to foster both awareness and critical thinking, but not to pass judgement on beliefs, though we reserve the right to criticise and correct misinformation and ignorance where it comes to our attention.
[5] NB: the links to some of these resources from the home page do not work since they are routed to a defunct mirror site, but the correct ones are found on the Sitemap page. It is also worth noting that the site as a whole is not well-recorded on the Wayback Machine, so when it finally disappears, it will probably be largely lost for ever from the Internet
[6] Caution: Some of the links from his main home page lead to politicised points of view on mundane astrological topics that may be distasteful or shocking to some readers. We have therefore avoided directly linking to it, though it is easy to find. Proceed only at your own discretion if you will; we take no responsibility for leading you there.
