E 8.0 Conclusions

      When Task 1 of Section 7.1 and Task 2 of Section 7.2 of The Main Body of the Report, the adaptive mechanism of Figure D-1 and Figure D-2 of Appendix D, and the ideas of Section E 6.0 and Section E 7.0 are lumped together what we are really proposing is a procedure for constructing increasingly complex, self-organizing, adaptive learning algorithms that should delineate the true facts of natal chart astrology, if indeed any exist. Furthermore, the heuristics for the design of the algorithm are based on Aleister Crowley's concept of the "astrological complex". The procedure will involve a synergism between the development of increasingly complicated and increasingly comprehensive adaptive algorithms on the one hand and the TAARP analysts' understanding of Aleister Crowley's concept of the "astrological complex" on the other hand.

      One of the primary reasons for writing this report is to demonstrate that a fair, scientific inquiry into the validity of natal chart astrology must be much more comprehensive than previous inquiries have been. For example, consider the world of Michel Gauquelin. He gives fairly convincing evidence (even though Reference 48 presents an interestingly severe criticism of Gauquelin's work) that the first 10° or so following (in a diurnal direction) the Four Angles, and in particular the ascendant and the zenith, are significant in terms of defining correlations between certain planets and specific human capabilities. He found that for world class athletes, there is a significantly higher probability at the moment of birth that the planet Mars will be just above the eastern horizon or just past the zenith than is true for the general population. So, let us assume that in some sense the planet Mars correlates with human athletic ability. If this is really true, then I think that world class athletes will tend to have more Martian type astrological complexes than is the case for the general population.

      According to Crowley, having Mars rising or culminating in the zenith is certainly one strong indication that a Martian complex may manifest, but rising or culminating is not enough to qualify a planet as the key of a complex. Furthermore, rising or culminating is not even a necessary condition for a planet to be designated as the key of a complex.

      It would be very interesting to see if the Gauquelin effect in terms of statistical relevance is more pronounced if Crowley's astrological complex concept is used as the determining factor instead of simply considering the first 10° or so just following each of the Four Angles.

      Natal astrology is so immensely complicated that the use of sophisticated computer algorithms having artificial intelligence capabilities will be required in order to give natal astrology a fair and scientifically critical review.
