Astrology must enter into its principles, as the elements into bodies. But astrology has of late been considered merely as giving an intimation of future events; so, that her grand office of gate-keeper or usher to magic, (viz. the action of the mind, as walking, speaking, or embracing, is the action of the body) has been forgotten.
