释义 | astromancyastromancy2. Rare. astrology. Also called sideromancy. — astromancer, n. — astromantic, adj. AstromancyAstromancy(religion, spiritualism, and occult)Astromancy refers to a kind of astrological fortune-telling that views the stars as predicting an irrevocable destiny for the person having her or his fortune told. Modern astrologers tend to distance themselves from this tradition of predicting specific events. Instead of predicting events, most contemporary astrologers describe upcoming planetary conditions, with the understanding that clients have the free will to respond to planetary influences in different ways. Like meteorologists, astrologers can only predict trends and probabilities—not details. |
