followed the spirit of the age by printing a derisive Discourse on the #nvalidity of $strology, while in
%rance &ierre 'ayle(s Dictionnaire of )6*7 stated that the sub+ect was puerile, without bothering
to offer disproving evidence.[67] The $nglo,#rish satirist -onathan "wift ridiculed the .hig political
astrologer -ohn &artridge.[67]
$strology saw a popular revival starting in the )*th century as part of a general revival of
spiritualism and later /ew $ge philosophy,[60]123*425* and through the influence of mass media
such as newspaper horoscopes.[60]126*4263 Early in the 27th century the psychiatrist 8arl -ung
developed some concepts concerning astrology,[6*] which led to the development of
