This work attempts to argue that astrological phenomena (i.e. things happening in accordance with astrological predictions) can only be explained by (philosophy of mind) idealism. In other words, astrological phenomena happen because of some non-spatial mechanism. Astrology, in particular Indian (Vedic) astrology, is empirically convincing and thus true/valid. However, its conventional spatial mechanistic explanation (that the astrological phenomena are caused by some rays emitted by the planets) is flawed. Further, it can be conjectured that no valid spatial mechanistic explanation can be provided. Therefore, in such case, only a (valid) non-spatial mechanistic (i.e. idealistic) explanation can be given. And one such explanation is the NSTP (Non Spatial Thinking Process) theory, which also explains phenomena like quantum non-locality. Then, finally, the planets (more accurately, the astrological planets) stand as mere conceptual indicators in the non-spatial universal program.
