For Françoise Hardy, there are two types of astrology. The most widespread comes from a charlatanism, often flimsy, which abandons the scientific foundations of astrology to limit itself to playing with abstract symbols and admitting belief in an absolute fatalism; lacking any serious relationship with astronomy, it is capable of putting the most absurd words in the mouth of the astral sky.
On the contrary, the other astrology, called universal or conditionalist, restores the link with the great astrologers-astrologers such as Ptolemy and Kepler, for whom the sky at the time of our birth is one of the determining factors of personality, along with other conditioning factors such as family, geographical, climatic or historical environment.
The reader will learn that a sign is first and foremost a large family of different beings in whose bosom he or she will be able to situate him or herself on the basis of original astropsychological tests; moreover, he or she will be guided in making the most of his or her zodiacal potential. In Universal Astrology, Françoise Hardy proposes a different, intelligent, coherent, original and modern way of seeing the signs of the zodiac as they have never been seen before.
