Thanks to your most recent posting, I went back to review this thread and saw our dear EoT's post which I had missed entirely, since discussion had drifted from Time as a dimension to DIMENSIONS itself! Sorry about that EoT! I will see if I have something to add to what Rishi Rahul stated earlier in response to your question.
I will address to the question of this discussion being appropriate for this sub-forum and the problem (for want of a more appropriate term).
The problem is that astrology (like any divinatory discipline) is all-encompassing and so its horizons and borders are fuzzy, except for core technical matters. Even then, palmistry and astrology merge! Lines of hand are pretty much linked with the horoscope and experienced individuals have shown such linkages. I had done a bit of study and work in that area long ago and indeed there is a strong correlation and coincidence. People with strong mars have prominent head lines (the middle one), similar with Jupiter in chart reflect the strength and weakness in the heart line (top one) and lifeline correlates with venus, Saturn with the line of fate, thumb with ascendant (sidereal), etc etc.
So, as soon as we move our discussion out of the purely technical area, and dig deeper, what fits here and what does not becomes a bit less circumscribed and some may say we are moving into the fuzzy area of where astrology ends and where the rest of life begins. Assuming that any and all, even philosophical-sounding discussions or not immediately implementable in practice, are parts of the WHOLE called LIFE and HUMAN EXPERIENCES!
Case in point is remedial astrology. Some would say that that is mostly faith-based and difficult to explain using the limited dimensions of reality as explained and categorized by human beings of unquestionable scholarly and intellectual stature (ancients and the likes of Newton, Einstein etc etc). Although Rishi Rahul started the posted-thread with reference to H.G. Wells and his science-fiction, but some of the things he visualized so many decades ago, have indeed been realized now. Man has walked on the moon and deadly but useful rays (laser and other high energy controlled radiations) are now real and many such instances. All this makes H.G. Wells not a mere story or novel-writer, but indeed a mental giant with uncanny abilities to see the future, yet to evolve (at the time of his writing) and indeed can be called a SEER, just as Nostradamus was!
