or, when a scientist engages in artistically creative Self expression.
Dawkins sums up his personal reaction to what he calls, "The God Delusion", in this section of video from CSPAN's Book TV, October 23, 2006:

Fig. 1, An experimental approach to astrology wherein the artistic, poetic, products of one's self expression are analyzed for any symbolism which would seem to yield a astro-'logical' argument for approximating an unknown birth time.
Richard Dawkins' birth time may actually be unknown, so I guess there is little hope of finding out if this analysis can be verified, but I find it to be an irresistible exercise all the same. It seems to me that Dawkins has a lot of pent up expressiveness which is only released when he is ardently making critical observations. The burka analogy comes in the last part of his last chapter here, and is offered as a kind of final proof that the God delusion of the masses can only be a tragically unnecessary 'self-undoing' of persons whose hearts, minds, and souls are imprisoned by the sheer evil that is any and all ignorance required by religious belief.
I'm thinking, how can anyone make such feelings so obviously very personal *if* one doesn't have a natal chart which is somehow the poetic equivalent of that described *external* situation. In other words, art probably happens as a matter of projecting unconscious contents in the form of one's descriptions of one's 'external' reality...the trapped-in-ignorance 'feeling' which is the seed of Dawkins' burka analogy is likely promoted by what astrology calls the algebraic potentials of his own natal chart inheretance. Such hypothetical individual inheritance is the unconscious seed material manifesting and bearing adaptive fruits in the diverse soils of specific life expererience...the art of individuation.
