Did Aquinas Think He Could Use Astrology to Predict Things?
Aquinas held that qute astrologers, by considering the stars, can foreknow and foretell things concerning rains and droughts as an example. He rejected this idea on the grounds that isn't compatible with the gift of free will that god gave men.
