The key is that the gnostics shared Platos' dualism (flesh/spirit; as you probably know, to ginostics matter is a lesser god.) It seems to me that the eveklvation of those with the right knowledge has resonances with the Republic? But I dunno about astrology.
For some reason this reminds me that in the dorms severel times when I was broke I wrote papers for money. In your case, however, I would have done it for free if I knew the subject--I'm such a pushover.
Good luck!

your wasting your time looking in the wrong places. (Fuck that was condesending paternalism)... look at the reality that must be served... the one you see before you. I know you wrote the paper already but remember that the only thing that has worth is the feelings you have about what you know... even if you are wrong.
