After about 6 mths of knowing my wife I concluded she must have a Sag Moon and Libra rising, this meant her birth time had to be between 5.16-5.22pm. Her mother gave about 3 birth times all way apart, and AM, so I realised, or hoped, this was a dead end. Surprisngly about a year later I wrote to the...

Logically you need a cut ofF point, as a mnemonic perhaps 8/4/1884 ? I'd have thought any ideas after this date ought to be deleted, to keep the discussions contextual. So no discussions of people alive after this date either, otherwise it wouldn't make sense since they would have been exposed to ot...

Robbin's article is hardly informed or intelligent. However to be fair sun sign columists, predictive astrologers and those who claim astrology to be a science are demonstrating, to my mind, considerable ignorance as to what it is. If the AA wishes to defend these people then I wouldn't entertain th...

Curtis. Are you aware of Schmidt's position on, in the right hands, a set of Tarot cards being, or not being, able to achieve the same/similar ''outcomes'' as a Horoscope ?

I suspect that the long-term solution is for astrologers to become increasingly literate in the subjects of astronomy and history and the history of astronomy and astrology. Regards Agreed. A Western Tropical Judicial Astrologer who can't discuss in some depth the ideas of those such as Plato and A...

It would be risky and probably not worth it as the casinos make loads anyway, particularly from those with stelliums in Sagittarius, in theory(or one of them). I would have thought they use plenty of psychologists to teach them how to get people to part with their money, without them realising they ...

All seems a bit strange. You would have thought a clever casino owner in Nevada would want to set up their own astrologers in the area and get them to tell people tonight was their lucky night.

Also, the idea that dangerous periods can be predicted is part of the traditional(tm) astrological practice, and while it shouldn't be done in a reckless manner, people do at times want to know such things. If they can seriously ask, they have responsibility for having the info. Fair enough if it i...

I don't know what happened to astrologers in Arizona.. I was referring to the nut who shot Gabby Giffords and several others in Tucson recently (Obama came to Tucson and made it a national event). Astrologers are just another variation of what the public views as harmless nuts, but if that changes ...

I don't know what happened to astrologers in Arizona. I am also not very knowledgable of the status of Astrology in the USA or the typical man in the streets there view of it. In the UK it is seen as harmless fun and unless someone does something dangerous or criminal due to the advice of an astrolo...

I remember Robert Schmidt saying a few years ago that based upon the fracturing trend in the different branches of study in this field in recent years, that the subject might evaporate and disappear in a few decades.

Mike, Apparently I can't make myself any clearer, either. Pity. My point is simple. We are talking blind chart readings, no? Two people born in the same town at the same year would not know each other if one moved away as an infant. Yet they might be highly compatible. You might carefully screen yo...
