I sympathize with the reactions I am getting, because I can follow quite well all the reasoning on why natal astrology should not work. In fact, thiese were exactly my arguments against it, until I was challenged by a colleague at work to "try it out" myself, to see it works. I took the time to read two books he recommended (written by psychiatrists) and my feeling was there really seems to be something to it. I did my own horoscope and recognized myself. (the method consists of placing the planets in the zodiac wheel at the time of birth, looking at which signs each one is in - every planet has a different meaning -, looking to see if certain angles are formed, and based on the hour of birth determining a subdivision of the wheel into mundane houses). Know it sounds like a lot of hocus pocus...
I do not consider myself an "astrologer", but if you guys can agree on one person giving me his or her data: date of birth, exact time of birth, and where, I will do a short character analysis and await feedback. I find the test interesting, since it is of a person which I have never meet or seen, and can not therefore be subconsciously influenced.
Fair enough? (I am not a new age looney by the way...
)
