before we go further;

prove your "should".

If the other planets had any graviational effects these would have been observed by now.
agreed

That is a simple calculation based on Newton's theory of gravitation: the force is proportional to the product of the two objects' masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
the thing is that, while I agree with you fundamentally, there are characteristics of people which coincide, when planets are at a certain position. generally speaking.

and astrology, if done right, takes at least 8hrs or so to be done throughly. astrology is not a newspaper "thing". a personal astrology, specific to you, is much, much more complicated than this.
