Too often the only thing that people know about astrology is sun sign astrology. As a person who was born 20 minutes before my twin I can testify that sun sign astrology only is a bunch of bunk.

And as for those mass media newspaper & magazine astrology columns-almost total garbage!

However, a skilled astrologer or even a credible astrology progam can provide an accurate personality profile of an individual by examining the relationships, if any between the signs & degrees of a person's sun, moon, ascendant, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, North Node, and South Node.

As a Sagittarius with an Aquarius Moon, and a Virgo Rising {Ascendant}, count me among those who know that astrology is a valid tool that provides information [along with the nurture-environmental-free will continuum-as to why people act and think and feel the way they do.

As to whether astrology can predict events-maybe. Maybe not.
