Man am I feeling nitpickly today!   :-) But I just wanted to ask TIA why she thinks the tenets of astrology are so "extraordinary" that they require "extraordinary proof". Is it "extraordinary" only because it cannot be explained, proven or disproven via scientific methods of
investigation (yet)?

From a historical perspective, it is not astrology that's "extraordinary", but modern science and technology!

Astrology has been around and evolving for thousands and thousands of years. To the best of my knowledge, every culture in history on this planet developed some form of astrology. It is hardly "extraordinary" in my view -- rather, astrology is a very common, everyday, well known, ever evolving and extensively practiced area of study, research and discovery.
