The vital thing as far as I'm concerned in any system of divination is the individual doing it, not the method they use. They either have the ability to relax and put personality aside and tune in or they don't. I do not believe in the science of astrology particularly, but I do believe that some people can use it effectively as a tool to express their natural psychic abilities. The same thing can be done by reading a person's tea leaves or the lines on their palm...if you have the ability.

This is why astrological predictions from a computer or a newspaper column strike me as totally useless except for entertainment.
