I'm no expert, as I've said at least a dozen times here Bagpuss. Why are you hounding me? You said you have no real interest in astrology to begin with, it's all a bunch of hooey and you know it all already -- so why do you even bother to post here?

Certainly people born at similar times and places will also have very similar charts, and therefore very similar potential and tendencies -- so what?

I've heard that the greater portion (almost 90%?) of human DNA is identical to that of a chimpanzee. Some of us choose to develope and display those "chimpanzee" tendencies more than others, though.

You could have been born at exactly the time and in exactly the same place as a bedbug. If you were, that bedbug and yourself would have exactly the same planetary placements yon our natal charts. Does that mean you have exactly the same traits, the same 'pre-determined fate' as the bedbug?

Well, maybe .....    ;-)
