I think astrology can be fun, but when you're scheduling life events around the planetary alignment it's a PITA. ( I'm sure the Reagans' employees would agree).

(Oh, my ascendant is Gemini- the site got my sign right).

I'm trying to figure out how it got mine wrong, then... Oh well..

I know they made business decisions around it, and strangely were successful (I could speak of the effects of just believing something doing well and self-fulfillment). I remember my great aunt telling me that when she married my uncle JB, she told him they'd be together 29 years (she died shortly after their 29th anniversary - about a year or so after she told me this). She asked my mom one fine February day if she was pregnant, which according to the doctors wasn't supposed to be a possibility, and lo a doctor's appointment three weeks later showed that she was. Weird stuff. I don't know if I register an opinion on it all. My brain says one thing, my gut is a little freaked out by the rest.
