Bad reporter. I guarantee no astronomer would ever use the word
astrological.

We can use astronomy to refute *astrological* claptrap. :-)

Best,

No.

Astronomy is a rational subject. Astrology is irrational. There can be
no point of contact. Twas not ever thus, but it is now.

Just a point - if they think astrology is so important, that the movement of
planets will affect your life etc etc, how come they have completely ommited
Ophiuchus as a Zodiacal sign? If anyone happens to meet Mystic Meg ask
her that )

Percy Seymour? No thanks, I've seen more than enough. That's the fellow
who endorses Bauval's nonsense about the pyramids of Egypt being a
"precise map" (or some such entirely false verbiage) of the
constellation of Orion and environs.

Best,
Stephen
