It's been quite effective at separating certain idiots from

Astrology works on the surface of Earth. The orbit of Earth defines
the Zodiac. The rotation of Earth defines the Spring Equinoctial Point
and thus the locations of Zodiac signs. The surface of Earth with
rotation defines the Ascendant as well as the entire House
distribution.


I always preferred to look at it the way my old physics prof did.

What is it about astrology that works? Gravity? Energy, etc.

If it's gravity, then really charts should be based on the mass of the
doctor or midwife attending the birth as they will have far more affect on
the baby than say Saturn.

If it's energy, why not a whole new "High Energy Astrology" based on the
placement of items such as Cygnus X-1 in the sky, etc.


What happens to the astral chart when one is at a significant distance
from ground surface? How do Houses change?

Obviously the oxygen tanks on Apollo 13 blew up because she was Apollo
13 and it was April 13. But... Apollo 13 was about 200 000 miles from
Earth. What was the astral chart for that time and place?


No, obviously the oxygen tanks (sic) on Apollo 13 blew up because of a
faulty maintenance procedure months beforehand.

And besides Apollo 13 is only a name. It wasn't the 13th manned flight. It
wasn't the 13th Apollo flight. etc.


Can anyone compare this chart with other astral charts Apollo 13
passed through on the course of her trajectory? And prove that she run
into a particularly unlucky astral chart at the time of explosion?

And this is just more proof that it doesn't work. You forgot about such
phenomena as precession and nutation of the Earth's axis, both of which
are caused by the Moon & Sun.

You have just proved that astrology does not work at all.

Thanks.

Case closed.

Ah-Ha! But NASA's 13th manned space flight, Gemini 9 ran into problems! It must
be of some cosmic significance!

On a side note, At one time I wondered if NASA changed the way it numbered
shuttle missions after STS 9 just to avoid calling a mission STS 13 (though I
think was STS 41-C was also known as STS 13). Frankly I really sometimes wonder
what manager was bored enough to come up with the whole convoluted numbering
system used before STS 51-L. What were they planning to do when 1994 came
around? STS 41-A2? STS 941-A? Bah...

Wow, I really digressed there.
