I find it inherently ridiculous that the date of my birth would be a determinant of any aspect of the course of my life. I find astrology's successes to be a combination of happenstance, client disposition, and cold reading. The very fact that I'm supposed to have an open mind in order for it to work well is a strong indicator; an indicator that the method cannot succeed unless the client is already susceptible to suggestion. To me, it is a system of wishful thinking that employs non-verbal communication and educated guesswork. I believe the potential of the human mind is too beautiful to let itself be limited by formalized superstition.
