Charts are not that vague. We aren't talking about the astrology predictions you read in the newspaper. We're talking about calculations based on something that varies from person to person--their precise birth date and birthplace. Those calculations are then interpreted into a reading, and if the astrologer is a competent one, the accuracy increases.

This reminds me...I ought to send Lady Sage a pm about getting my chart done. I've lost the copy of the one I had. Trust me--the accuracies were spooky, especially in describing my personality. I have some very conflicting elements to my personality that few people catch, and surprise even those who know me well, yet a chart was able to pick up on it right away--and the chart I had done was via the Internet, by someone I didn't know from Adam, based only on my birthdate, time, and place.
