The astrology debate really got under my skin! My mother had my birth chart done when I was young. The chart says I will die when I'm 83 (!). It made me angry more than anything else! My parents still make ALL their decisions based on advice from an astrologer. They even objected to my marriage for years before finally giving in. And yet many of my close friends are fervent believers and seem to get some comfort from their horoscopes.

Speaking to Barry, from the Astrology Shop, after we went off air was intriguiging. He says eastern astrology only uses the planets we can see (ie. NOT Uranus, Neptune and Pluto). So, for a start, eastern astrology has no element of individual choice (Uranus). He also says, for him, what's interesting is how people use the information he gives them. For example, staying in a marriage when things are bad, because they know it will pass.

Common sense or sun, moon & stars-- you decide!
