No offence taken, though I do understand what you mean. Astrology is an ancient science, perhaps the oldest and original science, something which was taken as important until the modern age. I do believe there even still exists a Royal Astrologer to our present monarchy, whether they take much notice, that I do not know, but it exists.

Science as we know it today is based upon what can be demonstrated, as if everything in life, the world, the universe is as simple as that, I think not, I believe there is much more to us than what science would like us to believe, in fact I believe modern science is in it's infancy, it has a long way to go yet. It has either to explain or debunk phenomena and belief, something which many scientists are reluctant to do because they are unsure, they don't know nor can explain.

Maybe the ancient scientists had something, maybe what learned people had noted about people over hundreds, perhaps thousands of years there was a pattern, not forgetting people might not have been as fragmented as we are today, they noticed things in their communities, the people whom they conducted their daily lives around.

Maybe that pattern was what we know as natal charts, the position of the heavenly bodies at the time of our birth, birth being a big occasion, and the heavenly bodies, planets and stuff, the forces they exert. We know of certain forces, gravitational, centrifugal, electro magnetic etc, but do we know all the forces that exist, I think not. If the moon has a gravitational effect on this planet so as to affect the tides, humans, animals and plants, why not other heavenly bodies, their gravitational pull and whatever other force there may be that we have yet to discover.

Given that the moon affects humans, a full moon being particularly potent, what effect does it have on our development and in particular the development of a yet to be born child. Perhaps it is that conception at a certain time as to the position of the astral bodies, will yield a person of specific characteristics, an experiment perhaps, has it ever been explored.

I am interested in science, but I am also interested in other things, perhaps not what modern science would wish to call science, the sciences of the past, I understand there may very well be forces exerted upon us which modern science cannot prove yet, I keep an open mind, until I am in receipt of an explanation which satisfies me. I believe in natal charts for reasons explained above, the characteristics natural to a person. I understand many who say they are nothing like that which astrologer says they should be, but you have to remember, we are constantly being modified by the society in which we live. Remove the influence of society and what will a person become, perhaps their natural selves.

Though I believe in the science of astrology, I do not take any interest in the daily horoscopes, as they are too general, they mean largely nothing to the majority and I prefer to take life as it is presented.

My natal chart was supplied by an astrological psychologist, something which helped me put a finger on some issues, which had to that point eluded me completely. Now I have addressed those issues, my life has become more balanced.
