In the latest scientific study of astrology Dr David Voas from The University of Manchester has found that "'love signs' have no impact on our chances of marrying — and staying married."

This is one of the largest controlled studies of astrology ever conducted. As with other properly controlled studies astrology failed miserably.

Now we wait for the spin from the true believers.

    "Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy: the mad daughter of a wise mother.”

    -- Voltaire (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), French writer and philosopher.

      debunkers? in the fortean tribe?

      astronomy has one goal, astrology another...like east and west, never the twain shall meet - but of course, they have the stars in common

      mystical answers are not science, but science can have mystical answers....quantum physics anyone?

        Pardon me, fellas...but astronomy bites the big one every bit as often as astrology, but astrology has the chronology (it is much, much older and much, much wiser - at times!). And I happen to believe this is a FORTEAN perspective, actually.
