I'd add that *even if* there are no correlations whatsoever, even if the chart isn't a "blueprint" of anything but the positions of the heavenly bodies, the basic system astrology provides of personality analysis can be extremely useful. It's like a sort of alternative Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), except that it's holistic in that it deals with health as well as illness; it doesn't involve statistics; and it's considerably more humanistic, covering a wider range of human experience, including spirituality.
