Years ago I spoke with someone who looked at the horoscopes of several psychiatric patients in a particular psychiatrist's office (prior patient permission given, but astrologer had no info on the patients other than birthdate and time) and was able to tell the dr just what was going on with the patients in terms of reason for the problem and diagnosis. He did this while in a graduate program at Harvard in the 70's. Never published, just an experiment. He says the psychiatrist was amazed at the accuracy and some of the insights. Astrology will never be taken seriously until some really good research is done and redone to prove, or disprove, its accuracy.
