Question about Astrology forecast columns...

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum members,

 

For a long time general trends have been published in magazines,

journals, news papers that have utilized the sun sign, the moon sign,

the ascendant and a few other indicators of 'personal' import for the

nativities.

 

My questions are simple and not at all intended to provoke a heated

discussion or anything personal.

 

Has anyone ever followed for a period of time a given

prediction/trend column and tried to see if these indeed come to

pass? Partly, or fully.

 

Has anyone ever compared predictions/trends given by different

astrologers for the same period for the signs etc and examined the

inter-reading consistency? Are the examined astrological columns

indicating similar trends for a given period? To what extent are they

concordant?

 

These questions are not frivolous but important, I think...
