As an individual who earned a bachelor degree entitled, The History and Science of Astrology, I think that I know quite a bit more about the system of astrology that uses the 12 SIGNS of the TROPICAL ZODIAC than the average person or even the average astrologer. I earned my degree through the Bachelor's Degree with Individual Concentration program at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1975. I have studied astrology, astronomy, politics and history for 50 years Most people are sadly uniformed as to what astrology actually is. The tropical zodiac is the one which is most widely used in Western culture. It is based upon the Ptolemaic system of astrology/astronomy that persisted from the 2nd century C.E. up until the time of Kepler and Galileo. Kepler practiced astrology, as did the alchemist and physicist, Sir Isaac Newton. An esteemed astrologer once told to me that although there are about 250,000 astrologers in America, only 400 of them can actually call themselves astrologers. Only a handful of astrologers predicted Trump's victory in 2106. I predicted his victory in July of 2016 using astrological methodology. I think that these superficial astrology-apps will be very entertaining. Yet, if they are taken too seriously, they could also be dangerous. I stopped giving astrology advice over two decades ago. Most people who came to me for advice should have been seeking psychological help. I was and am not qualified to give therapy, so I ceased practicing.

I think astrology might be a sort of anthropologically embedded folkway about the effects on child psychological development of seasonal variations in maternal nutrition in late hunter-gatherer/early-agricultural/pastoralist modes of production, to be honest?

I was really hoping this was from Hacker News when this got posted yesterday but it's apparently a comment that was posted directly on the NYT site.

Like, kids born in March had mothers who were pregnant in winter, maybe the amount and composition of food availability does something to neural development? I mean, what foods are naturally rich in folic acid?

But this system probably never had much more than very slight predictive power and one of the major efforts of civilization over the last 10,000 years has been (at least attempting) to smooth out the food supply so it’s probably gotten much less predictive over time so at this point it’s just a historical curiosity?
