The claims made for astrology

Astrologers believe that a person’s character and destiny is affected by the stars, and in particular by the position of the stars at the moment of birth. Moreover, this influence is believed to be both powerful and lasting. In other words, the position of the stars at the moment you are born is considered to shape the kind of personality you will have for the rest of your life.

The best-known form of astrology, and the one that will be most familiar for those who read their horoscope in the newspaper, divides people’s birth dates into the twelve signs of the zodiac, which are twelve bands (or “houses”) through which the sun passes during the course of a year. A person’s zodiac sign therefore indicates the position of the sun at the moment when they were born, for which reason these twelve signs are also known as “sun signs”. This means, for example, that if you are born when the sun is in the house of Pisces, then astrology would predict that your personality will always tend to show Piscean qualities. You probably already know your own sun sign, but if not (or if you want to look up someone else’s sign), the generally accepted birth dates for each sun sign are given in Figure 9.1.
