Here is an interesting point that Carl Jung noted about astrology.
Did you know that 98% of all married couples will have their moon, sun, mid-heaven, or ascendant in the same zodiacal sign? Out of the 12 signs, 10 rulers, 4 strong points [ascendant, descendant, mid-heaven, and IC]; couples share one very important sign. For instance, my sun is Sagittarius, my husband's moon is Sagittarius; my sister's ascendant was Taurus, her husband's sun was Taurus, my mother's moon was Scorpio, dad's sun was Scorpio, my mother-in-law and father-in-law were both Gemini suns. My daughter has an Aquarius sun, her husband has an Aqurius moon, my son has a Pisces sun, his wife a Pisces moon - you get the picture. This pattern repeats in 98% of all married couples. It doesn't mean they are soul-mates or well suited for each other at all, because there is so much more to consider in the relationship itself and other placements in the natal chart. This was first discovered by Carl Jung, the famous Psychologist, and I have since found the pattern absolutely incredible.

One of the main reasons modern humans do not like astrology is becuase we can't understand it and we cannot control it.
Anyhow, lets see where our modern ideals end up when the economy spirals out of control and the environment plays problems.
