About

Are human personality, health and vocational choice influenced by the position of the planets? If not, why do so many people read horoscopes and believe this to be the case? Terms such as jovial, martial, mercurial, venereal and saturnine are implanted in our psyche. Are Psychological differences between believers (“sheep”) and sceptics (“goats”) affected by the season of birth? Do sunspots or the full moon affect human behaviour (lunacy or even ‘werewolves’)?
