You call that a prediction? I didn't even notice it. I guess this underlines the difference between what happens when you look at a Rorshach blot for confirmation compared to when you actually expect something to be pointed towards beforehand This is how astrology works. If you can only say what might be happening once he's in already in jail, and without being even remotely specific, how do you know you aren't just looking for correlations that could apply to anyone? I had a bad week last week, at least that's what you could find if you were looking for something once the planets had spoken. If they said it was a good week it would have been that too. Without anything specific we'll never know... But as we clearly have a few experts here would any of them care to do my horoscope and a few predictions for the next six months? Go on it'll be fun, and I promise to be honest. Lets face it, if there is anything to astrology at all we'll have a Nobel prize to share amongst ourselves. True we might have the tricky task of having to explain why only some planets are used and why we have to have the Earth at the centre of the solar system etc etc. And even some sort of idea of the field used, maybe John Hagelin could cobble together a quantumy sounding bit of nonsense for us. Might get us Lynched though, and I don't mean David. > > And was this guy tracked down because of his horoscope? > > And couldn't you have predicted and prevented the crime > > in the first place?

Same thing happened with Nostradamus's "predictions" they they were only made after the event which isn't much use in confirming a link with the planets really. Getting something useful about the future seems to be rather trickier.
