Astro Teacher - astrology test

Bronwyn Elko said:
I would suggest using four birth data/charts drawn from four different months of the year. One data/chart is actually the volunteer's mother. Three others you could make up -- but these made up charts should not be drawn from the same astro-birth month (by astro-month I mean when the suns enters and leaves a particular sign) as the volunteer's mother. Same with the father. As well, the false charts should have birth times different than the parents' birth times. At least three hours difference. That's what I'd want.

Would you be interested in participating in such a test? I do have a number of volunteers, and can poll them to see which, if any, have information regarding their parents' birth dates/times.

If you choose to participate, would you need gender-similar pairs (mother/daughter, father/son)?
 
Sum: No. I have already stated elsewhere, on other threads, that I do not want to participate in proving astrology. I've been retired from astrology for eight years. I simply brought this up because I saw it as potential problem for AT. It's entirely up to him what protocols are used.

Gar: I never said that. I said that when it comes to a test of matching the charts of a volunteer's father and mother to his own, that one should not also include the siblings of either parent as test subjects.
 
I have approved some posts that are starting to head in the direction of general discussion of astrology rather than specific discussion of a test. If you want to carry on this discussion, it would be better to take it to one of the other threads rater than derail this one from its purpose.

ETA Posts moved to the general astrology thread.

I would like to thank those of you who volunteered, but I am starting to doubt that there will be any discussion of the various protocols offered in this thread. I will certainly let you know if anything changes, but unless one of the astrologers cares to discuss an actual design for a demonstration, I am prepared to let this thread die.

*Sigh*
 
Speaking of dying, I renew my challenge to AT: if he's willing to give a shot at predicting (retroactive) death in a horoscope, so will I. Not because I think I can (I don't), but because I don't think he can, either. He has claimed that he can predict death, however. So, I will participate in this test ONLY if AT also agrees to.
 
I admit that both parties here -- AT and skeptics -- tempt me, Professor Yaffle.

While I can't vouch for AT being truly busy, I can say that's true for me. I 'm as disappointed as skeptics are that AT has fled the discussion.

When time permits I will consider taking up this and/or another challenge. Out of curiosity, nothing more. I like challenges and have no investment in being right.

Proving astrology and my fascination with it to others doesn't interest me. I already possess the best of what astrology has to offer: a personal, transpersonal and, figuratively speaking, transmortal bond with the universe.

Yes, I'm fully aware of how flaky that sounds.

So did flying to Mars at one time.;)

AT: where are you? This is no time to desert the field.
 
AT: I sincerely hope that you aren't responding to these posts because you are too busy. :catfight:

I sincerely wish you wouldn't abandon this skeptic field of contest -- it's an opportunity. It's also good to stretch our celestial limbs, and theirs.

Please agree to participate, with Uranus/Jupiter transits on top.:)
