Major newspapers without astrology column ?

The New York Times, to the best of my knowledge. I can't recall them ever having a horoscope page or single comic. Their daily "puzzle page" includes bridge, chess, and the fable NY Times crossword puzzle.
 
don't think the Guardian has one...

it used to have a weekly natural medicine-holistic collumn but readers complained, so it was pulled :D

Well, it disappeared, but it took a long time.

And I think the Observer (effectively the Grauniad's Sunday edition, which shares its website) has a horoscope...

I could be wrong: I rarely buy a newspaper on Sundays.

No you are right on the horror scopes. As for the barefoot doctor I don’t know if reader pressure got rid of him or his other activities.

In January 2007, it was revealed that he had been having sexual relations with a number of ex-patients. According to an article in the Guardian, he confessed to this behaviour after a number of women on his forum accused him of "sexually predatory behaviour

Actually I think andyandy may have been referring to the "Ask Emma" column in the Grauniad's Saturday magazine.
 
The Financial Times.

Pity though. The general economy aside, the idea of all The City institution suits conducting their insider dealing according to advice from Mystic Meg could be kind'a comical. :)
 
Swift, 1/9/2004:

I recently ran a piece on The Anchorage Daily News, and how that paper might do well to be a little more skeptical about what it published. Reader John Beaderstadt ("Beady") comments:
Back when [my wife Andrea] was a copy editor for the now-defunct newspaper, "The Anchorage Times," part of her responsibility was to oversee the daily horoscope column. One day she failed to notice that, as supplied by the wire service (or whatever), the item for Pisces was missing, and that day's horoscope was then printed without it. It was the paper's policy that an editor who screwed up handled all complaints that the mistake caused; my wife wound up explaining to a surprisingly great number of people that it truly was a simple omission, and that the prediction for Pisces was not so horrible that the paper had refused to print it. The epilog was that Andrea asked how she should handle the problem next time an incomplete horoscope came in. The older hands all told her to either just make something up, or, if she was worried about accuracy, to use an older prediction from out of the files.​

Not sure if the daily sport(U.K) has one? Give up precious space that could be used to publish a pair of ti*s,not likely! :D
 
Most importantly, the newspaper I work at.

FT, Wallstreet Journal, I guess. Although FT does post Fibonacci technical analysis of the stock exchanges.

i was indeed - but interesting to hear about the foot-doctor none-the-less :D

it may have been an over-reach to claim that reader complaints got her removed, i assume that is what happened however - the decision seemed to coincide with something of a badscience campaign against her silliness....
