Question 1: —What is the likelihood that one-twelfth of the world??s population is having the same kind of day—

Answer: Well this one I agree with. Those so-called horoscope columns in the newspapers were designed as a publicity stunt to increase circulation. Unfortunately, that worked. As a result, most people think that all there is to astrology is to know about your —sign??. Absolutely untrue. Sun-sign columns are most emphatically not real astrology. I denounce them at every turn, and I do so again here. However, Dr. Franknoi would know this if he were familiar with the field.

Question 2: —Why is the moment of birth, rather than conception, crucial for astrology? ...I suspect that the reason astrologers still adhere to the moment of birth has little to do with astrological theory. Almost every client knows when he or she was born, but it is difficult...to identify a person??s moment of conception...??

Answer: The reason astrologers use the time of birth is because birth gives us a completely formed human being. After conception, all we have is a fertilized egg. But notice the subtle shift here. The real issue is —Does astrology work and can the assertions of astrologers be tested??. Dr. Franknoi seems to change this to —Well, it doesn't sound right so it must not be true??. When quantum mechanics was first proposed, it didn't sound right either. It took years for it to be accepted. Opponents called it —Quacker Mechanics??. Whether something sounds right or not is not proof one way or another.

5th House in Taurus
You have an appreciation for beauty, and prefer hobbies that stimulate your senses. Free time for you can consist of just lounging around and being lazy. In love, you require lots of affection, and want someone to dote on you. You can spoil your children, give them lots of material items, but have a hard time dealing with them if they turn out to be very different from you.

Natal Moon in the 5th House
This can be a highly creative placement. The Fifth House loves to create things, and with the Moon here, it becomes an emotional need to create. This usually manifests as artistic creativity, and many actors, singers, artists, and the like have Fifth House Moons or prominent Fifth Houses. Hobbies can be central, and you need a certain amount of time to be able to pursue your own interests, otherwise you won't be a happy camper. Expressing yourself is something that you feel you absolutely have to do or you??ll just burst apart, and there may be times where you??re quite the drama queen. A Fifth House Moon is also usually good with children, though you may become attached in unhealthy ways. You??re also very emotional in romantic relationships, and can become attached to romantic partners quickly, so be sure to choose people wisely before you really get involved. There's nothing wrong with being friends first, though some of you may have a hard time not being in a relationship, being —in love with love.?? You can also be easily influenced by other people, so you may need to learn to be more discriminating. Those with very difficultly aspected Moons may have to watch for problems with gambling and negative risk-taking.
