To Quote Sting

"I was real skeptical about it, and then a friend of mine who does it for a living said, “Look, don’t be skeptical, I’ll teach you how to do it.”  I said, “I don’t want to learn how to do that rubbish.”  He said, “Have some respect.  Let me teach you how to cast a horoscope.”  So I said, “Okay.”  So we spent months doing it.  I’d go over to his house, and he went through the night.  And he’d teach me all this stuff, the ephemeris and whatever.  And then to test me he’d give me an anonymous chart of someone famous.  He’d say, “Okay, go analyze that.” Elvis Presley--got him.  Marilyn Monroe--got that one.  All these people--I just got them.  The only one I got wrong out of, say, ten, was Trudie (Sting's wife). I thought it was Jesus Christ."Sting
