From the very beginning astrology, smart people have been using it! If we go through the history, we will be able to see that a lot of prominent people were astrologers.

Carl Jung is said to be father of the synchronicity or the basis of Astrology. According to him, "We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have qualities of the year and the season in which we are born."

More and more, T. S. Eliot's epic poem The Waste Land is full of astrological references. Its four sections are named after the astrological elements, Earth, Air, Water and Fire.

Nancy Reagan used astrology, after the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, in order to determine when the best and worst times were for the president to do everything from signing bills to traveling. The media made fun of Nancy Reagan at that time but one fact can not be denied that President Reagan was the first president since Jefferson elected in a year ending with "0″ that was not killed while in office.

The Three Wise Men were Astrologers. Some believe that they heard that the Christ child would be born at the time of a conjunction of planets - two planets appearing in the same place in the sky at the same time - that was to signal the arrival of a new age. The two planets involved in this conjunction were Jupiter and Saturn. Both planets were bright, but this wasn't something that the average eye could notice. Even though they were trained astrologers this took The Three Wise Men some time to find Jesus in Bethlehem.

Are you aware of the Pythagorean theorem? Or do you remember what the Scarecrow recited in the Wizard Of OZ, after he get his "brain"? Or something about the hypotenuse of a right triangle? Pythagoras was the mathematician responsible for this theorem, who was also an astrologer.

According to Pythagoras, the harmony of the universe could be found in numbers, just like the harmony of music. Still today, most mathematicians believe that the secret of the universe can be discovered somewhere in the ratio of a circle's circumference or pi.

Nostradamus is probably the most well known Astrologer. He supposedly predicted most of the bad stuff that has happened in the world, including the world wars, assassinations and atomic bombs. His predictions were written in 1555, that foretold everything that would happen from that date until the end of the world, which he claims is 3797 C.E
