Being inspired (if that's the right word) by the test conducted by a scientist in an attempt to prove or disprove astrology (here's a thread about it: https://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113735), I thought about organizing something similar on this site. I think it’s quite fun but I have no idea how many people here would like to participate.
So the idea is that I post some natal charts (I’m thinking 3-5 of them) without saying who those people are and apply a list of occupations that you have to match with the charts. Not that hard, is it. A similar "competition" has already taken place at Skyscript, for example: http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6600&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 You can use any zodiac, any house system, any technique to determine the occupations, but you have to explain your final choice. I’m going to find those charts on Astro Databank and although I’m not planning to give out the birth information initially, there may be some people who will cheat and find these people's pages so the explanation of your choices will be the proof that you are honest and came up with your decision using strictly astrological methods.
To do it I want to know that at least 5 people want to participate. There doesn’t seem to be that many astrologers around here so I’m really not sure if even 5 people are going to be interested and I see no point in finding the charts if no one cares. If you want to take part, also mention which number of charts you think is optimal (I think 5 is a reasonable number, but maybe most of you will want less or more) and what kind of charts you’d want to see (I’m going to post charts using the tropical zodiac and Placidus houses since they’re used most commonly, but if there are some extraordinary additions you’d like to see, let me know). If you have any other suggestions and ideas, also share them. And don't be afraid! I certainly don't expect everyone to be 100% correct, but I think it's a good exercise and an interesting challenge so give it a try.
