AA President Roy Gillett told Astro News: "I am delighted with the warm response that we have had. Once, if you wanted a reading of your full birth chart, you would have to struggle to find a genuine, reputable astrologer. Then, you would have had to make an appointment and travel miles. Now, at last, there's a quick and easy way to get your questions answered by a real expert - from the comfort of your own home." Mirror reader Julie Roberts from Rochester was equally enthusiastic. "I rang last Tuesday and spoke to an astrologer called Maria. Within moments, she was telling me details about my childhood that she could not possibly have known... then she said some fascinating things about my future.

Remembering a Star Last weekend, in London, astrologers held a one-day conference to celebrate the life and work of Charles Harvey - who died from cancer last year. Charles was President of the Astrological Association for 21 years and worked hard to lift the reputation of astrology from its 'fairground fortune-telling' notoriety. He immersed himself in the scientific research of the subject and helped to create "Correlation", the world's only magazine about astrological scientific research. His work also led to the creation of the Sophia Trust, which is dedicated to getting astrology the academic respectability it deserves. He also spearheaded the development of the Urania Trust, an educational charity. If you missed any of Friday's Astronews articles, click on the Archive Thought for the Day link in the left hand frame.
