For anyone who has studied astrology in depth and been astounded by its accuracy, here is the book to show to your sceptical friends. This is a thorough examination of how each of the twelve signs fare in relation to marriage, study, employment, death, criminal activity and so on. The book provides abundant meaningful statistics and analyses these clearly and carefully. This text should be of particular interest to psychologists and scientists to broaden their minds or anyone who wants to understand their fellow man a bit better.Thankyou Mr Sachs. Highly Recommended .

Write a heterodoxical book and watch the numbnuts lie and squerm. Some people who suggest that they know better, have found it impossible to attack the findings so they attack the author as a 'fool'. But Sach didn't do the stats himself - they were carried out by a group of highly professional statistitions from the Ludwig-Maximilian Univeristy of Munich and theAllensbach Institure for Demgraphic Research.
I have no interest in astrology but there is now far too scientific evidence to believe the blockers who do not want to find evidence for what they do not like. Sach's work is good, building on solid material from people like Michel Gauquelin in France and Percy Seymour in England.
Don't be fooled by the blusterers - there is something in astrology and the physics is slowly being unravelled.

Sachs' book is full of tables and impressive looking statistical methods. Unfortunately, the results of the statistical methods are not interpreted correctly. Just because somebody read a statistics textbook and learned how to do a chi-square test doesn't necessarily mean he can apply the methodology correctly. It's just as well this book's out of print. Buy a statistics textbook instead and learn some probability and statistical methodology. Forget about astrology.
