Principle of astrology proven to be scientific;
"Principle of astrology proven to be scientific: planetary position imprints biological clocks of mammals

(NaturalNews) Mention the word "astrology" and skeptics go into an epileptic fit. The idea that someone's personality could be imprinted at birth according to the position of the sun, moon and planets has long been derided as "quackery" by the so-called "scientific" community which resists any notion based on holistic connections between individuals and the cosmos.

<Snip>

Skeptics must be further bewildered by the new research published in Nature Neuroscience and conducted at Vanderbilt University which unintentionally provides scientific support for the fundamental principle of astrology -- namely, that the position of the planets at your time of birth influences your personality.

In this study, not only did the birth month impact personality; it also resulted in measurable functional changes in the brain

1. Well I just read some articles about it
Natural News is not characterizing this research accurately. This research seems to have nothing at all to do with the planets, and everything to do with exposure to light, and how the circadian rhythms at the time of birth can affect the offspring (mice).

Thanks for posting it, though.

2. The best explanation for astrogenetics that I have seen so far
is in Appendix 2A of The Mayan Prophecies by Adrian G. Gilbert and Maurice M. Cotterell. It is much too detailed to cover here, but it is worth a read.

It involves the earth being exposed to solar particles of alternating polarity.
