An Atlantic University Master’s Degree Thesis

The similarities and variabilities of 20 astrological analyses of one subject's birthchart were studied according to three criteria of competence: accuracy, analysis, and synthesis. The various astrological topics and life themes identified by the astrologers were compared and evaluated.

Interviews with the subject and others clarified and verified specific contents of the analyses. Findings are discussed in the context of astrological theory.

It was expected that competent astrologers would be identical in birthchart calculation accuracy and, although varying in style, would relate similar, recognizable descriptions of the subject and would include personal insights and intuitive synthesis in their reports.

The results indicate that 11 of the 20 astrological analyses exhibit competence as outlined in the three criteria; six are flawed; three are calculated inaccurately.

Expectations are met by 55 percent of the participating astrologers. However, 85 percent of the astrologers identify the subject's career and accurately forecast future conditions in the subject's life.
