Some scientists did horoscopes for rich patrons in those times so we might not take that too seriously. However in modern times such people as Michel Gauquelin did serious scientific analysis with reproducable results. Suitbert Ertel extended Gauquelin’s results.

We plan to report on its conclusions when they become available.—Editor the “Mars effect” is the most provocative claim of astrological descent because it is based on immense statistical research. It was launched in 1955 by Michel Gauquelin, who until his untimely death in May 1991 expanded with formidable energy what he thought would eventually release a Kuhnian revolution.Gauquelin was born in Paris in 1928. His interest in astrology began early. At age ten he could calculate a birth chart. At school his chart readings were so amazing that his friends called him Nostradamus. But were the claims of astrology true? Unconvinced by the success of his readings, and by the opinions of astrologers, Michel Gauquelin decided to find out for himself.After graduating with a major in psychology from Sorbonne University in 1949, he began testing astrology nearly full -time, assisted in later years, until 1982, by Francoise Schneider-Gauquelin.
