What would the astrological alignment of stars and planets have been on/or about 1 to 3 AD.  Anything unusual?

Well it's impossible to see stars when the sun is up, and Venus is the only planet visible during the day, so there is no way all those bodies could have been visible at the same time. There might have been some sort of alignment, but it would only have been calculated, not observed.

DO you really think that hot bodies of rock and gas dictate the way your life works?  And according to the zodiac, you are a leo, because 2,000 years ago the sun passed throught that constellation.  The year of your birth, it passed through Cancer.  So how accurate would your astrologer be?

If Earth goes round the Sun in its orbit once we say one year.\n\nIf we use the term year for other planets there will be confusion.\n\nTill a name is suggested, we shall refer the period of rotation of the planet in its orbit about its star as one period of rotation of the planet in its orbit about its star.\n\nOr we can name it as Baba.\n\n“Baba” is the period of rotation of the said planet in its orbit about its star.\n\nTherefore my age in that planet will be 35 babas.

No.  There is no scientific basis to the belief that the position of various stars and planets has a direct influence on human activity.\n\nHowever, one could definitely perform a scientific, sociological or anthropological examination of the beliefs, history, development, spread, or pervasiveness of astrological belief in society, or sub-sections of society.

Polaris may not be due north on a planet with a different tilt to its axis, but you would use whatever was due north as a pole star instead

Yes. Or rather they move across the constellations. The very word "planet" means "wandering star" in ancient greek. The greeks saw that these stars (they didn´t know what they were) were wandering through the constellations and felt they were special. The planets (that can be seen with the naked eye) and the sun move through 13 constellations (not 12 as astrologers think) during the year. \nIn modern astronomy the constellations are just 2 dimensional sectors in the sky used for simple orientation. All in all there are 88 constellations.

http://www.cafeastrology.com.  They've got some very detailed answers.  Get a copy of your birth chart, then spend some time digging through this site for all the interactions.  Much better than just using your sun sign and ascendant.

Sometimes they're uncanny in their accuracy; other times they hit a bit off the mark. Nearly always, horoscopes are good entertainment. But Astrology is far more complex than a daily horoscope-and it's not just for fun. \n\nContrary to its popular but erroneous reputation as a New Age subject, Astrology is actually an ancient science that predates both astronomy and psychology. Studied and used throughout the world for thousands of years, Astrology is the study of the interactions among the Stars and the Planets, based on intricate mathematical cycles.\n\nThe earliest known astrological records date back to Babylon, 1645 BC, and the earliest horoscope to 410 BC. Astrology's origins can also be traced to several other locations and cultures, including Egypt, which developed sophisticated timekeeping and calendar science; Greece, where Ptolemy authored influential astrological and astronomical texts; and Rome, where many of the most learned men-including two emperors-were astrologers who wrote laws and counseled citizens based on the Stars.\n\nDuring the Renaissance, when literacy became more widespread, almanacs began publishing astrological information for public consumption. Several notable figures of the era, including Galileo and Copernicus, were both practicing astrologers and founders of the modern scientific movement. Despite the seemingly easy relationship between Astrology and science, however, Astrology began to lose popular credibility when myriad predictions about the great conjunction of 1524 failed to "come true."\n\nAs the Scientific Revolution surged and astronomy gained respect, Astrology and various other arts fell by the wayside. Many individuals still practiced the art, however, and Astrology enjoyed small revivals in England in the 17- and 1800s. But it wasn't until the birth of Princess Margaret in 1930 that Astrology once again found widespread popularity. That year, the London Sunday Express ran an astrological profile of the princess to celebrate her birth-and so began the modern newspaper horoscope column.\n\nIn the 1950s, French astrologers Michel and Françoise Gauquelin used sophisticated statistical studies to link the positions of the Planets to human nature. Others, such as Dane Rudhyar, have expanded the study of Humanistic Astrology.

Having studied astronomy for 15 years\nand being very scientifically minded,\nI was very skeptical about astrology...\nHowever, that has changed since I \ndiscovered the Indian system of\nastrology called Jyotish... it is an\nancient system, that is highly accurate\nand predictive, and I am satisfied it has\nvalidity when properly analyzed by a\ncompetent astrologer...\n\ncheck out a sample website:\nhttp://www.vedic-astrology.net/

no.  it changes over millions of years as the universe changes and our relationship to the sun changes, but i'd guess it was pretty close as to what is now.

Toss your horoscope now.\n\nThe stars are fine for guiding vessels, not for guiding lives.

It is baloney.  The position of rocks and other celestial bodies have no bearing on your life whatsoever.  Also the astrology predictions are so vague that they could cover just about anything.  Don't buy into this.  The only thing that being a virgo can actually tell about you is the general area of your birthday.

Multiple star systems are very common. In fact, the closest star to us (Proxima Centauri) is part of just such a system. It was once believed that planets couldn't be in multiple star systems, but of the 166 extrasolar planets so far found, several are in such systems.\n\nAs for our solar system that seems to have just one star, a persistent theory continues that the sun does have a companion star that has an orbit so highly eccentric that it approaches the sun once in several million years. To date, no hard evidence for such a star exists. Also, if Jupiter had more mass, it would have at least started its life as a brown dwarf star.

hehe it seems as if ive answered this question a dozen times .. \n\nAstronomy is Somewhat different then Astrology, for example, both the moon and sun are seen as planets in Astrology, also Astrologers have tracked the effects of some asteroids aswell.\n\nso the loss of pluto as a planet has no significance on Astrology. its still in space revolving around the sun and its effects are still tracked.\n\nalso Scorpios ruling planets are mars and pluto. Mars used to be the only ruling planet of scorpio intill the discovery of pluto, which is rather recent in the practice of astrology. so currently there are  3 signs that are co ruled by two planets\n\nScorpio - Mars and Pluto\nPisces - Neptune and Jupiter\nAquarius - Uranus and Saturn

Hmmm I'm not sure but since astrology doesn't bother to correct itself for the fact that the constellations have drifted one full sign over the lat 2000 years....\n\nMy fortune cookie seems to back me up on this.
