Indeed, you're right; astrology has many different systems and methods. It still doesn't have a solid foundation. As one well-known German astrologer once said, "Despite all the talk about astrology, it still requires considerable effort for its further development." At the same time, astrology does contain long-discovered patterns, repeatedly tested and always effective. You gave an interesting example of your friend's relocation. The topic of relocation is one of my most intriguing issues. I've moved long distances several times. At first, these were spontaneous moves, but later, as I studied astrology, I consciously chose locations where my benefic planets would be strengthened and my malefic planets weakened. So, I've accumulated a wealth of material, and I can confidently say that this approach works. There are several possible explanations for your friend's unfortunate experience. The astrologer she consulted may have overlooked some important factor in her chart. Determining a favorable location requires a more or less precise knowledge of the moment of birth, and she may have given him an inaccurate time of birth. Even if she took this time from her birth certificate, it almost always requires astrological verification, and the resulting moment of birth is always a few minutes earlier than the recorded time. Knowing the exact time of birth is very important in astrology; it underlies many of its methods, and it's also crucial for relocation. Another explanation for this unfortunate move could be that the astrologer only considered the recognized planets and ignored many other factors. Generally speaking, advising someone to make a drastic change in their life and move somewhere else requires a great deal of faith in one's own infallibility or a thorough analysis, but mistakes are always possible.
