One of the local talkback radio stations interviewed an astrologer today to talk about this, perhaps for a bit of fun or perhaps to calm some peoples fears. But she was real doosy! The lady astrologer on the Gold Coast in Qld reckoned that us here in Perth hadn't/couldn't see the conjunction as the sun would be setting here in the west as it rose in the east where she was. hmmmmm
Many listeners here were suitably outraged at this claim, as they, as have I, saw them this morning very clearly just a few hours after she would have. She totally blew any credibility she had.
