A researcher in England has determined that astrology is “useless when it comes to sizing up a mate.”

No kidding. I could have told him that for free.

Dr. David Voas of the University of Manchester looked at the latest British census and compared the birthdates of 10 million married couples. He found there was no correlation between spouses’ signs. Says the doctor:

"When you have a population of 10 million couples, then even if only one pair in 1,000 is influenced by the stars you would have 10,000 more couples than expected with certain combinations of signs. “

Statistical studies of marriage records and divorce rates have not found any significant differences between supposedly "compatible" and "incompatible" signs.
