"Dear Jonathan,

I have heard that when you get to 40, you are supposed to go to the next star sign.. I was born a Scorpio, but am over the age of 40. Should I be reading Sagittarius?

Sandy.

Sandy Dear,

Where did you hear that? And while you were there, did you also hear about a flying pig, the tooth fairy or a diet that lets you gorge on curry and chocolate and still lose 5lbs a week? The idea, I assume, comes from the notion of 'planetary progression'. But even if you do believe this technique has any merit, you can't just go around giving out arbitrary ages for when it 'kicks in'. Not, that is, unless you actually are the tooth fairy.

His advice is wrong though...I mean that the question wasn't about progressions but about the ascendant. That happens when you apply skepticism to the wrong "science" :p
