This looks like a place where you could pick up some more impressive credentials. It's Not in the Stars - It's in the City Code In Columbus, Ohio, you have to pass a test before you can get a license to practice astrology. If you don't know that the second house and its rulers is NOT where you look for information about brothers, sisters, neighbors, papers and short trips you could flunk the test. It's the third house that rules such matters. That's one of the 20 true-and-false questions on the astrology license test. You have to get 16 right to pass. Says Ginrerlyn Summer, one of seven licensed astrologers in Columbus, "I've talked to some Libertarians who think this is a bizarre idea," she told the Columbus Dispatch. "But I think it's a good idea to make sure people know you know what you're doing." According to the Dispatch, The city has been licensing astrologers since at least 1930. It is believed that the test was designed by an Ohio State University professor back in the 1980s, but only the stars know who he was. Columbus licenses once cost $25 per year, but in 1988 the license section dispensed with the fee. But anyone caught practicing astrology without a license could be found guilty of a misdemeanor, fined $500 and even sent to jail. Not every astrologer in Columbus thinks The test and the license are a good idea. Robert Peters, an astrologer and psychologist, didn't take the test and says he's a licensed member of the American Psychological Association and he doesn't need an astrologer's license. "It's a stupid test," he told the Dispatch. Anyone off the street could pass that test." newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
