The 'Mars Effect' :

The 'Mars Effect' : A French Test of 1 000 Sports Champions Author: Claude Benski Description: Noted French writer Michel Gauquelin was a strong critic of traditional astrology, but he maintained that there was a direct correlation between the planetary positions at the time of a persons birth and that individuals personality and eventual achievement. He claimed to find a relationship between Jupiter and military prowess, Venus and artists, Mars and sports greatness - the last of which resulted in the tern "Mars Effect." Gauquelin labeled this theory "Astrobiology." The French Committee for the Study of Paranormal Phenomena convened to test his claim and gathered data on 1066 famous sports figures. The data from the French test is now available for review. Is Gauquelin correct in his claims for an astrological impact on some gifted athletes, or might there be other explanations? Now you can decide for yourself.
