As old barriers break down, voyagers in the next century
will enjoy more exotic locales, more exotic customs -
and perhaps more exotic diseases. This year's Ebola virus
outbreak in Zaire raises an issue as chilling now as it was
in 1347, when traders sailing from the Black Sea port of
Caffa to Messina, Sicily, brought back plague, which
killed perhaps one-third of Europe's population. As it
happens, plague also cropped up in 1994, in India. [Time, June

Scientists have for many years denounced astrology as
unscientific, and there is no doubt that many so-called
astrological "facts" are nonsense. But the question still
remains, is there perhaps some truth in what astrologers
say?
Some years ago two French psychologists found
evidence for a marked relationship between people's
personality and the position of certain planets at the
moment of their birth.
Personality questionnaires were sent out to more than
2000 men and women without prior selection; when they
were returned, the birth dates were noted and the results
were put through a computer. Many astrological
predictions about the relationship between personality
and birth dates did, in fact, begin to emerge very clearly.
Hence three main groups were selected for special study,
namely sportsmen, actors and scientists. Astrological
expectations had suggested a connection between the
competitive, assertive personality of the sportsman and
the "war-like" planet Mars. Similarly the scientist,
reserved and serious, had been connected with the
"grave" planet Saturn, and the social, expansive nature of
the actor was linked with the "jovial" planet Jupiter.
Much to the surprise of everyone, the remarkable
conclusion of the research showed that people of a
certain group actually were born "under" a particular
planet: sportsmen under Mars, scientists under Saturn
and actors under Jupiter. By "under" is meant that they
were born just after the rise of the planet or just before it
set. To calculate these coincidences the place of birth of
the people concerned had to be known, as well as the
precise time of day when they were born.
One further fact emerged very clearly from this research
and that was that people who were born under the "water
signs" of Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio showed a marked
tendency to be very emotional - thus confirming another
claim made by astrologers.
