Design an experiment to test the claims of astrology. You might begin by selecting ten “clients”; obtain the exact time and location of their births and have an astrologer do a reading for each. Then see if the clients can recognize which reading (out of, say, a total of five) pertains to them. Or, alternately, for each reading you might prepare a “reverse reading” in which the character description is the exact reverse of the “true” reading. Then give each client a copy of both readings (true and reverse) and see if he or she can distinguish the true one. (See Geoffrey Dean’s two articles in Frazier, 1991, 279–319.)

Design or perform the following experiments, as directed.
