Abu Ma’shar collected thousands of charts in this discipline he called “Flowers” and paired with medicinal herbs. A 1930 Sunday Express article about Princess Margaret was the first of many popular newspaper articles on this discipline criticized for leveraging the Barnum effect. The dragon’s head and the dragon’s tail are two (*) lunar nodes important in this discipline. One common practice in this discipline is creating a natal chart that considers “aspects,” a term for the planets’ angles to each other. For 10 points, name this pseudoscientific discipline concerned with horoscopes and zodiac signs. ■END■
