- On another point, if the earth and/or other planets changed their orbits
- significantly, wouldn't astrologers have noticed? The old Hindu charts
- don't seem to have been updated for major celestial rearrangements, nor
- have the Western interpretations. Thus there seems to be a major conflict
- between Velikovskian theory and astrological theory. Presumably one or
- the other is wrong (or, heaven forfend, both...)
