What are some instances when astrology predicted the future accurately?

[Edit]

Answer

You might want to study up on Nostradamus. He did a lot of that kind of work. Some books about him might help to answer your question.

Answer

There are none. Nostradamus wrote confusing ramblings that could have meant absolutely anything.

Answer

Nostradamus gained fame during his lifetime by accurately predicting the death of the French king. In his defense, he wrote during the Inquisition and felt the need to disguise his forecasts. As a converted Jew (his grandfather was a rabbi), he was automatically suspect. He adopted the Latinized "Nostradamus" (Our Lady) because it was the most Catholic name he could think of.

But apart from that, as a radio astrologer (and a columnist before that), I predicted the election of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and -- shudder -- George W. Bush. And while I'm on the subject, I might as well predict the election of Barack Obama -- if his birth time is accurate. (In the interest of full disclosure, I intend to vote for John McCain.)
