What about the moon? Look at hospital records for full moons compared to normal nights, there are way more accidents.
Can you please give me a source? I'd be interested to read it. I've done a few quick google searches, but I'm finding things pointing out there are no such correlations. Thanks!
Here's a scientific article, which found no such correlation: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15166467

I couldn't find one directly about hospital admissions. In my case, that was taken from anecdotal evidence from several nurses. The effect may be limited to those who believe in it . But, the reality is, people believe in it. That would explain it being found in limited areas, but not seen overall. I wish I could find a study that took place in rural India, or another place where astrology is highly regarded.
are you kidding me??
correlation does not imply causation
do you understand what that means?
