      Well yeah, but I mean within the idea of astrology. It’s kind of an interesting question if you think about it. Even within our own solar system… if we become a multiplanetary society and astrology still exists, how is it determined? Do you still decide things based on where other planets are in relation to Earth?

        I’ve been working on a scifi fantasy story idea about pagans on Mars for years. I love the idea of a colonized mars, and pagans with a mars centric religion

          I like that idea. A similar thing I’ve wondered is about Muslims on another planet. They are supposed to face Mecca when they pray. Which direction does a Muslim on Mars (or even the moon) face?

        I’m sure the location of Venus, and that Mars is in retrograde or not (relative to Earth), have a huge effect on the destiny of Klingons born on Qo’noS
