In the fall of 2005 I consulted the Medical and Astrological Institute Men-Tsee-Khang, in Gangchen Kyishong, Dharamsala, India. Though skeptical about any outcome, I thought it wouldn’t be harmful to hear what they had to say about my live(s). It would take them three years to come to a conclusion, which was finally sent to my home in Bangkok by mail in 2008, as, by then, I had already re-settled in Thailand. Please note that I never had a personal conversation with the astrologers. I just left them with my legal given names, surname, my birth date, legal gender and hour of birth.

This is what they wrote to me. Please note that I didn’t correct spelling and grammar. I marked sentences in bold that sound accurate to me. Everything not bold hasn't either happen yet, doesn't sound accurate to me, or I do not have an opinion about it.

End of the letter.

Interestingly, there is so much talk about financial matters. The last thing I am interested in is money. I also appear to get sick a lot. The only time I have been sick was when I was a baby and I nearly died. Though fragile until the age of ten, I have never been sick ever after, with the exception of a small problem at age 15 which required surgery, and a broken arm at age 34, which also required surgery.
I must say, if I pick up any book written by western astrologers and read their ideas about people with my birth sign of Gemini, they tend to describe my personality quite accurately. It still baffles me how different people are, just because they were born at different times during the year.
