This isn't an example of how harmful irrational beliefs are; it's an example of how harmful pissing contests between egos are. You get those in rational fields too. (And no, I don't believe in astrology.)

But since we are talking about astrology, I would have thought all the participants would have been able to see this coming and could have avoided a legal fight by just reading the final outcome from the stars.

But if they saw it coming, and couldn't avoid it, what does that say about fate and predetermination and free-will. Ah man this legal case is one of the deepest in recent history. And if I'm using these atlases correctly, the stars seems to be saying the outcome with be pivotal for mankind.
