Talk:Boyle, Susan

From Astro-Databank

Hello everyone,

I’m the person who checked Susan Boyle’s birth details. Robert was the first astrologer who had the sense to contact the Scottish Astrological Association and ask if anyone had, or could get, the data!

Yes, there are other dates floating about. Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers…

Just one teensy point. I realised afterwards that I’d accidentally given Robert the wrong place of birth (although there’s not a huge difference in the chart because of it). While the family home was in Blackburn, West Lothian, she was in fact born at Bangour Hospital, near Broxburn, West Lothian, which is at 03w34, 55n55. But by the time I told Robert, he’d gone to press.

I’d like to make it plain, if I may, that this wasn’t Robert’s slip but mine.

I don’t spend a lot of time on astrological forums, so I won’t be entering into any discussions about this - sorry! - but as TMA has published Robert’s very interesting article, I’d like to clarify that he DID have the correct date and time and almost the correct co-ordinates.

Thanks you for the details, Caroline. The difference in location coordinates is very small, 4' of longitude, which amounts to the same as 16 seconds of time difference. As we cannot assume that the given birth time has precision better than 1 minute of time, it is not immediately important to modify the coordinates.--Alois 09:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
