Is it really the stars of the zodiac that affect events in our lives or is it rather the sections of the sky and the position of the the planets and Sun and Moon in front of them that emanate their own unique meaning to events on earth?
Thinking about the sections behind (or in front) of the constellations, which are used as a benchmark, sounds pretty reasonable and sensical to me.
We should read Berg's book though to see which are his points and why he introduced the ophiuchus section. Sure enough, his method is pretty awkard to apply and needs a specific software (which is in commerce as far as I know) or a certain skill with ephemerides and astronomy tables. And it should be validated as its accuracy goes, with respect to the classical method, tested throughout a couple of millennia.
