Smit recounted his experience in an article: ‘For example, I tested the statement that in the charts of people who had died an accidental death, there would be a remarkable incidence of Progressed Ascendant to Mars, or of Progressed Mars to the Ascendant. Using a software developed by a friend, Smit began to test out assertions made in astrological text books. Around that time, the late 1970s, the first home computers made their appearance. This was not the only thing about his chosen profession that disturbed Smit. Being a man of integrity, the question bothered him: how could he have made a correct reading with the wrong person’s charts? He was reading the wrong person and she had been in wholehearted agreement with him. At one point, Smit said something along the lines of, “Well, Ms Johnson we…’ when she interjected, “Sorry, my name is Petersen, not Johnson.” It wouldn’t have mattered too much, except that the horoscope that Smit had before him was Johnson’s. It was a good reading, and she was often interrupting him to exclaim how right he was. He was reading what the stars had in store for her. Long before Rudolf Smit became a turncoat, and was still a believer in the predictive powers of astrology, having even set up a professional association of astrologers in Holland, he had a meeting with a client whom he names Ms Johnson. Extensive tests, including one by India’s most famous astrophysicist, confirm that astrology is a hoax.
