Bob Marks has a master’s degree in chemistry from the City University of New York. Until 1966, he was a chemistry instructor and thought that astrology was unscientific nonsense. Then out of curiosity, he read a book on how to do your own horoscope. It seemed to work, but being a scientist, he decided to put it to the test. He had a friend send him the birth information of people whom he had never met. For the first one, he wrote that “this woman has a sharp tongue and she can tear you apart in seconds with her sarcastic remarks.” He wrote back, “You’re right. She’s my wife.” That’s how it started. Bob has been a full-Time professional astrologer since March 1981 and producer and host of Astrology Now on Manhattan Cable TV from 1979 to 2010, the longest-running astrology show on television. He published a book review of Astrology off the Beaten Track in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, 23(4).
