"..People should not minimise the value of astrology.
Astrology is a branch of science
that studies and interprets human behaviour.
It does so through the means of mathematics & astronomy.." :)

The line about Einstein “Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things and I am greatly indebted to it." that's mentioned in by the OP at the beginning of the thread is fake. It's a hoax. In all honesty, I don't know who would say that line with a straight face. I even thought "you can't be effing serious" while reading it. Astrology is very very far from being a science. It has a lot of knowledge spanning thousands of years, but it's very far from "illuminating" for scientific purposes. If it were a science, besides being provable, there would not be as much debate and lack of consensus in basic things like house systems, the zodiac or any other thing.
 
In a Kindle book I wrote about the poet Sylvia Plath, I wrote about her husband Ted Hughes, also a poet in England. They both dabbled a bit in Astrology, he more-so than she. However, I do think he made errors in the chart for Prince William.
from an excerpt:
“Her Selected Poems” was published in 1981 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

In February of 1985, he was asked by the Sunday Times of London, to write a christening poem for Prince William. The poem was titled, “A Zodiac in the Shape of a Crown: What the Starry Heavens Sang to His Royal Highness Prince William on 21st July 1982”.
(I'll have to see if I can find it again) Meanwhile: this - article -

Like at least three of the poems Ted wrote for the Royal Family, ‘The Zodiac in the Shape of a Crown’, takes the form of a Court Masque. And whilst other Laureate poems refer simply to astrological birth signs in the Royal birth-charts, this poem describes the Prince’s horoscope in detail. It also conjures the gods of the Zodiac to appear and gives them voice. Just as Prospero calls forth Ceres, Iris and Juno ‘from their confines to enact [his] present fancies’ (The Tempest IV: 1) and to bless the union of Miranda and Ferdinand by their presence, so Ted commands


Sun and Moon and all their family stand
Around an
[sic] new-born babe, in England.
One by one the Sun and Moon and Planets appear, speak their parts and present the gifts they bring ‘For one born to be King’.
 
Lois Rodden rated Ted Hughes natal chart as a "B" based on a poem he wrote to Sylvia Plath about when he met his 1st wife (Sylvia) - This is the poem:
Speculative chart, deduced from his poem which refers to his date of meeting Sylvia Plath.

"Our magazine was merely an overture

To the night and the party. I had predicted

Disastrous expense: a planetary

Certainty, according to Prospero's book.

Jupiter and the full moon conjunct

Opposed Venus, Disastrous expense

According to that book. Especially for me.

The conjunction combust my natal Sun,

Venus pinned exact on my mid-heaven."

...................

"That conjunction, conjunct my Sun, conjunct

With your ruling Mars. And Chaucer

Would have pointed to that day's Sun in the Fish

Conjunct your Ascendant exactly

Opposite my Neptune and fixed

In my tenth House of good and evil fame.

......That day the solar system married us


Whether we knew it or not."

Using wide orbs, on the date they met, Jupiter at 25 Leo conjunct the full Moon at 4 Virgo were conjunct his Sun at 24 Leo and Neptune at 3 Virgo; conjunct her Mars at 21 Leo. "That day's Sun in the Fish .... in my Tenth House," puts his Neptune in the 4th house.

The only planet that does not fit is "Venus pinned exactly on my mid-heaven" as transit Venus was at 17 Aries. The Astrological Journal 5/1988, "time estimated as 3:30 AM" gives an MC of 17 Ari
