Great, thank you for responding, I have some questions:
1. Who were the 6 astrologers that helped you with the test, and what certifications and training do they have in astrology, how long have they been studying it, and what traditions or approaches do they specialize in? Also what background in previous scientific tests of astrology do they have? You have said that hardly any astrologers volunteered to design this test for you, and only these 6 did, which hangs a lot of emphasis on the qualifications of these 6 astrologers given that you have no background or interest in the subject. Are they actually people that would be considered professional astrologers, or are they just enthusiasts?
2. Given your complete lack of background or interest in the subject of astrology, do you think there could be any flaws in the design or administration of the test that might arise from this? Do you think it is common scientific practice for people who are conducting ostensibly scientific studies to have little to no familiarity with the subject they are studying when they are the ones designing the test? Do you have anyone that is actually trained in the subject overseeing your administration of the test to check for issues that may arise as as result of your lack of understanding?
3. What controls do you have in place in order to ensure that only qualified astrologers are taking the test, and are you filtering at all for things like approach, length of time studying astrology, certifications, professional experience, or other factors that anyone would normally use to gauge who is taking the test and what their qualifications are versus just random people? I've noticed some people replying in your threads saying that they are not astrologers but they have still taken the test.
4. If as you say in the post I'm responding to that astrologers only need to it right 35% or 50% of the time in order for it to be statistically significant and better than chance, then why in the announcement and on the test signup page does it say that in order to "win" the test and the prize money that the astrologer has to get 11 out of 12 answers right, which is 90%? Why was this metric of 11 out of 12 set so high compared to the 6 of 12 of chance?
5. Lastly, why was the threshold set so high where they have to compare and identify 1 chart out of 5 given, when something more simple like 1 out of 2 or even 1 out of 3 would have been sufficient? Thus multiplies the number of variables and false positives way beyond what is necessary in order to detect a statistical significance, and just seems designed to make it unnecessarily harder than it needs to be for astrologers to pass what should otherwise be a much more simple test. Why did you design the test to be harder than necessary in this way?

I'm really excited to tell you that we've just launched Clearer Thinking's Astrology Challenge! We'd love it if you'd share it with astrologers you know or share it on social media to get the word out! It's a scientific test of astrological skill that any astrologer in the world can take. We developed it by working closely with astrologers who generously volunteered their time to help. It consists of 12 multiple-choice questions. For each, you'll presented with tons of information about a real person, as well as 5 astrological charts, and your goal is to say which of the 5 natal charts is that person's real chart (the other 4 charts are random and have nothing to do with that person). If you're the first to get at least 11 out of 12 multiple choice questions correct (among the first 200 challengers), then you win a $1000 prize! Participation is completely secret, so nobody will know you participated unless you choose to announce it. After the challenge closes, we'll tell you how many questions you got right on the test, as well as whether you won.
Fundamentally, astrology is based on the hypothesis that the position/movement of the celestial bodies influences people's lives and characters. Many (though not all) astrologers say that by reading a person's natal astrological chart, they can glean important insights about that person's character and/or life. This challenge helps serve as a direct scientific test of that concept. If (without cheating, of course) astrologers can identify which natal chart belongs to each person far more often than would occur by random guessing, that will be very strong evidence in favor of astrological effectiveness.
Why did we develop this test of astrological skill? There are a few reasons. First of all, we previously ran a test of sun sign astrology (i.e., the idea that whether you're a Pisces, Aries, etc., impacts your life) and found that sun signs were not able to predict any of the 37 life outcomes that we tested. Although sun sign astrology is extremely popular (about 1 in 3 Americans at least somewhat believe in it), astrologers rightly pointed out that the study was not a test of astrology as most astrologers practice it since they use much more complex methods involving full astrological charts. This inspired the development of this test, which is based on whole charts.
Does it matter whether astrology is real? In my opinion, it does. If astrology works, then that calls for a revolution in our scientific understanding of how the universe operates since modern physics provides no mechanism that could explain astrology. In such an instance, it would also teach us something important about scientific bias and what scientists miss. On the other hand, if astrology doesn't work at all, I also think that is very important because astrology is extremely widely believed. Literally millions of people use it to guide their understanding of their lives, character, and future. If it doesn't work, they'd be better off seeking other sources of understanding and insight.
The link to take part in the challenge is right below in the comments. As mentioned, we'd love it if you'd share this test with astrologers you know or post it on social media to help us get the word out!

General astrological advice for today:
Don't try to manifest anything, unless you’re willing to pay the price of chaos in your own life.
Very chaotic energy, best to just sit back and watch what the universe has planned for you.

This is indeed the case. The eclipse is “energetically positive” to such a large extent that I’ve refrained talked about it because there is too much to say. It is an intensely good thing.
