Can your star sign influence you into a car accident?

If astrologers are to be believed, there is a chance that your astrological chart could influence your chances of having a car accident.

One car insurance site has gone so far as to publish Car Carma, which claims to be "a fun-filled, information-packed book, that tells you why, and which drivers, based on their Astrological signs get more tickets, or have more car accidents."

While this tends to be reported in the press as meaning that Geminis are the most likely to be involved in a road traffic accident, especially those in blue cars, most astrologers who care about the art would wince at the damage this does to their practice. This is because they believe there is more to the art than the habit of newspapers of printing predictions based only on the sun sign, ignoring the other planets.

There is a little more sensitivity to the idea that someone may find that the transit of Mars through their chart may bring waves of martial energies, and this can bring on irritability, hurry, and low-level rage that could be influential on the possibility of being involved in a car crash that leads to personal injury or whiplash.

One astrologer warns that someone with a Taurean accent to their chart may be prone to being absorbed in their own world, rather than the complex social activity of driving in traffic. She adds that such drivers should keep aware of external Taurean energies as the sign's governing planets move through the skies, and take preventative measures to keep their focus wide while driving to avoid the possibility of being in a collision.

UK law is yet to recognise the significance of such beliefs in settling personal injury claims, but readers may find the information useful in avoiding such an event.
