Twins in Astrology: Born At the Same Time But Different Fates?

A discussion about the issue of twins in astrology, and how astrologers deal with the birth charts of two people who are born at the same time, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Adam Elenbaas.

If the premise of natal astrology is that the alignment of the planets at the moment a person was born will indicate their character, future, and fate, then this naturally raises the question of what about people who were born close together in time and have essentially the same birth chart?

During the course of the discussion we explore this issue from both a technical and philosophical perspective, first explaining how even two charts born close in time are not always the same, and how even the same chart can have different manifestations depending on the context and environment a person was born into.

Later we delve into issues about how people with the same charts can manifest the placements in different ways based on the choices a person makes.
