Ok, I'd have to go back and read all this again, to remember what 
Firenze said. But, I was thinking. The way you just described it, it 
almost make me think, maybe the centars can predict larger events, 
like say wars breaking out, or bad things happening on a world wide 
scale, things like that.

It seems to me, I don't know, larger events would be more ruled by the 
stars, and more local events, like a baby being born would be more 
ruled by closer things. Like a human making a prophecy....meh, I don't 
know if that means anything. Its something I was just thinking about 
when I read your post.
