          *** Questions about astrology and the law ***

9.1) Is it legal to practice astrology where I live, and, if not,
      what can be done about it?

Answer: In many states, provinces, and municipalities, the
practice of astrology is illegal. The Legal Information Committee
of the Association For Astrological Networking (AFAN) is active
in having repealed those laws that forbid astrological practice.

For information about existing laws, their application, and
action against them, and for advice about what to do if you find
yourself in legal trouble, see the following resources, which
are all hosted by the Association for Astrological Networking.
Their site is at http://www.afan.org/
