Deepa Krishnan gets a computerized horoscope run for a foreign friend and finds that future-telling is quite in tune with the present!

I found one in Churchgate, but I wasn’t quite sure how they would manage astrology for people from different time zones.

As it turned out, they were quite capable of producing charts for the British. Or for Mexicans. Or Polynesians. Or really, anyone from anywhere. The secret? The Britannica Atlas! To figure out the exact time of birth, the guy at the shop spent 15 minutes finding the towns I gave him, and then found out the latitude/longitude co-ordinates and time zone.
