The biggest of the astrology groups is Conjunction, and you can subscribe to Conjunction by sending a blank e-mail to conjunction-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. You can then edit your options at the Yahoo! Groups site to determine whether you want messages to the group e-mailed to you, or whether you want to read them at the website.
