Now that you mention that, Jim, I feel a POMO coming on.

  if( ! you.know.what.i.mean() ){
      browseURL("http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo")
    } else {
      stop("You know what I mean!")
  }

The structural features of horoscope and astrology texts would
readily lend themselves to implementation in such an engine.

Mind you, from my occasional browsings of these texts, I suspect
it has already been done and is widely used.

Best wishes to all,
Ted.
