Chuck:
 
Gann (and Fibonacci) constructions are aimed at identifying potential price and time targets.  In this sense, think how one uses a trendline as a area of potential support and resistance.  As you note, some approach Gann (and Fibonacci although to a lesser degree) from a metaphysical/astrological viewpoint which does not work for me.  The other way is quite systematic (e.g., square of nine) and is based on a mathematical "roadmap."
 
In my view, as with any charting technique, Gann stuff is best use used in conjunction with other tools, including Fibonacci constructions, and indicators.  The confluence of these different approaches more often than not work quite well.  As with variables in a trading system, it is not uncommon to use different methods for different markets (not one size fits all).  If you look into these techniques, you will see that many of the tools are related.  For example, the 1X1 line in a Gann Fan (and derivatives such as dynamic Gann lines) is the center line of a standard pitchfork which in turn leads one to Babson lines and so on.  However, to master these methods will take a bit of effort and access to appropriate software not unlike what is required to develop a good mechanical trading system.  Many books, Yahoo groups, newsletters, etc. provide a good starting point from which you can find your way.
