Astrology

[BlueBalls]

Great post.

If anybody knows someone who is "searching" for meaning - or might be looking for answers from psychics at a vulnerable time (death of a loved one perhaps) point to them to this guy. He has some great clips on you tube. I introduced my kids to him when they first started to get scared by ghost movies etc. Penn and Teller do some great stuff but there is always the problem of language with the kids.

Anyway astrology is a gateway for a whole host of scam merchants who rip off the vulnerable. Anything that makes it go away is great by me.

Agreed.

James Randi does excellent work debunking this stuff.

No I dont believe that people are predestined to act a certain way depending on a "sign"

Just another example of a rather insignificant animal life form attempting to put themselves into the forefront of the entire universe by making themselves believe that the positions of astronomical bodies are only important from their single-minded perspective.

Agreed. Vain human attempt to understand the unexplained but defining themselves based on arbitrary positioning of the stars from earth's perspective at the time of one's birthday. Pseudo-scientific hokum if you ask me...

Just remember that astrology is based on stars and planets that have no relationship with each other. In the case of the stars they are literally trillions of miles apart. If you were on a planet halfway across our galaxy and on another plane of the ecliptic the constellations that we see here on earth would not exist.

It's ludicrous to think they have any meaning.

beautifully discussed

ok you have sun,moon,jupiter ,saturn and mercury all in virgo!

you criticise people a lot!

you have venus in leo,
tom Cruise has venus in Leo, which is 'showing off about a relationship'
e.g. jumping on Oprahs sofa
Your partner has to pay you a lot of attention

Your Neptune in sagitarrious is square your sun, so that means:
you may gravitate towards the 'wrong crowd',
daydreaming about being important,
an unstructured childhood?

Your neptune is also square your moon which means-
you like to live in a world of imagination and dreams

Moon in Virgo -
you like to feel useful-
and you are skeptical

Mercury conjunct Jupiter
'gift of the gab' Billy Mays R.I.P. had mercury conjunct jupiter too.

Jupiter conjunct saturn-
you take your objectives to the bitter end
patient, hard working

Jupiter Square Neptune
often fooled by people
youre a dreamer

Saturn in Virgo
possible misuse of medicines
capable of long-term studies

June 3, 1979. This makes me a gemini, the sign of the twins.

Half of me wants to believe it, the other half doesn't. :yinyang:

Oh the irony is delicious.

I think astrology is all a load of bollocks, typical Gemini I guess!

Not only that, because their light takes so long to reach us, they aren't even where they appear to be.

Hitler used an astrologer too.
