Astrology

[ThePeaGuy]

Does anyone here believe in astrology or think that it's complete bullshit?<p>Now, I'm not entirely against astrology, providing it's done for shits and giggles -- harmless fun. But what I'm dead against is the talentless asshats who make a career out of it, monopolizing those weak-willed individuals who are easily seduced by such tripe.<p>Astrology is not a science, it's a fantasy, just like tarot card-reading, tea leaf-reading, fortune telling, etc.<p>Wake up and smell the tea leaves. :p<p><p>[size=small][Edit by ThePeaGuy on [TIME]1127487813[/TIME]][/size]

This is an explanation of my starsign, Pisces (I was born on March 1st).<p><blockquote>Pisceans possess a gentle, patient, malleable nature. They have many generous qualities and are friendly, good natured, kind and compassionate, sensitive to the feelings of those around them, and respond with the utmost sympathy and tact to any suffering they encounter. They are deservedly popular with all kinds of people, partly because their easygoing, affectionate, submissive natures offer no threat or challenge to stronger and more exuberant characters. They accept the people around them and the circumstances in which they find themselves rather than trying to adapt them to suit themselves, and they patiently wait for problems to sort themselves out rather than take the initiative in solving them. They are more readily concerned with the problems of others than with their own.</blockquote> <p>Now, I don't mind reading some of this stuff since some of this does (coincidentally) apply to my personality, but I'm not prepared to go any more farther than that and revolve my life around the constellations of the stars and such, like most astrologers do.<p>I think it's stupid to pay for some horoscope phone line just to find out what your day will be like, as none of the readings make any bit of sense at all. And this is coming from a 24/7 loon.<p><p>[size=small][Edit by ThePeaGuy on [TIME]1127487864[/TIME]][/size]

I don't necessarily belive it's true but it is an interesting topic. It is however a Pseudo science... I'm a libra

I think it's a "science" steeped in ancient myth and medieval ideas, essentially worthless other than for entertainment. It's heavily flawed and the reason why horoscopes seem to apply to people is because they're so broad that most people fit at least some of the horoscope's criteria.

This thread makes me think of a lady I know in Italy who does believe in astrology...and we'll say she's 7 slices short of a whole pizza.
