I think it is a load of rubbish. We Scorpios are a bit suspicious of anything like that. :lol:

I could be wrong, but I suspect this forum is of a heavily sceptical nature...

Russel Grant and Mystic Meg, two highly qualified individuals who people should base life altering decisions on.

It's as much of a pile of wank as thinking there's a big man with a beard in the sky watching over us.

In the UK Astrology is really for mad birds who live with cats :?

I do however like Astronomy but am currently selling my Telescope to fund an MJW Roadstar :D

I used to be a skeptic but this is so acurate it must be true!!

"The coming year is likely to present challenges; these trials are when your true character will show. Trusted friends can provide assistance in particularly pressing situations. Make use of the skills you have to compensate for ones you lack. Your reputation in the future depends on your honesty and integrity this year. Monetary investments will prove risky; inform yourself as much as possible. On the positive side, your chances of winning the lottery have never been greater!"

how come they didn't predict the existence of the other planets? does that mean astrology before pluto was discovered in 1930 was very inaccurate? did predictions improve after 1930? EDIT: ok, so pluto isn't a planet any more (but they didn't predict that either). same question with neptune substituted, and 1846 as the date.

weasel wording, cold reading load of rubbish, anyone who works in astrology should work in marketing

mystic meg is vegan anyway, and I like chicken, therefore she can't be trusted

Actually I was just going for a cheap laugh with my remark. I don't know enough about astrology to offer an opinion.Being generally open minded, I suspect that at the bottom of it all, there may be something in it- who knows? I certainly don't.

A cushty little number and a load of gullible chicks?

I did think once that if the moon can have an effect on the tides then all those planets may have an effect on the moods of mammals. Who knows? Certainly not Mystic bleedin Meg or her predecessor, the legendary Doris Stokes!

Hey guys...
lets do it different
Tell me your zodiacal signs.
and il tell a little about it.
Astrology came first, then Astronomy.
Its nt about the Oracle or predict something, but its about using Astrology as a Powerfull tool, to know yourself and develop your qualities. Also know how to deal with your Weak Points
Its like a S.W.O.T Analisys of your OWN Self.
Q: p
I get pretty well with most people from the following Zodiacal Signs : Gemini, Taurus, Scorpio, Libra , Cancer, Pisces.
More or less well with Leo, Sagitarius, Aquarius, Capricorn, Virgo. And i dont get well With Aries AT ALL.

(I STILL CANīT BELIEVE THAT THERE ISNT ONE SINGLE ASTROLOGUE OR SOMEONE INTO IT HERE. AHAHHAAH ) to be considered A Classic Native of any of the following 12 signs, you should have the same sign at your moon and Sun. or sun and ascendant. or ALl three
The Solar Sign is the one that you were born under it. for an example : Jack was born under the sign of Gemini. His Sun is in Gemini.   
Now the example of a Classic profile of Gemini : Sun in Gemini, Moon in gemini, ascendant in libra.  Or Sun In Gemini, Moon in scorpio And ascendant in Gemini.

Im a Classic Profile of the sign of... (i wont tell ahahaha you will have to guess)

The Moon means the way you Deal With your emotions. and the Ascendant is the your PEOPLE See You. Its kinda your Clothes. Inside it, theres your real sign.

Every Zodiacal Chart has 12 houses. 12 signs. and some aspects formed by angles.
and so goes..
And, theres the planets : Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, Sun, Moon(sun and moon are considered like planets, but they are liminaires)Pluto, Mercuryo, and the new one, chiron.
Each Planet governs and has similar characteristics than the signs. and then the houses , every one of the 12 ones, has their one meaning.

Ah, and theres 4 Ellementals

Fire, Air, Water, Earth.
Fire Signs are : Aries, Leo, Sagitarius
Air Signs are : Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water Signs are : Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Earth Signs are : Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

To be fair, Mark, I think that we still do that...

Trephenation to release evil spirits with a drill when you get a headache? I'm pretty sure the reasons for us drilling holes in skulls are a little more valid now! (Though I bet people didnt get headaches as often then! 'Whats wrong with you' 'Nothing!' 'You sure, you look a bit peaky' 'I'm fine, put the saw down!').

There are plenty more you could say anyway, like flat earth came before heliocentricity and four humours came before DNA and so on. Point is older isnt more valid, thats all.

Theres a good clip from a thing that dawkins did a while ago called 'Enemies of reason', I believe, where he confounded an astrologer by mixing up the star signs and then giving out the advice and seeing whether people felt it fit them - the reading for a random star sign was rated as about as accurate as the readings that were for their sign, and the astrologer, blissfully ignorant of the nature of intellectually honest investigation that he just saw, considered it 'perverse' and whined that they didnt include the moon phase, or something. Its quite amusing, I'll see if I can find it on youtube when I get home.

OK, I was being glib.

;)

But it's all about modelling, I reckon - in the dark ages, there was a model of demonic possession, or witchcraft, or "God", or whatever that was used to describe things that couldn't easily be understood that were encounted in their daily lives.  Drilling holes in heads might have relieved symptoms that weren't understood, therefore "demons" were released from the body.

The "theory" behind the model might suck, but the end result might be useful.  Like cognitive psychology - you're less concerned with what goes on inside the black box of the mind, more about the input and output...

Although I'm not saying that Astrology is useful in any way whatsoever!!!  Just playing devils advocate.
