If this was in EoEO I would go into great detail why Astronomy is nonsense.

Astrology. And I would have said, "I agree with the Cap'n."

I have to be the voice of reason here that confirms that astrology is a whole bunch of crap made up every week by fat 35-yo virgins in their mother's basement.

Astrology 101

1. Be as vage as you can be, that way the suckers get pulled in.
2. try not to remind anyone that tens of millions of people are born on the same day, as then they would start to question whether it applies to them all, instead of just them.
3. try to make some money off of it when you can.
4. Will propably only work on females.

Well, what you're referring to is mainstream Sun Sign astrology.

Those horoscopes that you see in newspapers, and magazines and such are really just...awful. 99.9% of the astrological community completely disagree with those horopscopes found in mass-media publications. I don't know what their problem is, but those people do seem to have only money on their mind.

I believe in astrology because, personally, i've found most of it true. Not what I read in the newspaper, but when I actually researched astrology and learned what it's really about. Astrology is the oldest modern "science" (and I use the term loosely) in the world, so there must be some kind of truth behind it if it's been practiced for thousands of years. You can't write off astrology as being totally bogus until you at least give it a chance.

But hey, it's your beleifs, and no one's forcing you to believe it.

Time to flex the old Sheldon.

I'm a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know.

Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun's apparent posi<b></b>tion relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.

I'm sorry but no, I'm NOT letting this one slide. The age of a given tradition (and it is a tradition, there's no peer reviewing going on in Astrology) has absolutely zero bearing on whether or not it has any worth whatsoever. There's a lot more to be said about the sciences behind Genetics than the pseudo-science of Astrology, and it's only a couple of decades old which is a child in comparison. Yet it's done a lot more for us than Astrology has in a millennia. You shouldn't even use the term loosely, you should just not use it at all. Astrology is a belief, just like Christianity or Judaism or Islam or Scientology or any number of unsubstantiated ideas and theories.

[Aerith's Knight]

The problem I have with this is that people seem to think its a real science!

1. It has never been proven.
2. It is constantly proven wrong.
3. It has no actual scientific basis, other then people assigning solar positions to something(which they make up).

It blemishes the good name of science(as in physics). Astronomy is science.. Astrology.. is fortune telling and such..

fortune telling itself is impossible, as quantum physics tells us that you cant predict the future, just the propability of something happening.. and every person is different in character, so that would be one huge generalization.

edit: Hell yeah Capt. maxx power.. i agree.

this is all meaningless unless you're also consulting the planets and major near-by stars.

Darn you, Captain Maxx, darn you to Heck!

But yeah, you're right on those points. It's really all just a matter of belief and opinion. I'm just gonna bow out gracefully and wave the white flag!

But I still think astrology is true.

this is all meaningless unless you're also consulting the planets and major near-by stars.

Well, of course you have to consult the other planets! Astrology is meaningless without them!

I have my Sun in Virgo, but that doesn't tell you much if I don't tell you I have Sagittarius Rising, or Moon in Capricorn, or Venus in Leo, Mars in Libra, etc.
