Daily astrology you get off a website or something is crap. It's not enough to know what day you were born..you always have to figure in where, what time, and what year if you want a real astrological profile.
My mom did this stuff her whole life and it was a LOT more math than I was ever willing to learn, but...she made birth charts for practically everyone in our family and when she died I was going through them.
They are FREAKY how spot on they are. My cousin's birth chart predicted she would fuck her cousins, for instance - and she did. Mine was too eerie to even think about.
*ps im a cancer too, you moody bastard.

what billy said.
The moon isn't even a planet, and where it is affects our entire ocean. Is it really so farfetched to believe the positions of planets might affect people, too?
I think the real folly is probably thinking we understand the effects.
*note that i am not claiming astrology is useful. People who live their lives according to it are every bit as sad as people who live their lives according to a book many thousands of years old.

nice, someone as gullible as me!

May 24: Cancer in the Brain?
There's a pull between your energy fields today. On the one hand you want to share your belief in nonsense and on the other hand you want to preserve your dignity. Saturn's moons say that you should follow your heart and ignore your head. Post your views on Evilbore and maybe whiteACID will show you her astrology tattoos. Today's lucky numbers are 6 and 9.

I just filled out one that asked my birthday, birth time, age, birth place...etc and got this:
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

Yea, that was a waste of 2 minutes. I try to convince myself that astrology is still around because of the entertainment value, but when I hear of people taking it seriously I'm unfortunately not surprised.

yeeaaaah, it really is ridiculous. how would it affect -people- indepdent of geography? sure, sunlight levels and seasonal climate shifts can create changes in seratonin and dopamine levels, but that's usually a regional thing. astrology suggests the "mystical" and any connection between celestial events and human genetics/biochemistry is purely speculative in a way that brings to mind unicorns and magickael zwackery moreso than actual scientific correlation. besides, anything that suggests a numinous human condition (lolz soulz) makes me giggle.

Its scientifically bunk. The positions of the stars have moved so much over the thousands of years since Astrology was created that any semblance of accuracy that could be there has been rendered moot.

It's up there with karma in terms of scienctific bullshit. And I believe dinosaurs still exist so you know this is some buuulllshit

Quickie:
You can restore your positive energy by treating yourself well. Give yourself space.
Overview:
It's time to stir it up. Maybe that means cleaning your house from top to bottom. Maybe that means paring down (or ramping) up your social life so that it suits your new, improved personality. Whatever it is, do it now.
I'd rather masturbate later, silly Astronomy man.

fixed for your edification. at least "karma" can be explained as a social dynamic.

I'd like to think its bullshit but what is weird is that I got a tarot reading in college for shits and giggles (a friend of mine was one of these "pagan" girls obsessed with all celtic stuff that you were talking about in an earlier post). And the lady said that I would get into a fulfilling relationship with a girl named Terri who was shorter than me with dark brown hair. And I have been seeing a girl now that fits that description. So I dunno, random coincidence. Then she mentioned "don't work in computers, you're gonna hate it! You seem like a much more outdoorsy person and you love children, you'll probably end up as a Boy Scout leader or something". Although I like the outdoors, I hate kids and I am a SW engineer for a living. So yeah, bullshit.

Astrology is just a huge venn diagram, each circle representing generalizations about people, add enough circles and you cover everything.

One of my old coworkers was hardcore into this shit and was always trying to give me readings and shit. I'd just humor her and be like "wow, that's really cool" ::)

I'm going to start my own tarot card readings and replace some of the cards with photos of OJ and Robert Goulet.

i can't imagine why you'd want to know the future. the anticipation would ruin one's life.

I always felt like Astrology is just an excuse to put blame on something other than yourself for anything that goes wrong. "Oh, I fucked up today, it must be the stars." *read newspaper* "Yeah, I shoulda seen that shit coming."
I always thought it was to give you some false courage, like "Oooh, today I'm going to be 'lucky at love', maybe I will ask my secret crush out today."
