Astrology: Your thoughts

So, what do you think of Astrology? Do you believe in it, do you think it's useless, or do you think it plays an interesting role in society?

Personally, I posted my thoughts in another thread (and I thought that moving the conversation here would make much more sense):

quote:

Originally posted by Lira in this thread To me, Astrology is just a tool of social interaction, so although ideally some signs shouldn't be compatible, in reality it doesn't mean much (if anything), unless both people involved believe deeply in this. Just as Chinese Astrology... remember that thread I posted? Both my girlfriend and that other girl are Sheep (the girl is Earth Sheep and my girlfriend is Metal Sheep). And I'm a Water Dog, and dogs and sheep get along pretty well. See my point?

You?

While there are some aspects of Astrology that may be true, I think the whole, "Am I compatible or not?" thing isn't. You're compatible with who you're compatible with, no matter when they were born.

Sometimes I really want to believe in it. It's really applicable & some of the things are scarily true, but I know deep down that they know whatever they write will apply to some people some of the time.


my 2 stars for the moment

You have just come through one of the worst war zones you could ever have imagined in either your personal or working life. However, you are now in a position to move forwards and create a much happier life for yourself because you are no longer prepared to be dragged down by any one or any thing. You have definitely had your eyes opened about the true character of a certain person and have a right to feel disillusioned by their compulsive lying. But you do have some fantastic friends and family around you who are all relieved that you have seen the light and have not lost all, which you have worked for. A new romance could also commence very soon that will prove lasting and fulfilling. There are blue skies ahead, so keep smiling.

all well & good, but we're underneath storm clouds for the near future, so unless the met office is lying, these are wrong Other bits do seem to make sense though.

quote:

You will begin to feel restless and dissatisfied at work and may feel an urgency to jump ship and look for a new job or business venture. Its as though you want to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start, putting the past behind you in both your professional and personal life. If you are still feeling angry because your partner has dumped you or just refuses to listen to your point of view, there is nothing you can do other than to move on and get on with things. Take care that you don�t deplete your savings on rash expenditure that is totally unnecessary just because you feel the need to indulge in some retail therapy. Someone soon who will want to become seriously involved with you may approach you, but are you ready for yet another heavy relationship, or would you feel happier just playing the field?

yeah, as if anyone wants me

Like I said, I believe in it to a certain extent, but I don't live my life by it. It has it's moments where it's true, but then the next week a different sign will have the same horoscope.

Nonsense.

This applies for the casual crowd. As for the hardcore believers, I think it's just a sort of self fulfilling prophecy. They're unfounded beliefs, but some people believe in them so much that they make them true.

I'll entertain the notion for fun but I dont believe it.

I find that the Chinese astrology tends to lend itself to me better. I am a Tiger, and I find that many of the characteristics of the tiger are more in tune with me rather than the traditional zodiac signs

Plus, I'd rather be a tiger than a fish

I think astrology/clairvoyants etc may be useful psychological tools. They usually provide sound generalised advice. Or make people think about parts of their personality they need to improve. That's about it though.

Bag of wank.

I rate it higher than Scientology or Creationism on the believability scale.

But overall, it is more entertainment than anything believable.


MrS

Wouldn't everyone who was born on the same day or year be exactly the same?

i believe it ... daily advice dosent hurt anyone

just another invention to fleace the gullible and stupid of their hard-earned coin.

i have never read anything even remotely believable describing how the heavens might affect things as peculiar as personality :haha. i pity the people that take any of it seriously.

Try a few random ones...

pfft, no fighting dirty who do they think I am!

It's easy to go to extremes, but much healthier if you make an effort not to do so. Make an effort to keep things on an even keel as much as possible. Loved ones will understand and will help you maintain this balance.

So no jumping off tall buildings with a parachute today I guess

Oh dear...

Discussions surrounding an increase in salary or benefits may present some insights into a technique to reach your goals. You always see the positive and with a new plan on your mind, you will see good things develop in future business success. Turn about fair play brings you around to helping another person; family member perhaps, to develop his or her plans for future business success. All this brainwork may culminate in sharing a meal together. There is an opportunity to visit with the young people in your family that you have not had a chance to get to know. Laughter is one of the best healers and you may be able to teach a young person how to take life a little easier. Encouraging volunteer work is a big plus for your today.

I'll volunteer someone else to jump off the building instead!

Good greif what an ambiguous crock of poo...

Utter bollocks. It is however, a handy compatibility tool - If she believes in it, then I steer clear of her. Bam!

i always get confused. am i supposed to read my horrorscope and try to live my day like it says?

or do i read it at the end of the day and see if it was right?

Can anyone tell me what kind of chinese animal you would be if you were born in 1986?

My knowledge of chinese animals leads me to believe it's a panda. Are there any other chinese animals?
