Astrology.

[Eisenwurst]

I know there's a few guys on the GT forum that are believers in the "Stars" and their influence on peoples characters etc.

I believe there's something in it but don't go the " whole hog " as it were.

I'd be interested in what the rest of you think.

!. Burn the Witch.

2. You're all mad.

3.There's something in it.

4. Firm believer.

I remember in basic training this guy from Maine was a Wiccan. He "read" palms in fact he was just an observant person and listened to conversations which is how he "knew" so much about people.

I've met plenty of people the same sign as me (Sagittarius) who are in no way shape or form similar to my personality.

Way back when I see the logic in such thinking. If the world is the center of the universe surely the moon and the stars in the night sky are a way for the gods to tell us things.

"The fault, dear Stealhead, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

"O, 'swear not by the moon, the' inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circle orb," Everything predicted for my sign always becomes strangely so...tis' weird and even a little fishy but then I'm a Pisces.

My "ex" was really into it.

Nothing but just another way to give people an excuse not to think for themselves.
A waste of time at best, a waste of money and loss of free thinking at worst.

Although, the Moon does in fact influence our behavior.

[Eichhörnchen]

Betonov's afterthought there is perhaps telling. Isn't it pretty much accepted that the moon's phases affect some people? And a force powerful enough to create the tides on earth must likely touch us in other ways, so is it such a leap to imagine that planets might also exert some influence on our neural development in the womb?

Of course that may all be so much bs; I never look at these forecasts or give any credence to them as far as "foretelling" things goes because in my view that side of it is most definitely bs, so I guess I'm somewhat on the fence with you, eisenwurst.

Which has to do with Astronomy, not Astrology.

Interesting read about the "effects" of the moon cycle. I agree when something has been myth for thousands of years it tends to stick.

I can see the dangers in that.

That's 9/10s of all Wiccan really, knowledge of things taking place around you, be it peoples behaviour, animal behaviour or plantlife behaviour. Knowing what herbs make what remedies and so forth. Just a basic grounding in natural behaviour.

Of course, for this Vincent Price and Ecuador his horse will visit you.
