@ Pisces

As I wrote in a former post I had an aunt who was really into this Astrology-
She made her own "forecast"

Remember once when I was visiting my cousin and I told him and his mom that I was about to start on course

About two days later she invited my to afternoon coffee and there she showed me some papers with lots of drawings-something about 12 houses and the 12 signs. She had made a "forecast" about the course I was about to start-if it would be a success or not.

Every time something was about to happen in the family she made a "forecast"- E.g married-after birth, new house, etc etc.

It was somehow her that made me go reading about this thing.

If people want to believe then they shall have the freedom to believe.

Look Pisces, both of you. It is impossible to find a persons future in a star that is several billion light years away, so far away it cannot see our sun as anothing but a dim point of light. You are also seeing these cstars as they were in the distnat past, light tavels so slowly in the past. You cannot see any point of light in the sky that is in the future. The future is the undiscovered country, where have I heard that before I wonder. I can change the future by simply walking out of the door tonight and not coming back. I can sell my car, which I have no intention of doing and gettin' a wreck and crashing. The future has not happened, nor will it until I finish typing, oh and see, nothing changed whist I was typing.

Believe what you will but its like religion, a stupid myth.

I for once do not believe in this - I just say if a person believe in astrology-this person should have the freedom to do so.

Agreed, the same as religion, but dont foist it on me. BUT, I still say its impossible to tell the future from stars billions of years away who have never heard of Earth, or humans. This began with fake shamen trying to justify their existence, just as people became priests for power and laziness.. By the laws of averages a person can read their 'horoscope' written by a fake in a newspaper, and get paid for it, and in 365 horoscopes, 6 might be true. And people say wow! its true, forgetting about the 359 wrong ones.

I read my tea leaves tonight, it said that Manchester United FC will finish in the top 3 next season The fact that they probablly will is overlooked in the astrological scheme of things. If its so good, give me next weeks lottery numbers BEFORE they are drawn. MY crystal ball tells me: 1.5.10.13.15.25 and 32

Again, it's not about those distant stars light years away. It's much closer to home. The motions within our solar system, compared to a earth based reference systems: the ecliptic/zodiac (the sun/earth orbit) and the tilted equatorial plane. Know of what you speak before you judge.

The future is the undiscovered country, where have I heard that before I wonder. I can change the future by simply walking out of the door tonight and not coming back.

True in essence, but what does walking away solve?

I can sell my car, which I have no intention of doing and gettin' a wreck and crashing.

Astrology doesn't suggest it is YOUR car. At best it can indicate that it is A car, or rather that it has to do with traffic in general. Other astrological elements in the chart would need to be there to suggest that it involves your property. And then it might still turn out to involve your finances, possibly in a good or bad way depending on other factors present.

The future has not happened, nor will it until I finish typing, oh and see, nothing changed whist I was typing.

Well, you wrote something, didn't you? You got your opinion published! There could be planetary positions in the zodiac and horizon suggesting that right then. But we won't know until we try it. And maybe it wasn't supposed to have a great impact on the rest of your life. Not everything does.

Same goes for atheism. Disbelieve what you will. I rather tend to agnosticism, I cannot be sure. But that doesn't prevent me from entertaining myself with it.
