"One day, the world will wake up and realise that astrology is the only unifying theory of any value. It explains everything. Astrology only falls down through the inelegancy of those that explain it, but it’s not their fault. It’s the lazy theoreticians who demand that you justify your ‘belief’. I don’t believe in astrology, I understand it. That’s very different. I wonder at that too. So many people I know are concerned to ‘prove’ astrology. I say turn it on its head. Have the naysayers disprove it. Not one of them, brittly empowered Dawkins-disciples that they are could manage it. Isaac Newton, lauded for being the finest scientific mind the world has ever seen was convinced – through his own study – of astrology’s validity. Of course, in that, world’s finest mind or not, he must have been feeble minded. There is no astrology! Well in that case (I had this conversation a while back) there is no psychology. But (the naysayer protested) of course there is psychology! Everyone has behaviour! Confusing cause and effect is easy for those who are ignorant. I mean ignorant in the fundamental sense that they deny the validity of a theory that they do not understand. People do not deny psychology because they make a connection beyween the cause (psychology) and the effect (behaviour). And they’ve heard other people, scientific types talk about it, so there’s no need to be any kind of layman psychologist here. They do not claim to understand the psychology, but they accept it. Of course, psychology is rife with interdisiplinary division: nature or nurture, behaviourism or psychoanalysis, Freud or Jung. The list goes on, rather like religion, they can’t all be right! But regardless, something causes behaviour. Psychology or astrology? Well, not astrology, they say, despite not possessing a single cogent thought on the subject. Empty heads powering empty opinions. I pay them no attention. Ironically their astrology circumscribes both their scepticism and their empty opinion-mongering. I used to be quite opinionated myself too, once, don’t get me wrong. Then I began to work out just how hermetically the seal was formed between the empty jar of opinion and the crowning lid of nativity. And I have Mars in Sagittarius, so I can espouse. I’m good at espousing, but I draw the line at pontificating, having neglectfully sacrificed too many hours to hearing out pontificators."Love this

there's one source of knowlege that's able to surpase astrology and that's out intuition.
it'd be best if it could be just every man for himself, (ie. looking inward for answers)
astrology, psychology, philosophy, politics, etc all those are saying the same thing, that there's ONE approach that we should be taking.
all of them also try to forcfully impose their ideas as law with formalities being their certificate giving them the authority to do so.
the only place that's always safe to look for answers is youself...
idk though..IP: Logged |

Sorry. The stars are not fate. The stars are projections of our psyche that work because of syncronicity, not because the planets control us. Astrology is one of 50,000,000,000 different ways to attain the same thing, and that is faith in God.If you think planets rule your behavious, well....even if there were no planets, and only earth, you'd still be horny.
Sorry, that's a fact....

An astrologer once said that refusing to believe in astrology because it could not possibly be true is like saying a hummingird does not flap its wings 80 times per second because it cannot possibly be true. Look at the fact that it is true first, and *then* focus on trying to find out how it could be.IP: Logged |

Like I said...astrology cannot be used to predict the future because that's true. People have been using it for 10,000 years and not a single person has predicted the future once...they've made foreboding warnings about cyclical things that happen all the time...on the other hand...astrology is a complete projection of the human psyche and the year in which a person is born is the characteristics he aquires, of that year kind of like a wine... now if you prove to me the winning loto number, or who will be the next president fifty years from now...then i can see how astrology can be used to predict and make decisions...however that has never been happened.

Its a pretty known thing that the moon affects the tides...why is astrology such a stretch?

I'm not saying it doesn't affect...i'm saying not the way that you all think, in a direct fated way..it's more like how the moon affects the tide, but doesn't create it.IP: Logged |

I'm pretty successful at predicting goalscorers (including defenders) in football matches, and horses too. It does work. It's just that not too many want this information out as it would make life too predictable.If astrology can predict personality, it can sure act like a like a personal clock. IP: Logged | |
