That's bs. My chart is almost all fixed and I definitely believe in astrology.Astronomers used to be astrologers too. The separation between the two with them slamming astrology is a relatively recent phenomenon. IP: Logged |

It's probably because astrology isn't really science. It has validity for some people, but it isn't science.IP: Logged |

Astronomers focus on the physics which is science, astrologers on the metaphysics which is more poetic and metaphoric. It's similar to how psychiatrists look at the neurology while psychologists (the counselor kind) look at the person and the experiences that shaped them. IP: Logged |

Which astonomers "bash" it? I research a lot of astronomy stuff, so I am curious about why you posted this question. I love both astronomy and astrology. They are both incredibly interesting to me.IP: Logged |
