This happened last night. But I Googled the guy in question (Martin Gore / Depeche Mode guitarist and keyboardist) and I was RIGHT.

My family knows I'm into Astrology and my mom believes in the little of what I have told her about/talked about countless times. We're so close so we tell each other everything and she completely respects my beliefs. Before me, she only knew that she had a Sun sign but I have opened up a whole new world for her even though she doesn't research anything herself. It's super cool though. Sun sign is like what only 90% of people know so that's of course why there are so many disbelievers, they have little to no idea that it's so much more and that the planets have a huge influence on us.

I personally find it kind of sad, in a sense of close-mindedness/ignorance, but not everyone in the world is going to believe in the same thing or be interested in the same thing, so I try and learn to accept it. It's hard though, lol because it's like there is a whole other 'world' outside, but so few are interested enough to explore off the beaten path and discover it for themselves.

I'm trying my best not to care if people think it or I'm crazy for my beliefs. I just look at them and laugh for not trying to open their minds to the possibilities of things to which they think don't exist but have no solid, concrete proof to back it up to me as to why it doesn't. I know Astrology is not recognized as a true science, but it almost doesn't need to be, it is what it is and it's sure more than enough for me to believe.

Its fun proving people wrong and convincing them to study it. My sister thought I was crazy until I explained her birth chart to her and freaked her out.

My hubs just rolled his eyes. Like "whatever"... well boo to him! I know what's up! *lol*

Yeah, Martin is a Leo and Andrew looks like a typical Cancer.

Story of my life to have many deep and hard core skeptics in my life, my spouse included. He says some very mean things, so I don't go into it really. I had two very staunch Catholics friends almost foam at the mouth over the near mention of astrology.

Bit by bit I have been exploring astrology with my Sag son (when my husband's not around.) He was immoderately interested in the Chinese astrology reading that came on a placemat at a restaurant years ago...and one thing has been leading to another.

I use it so much and see events unfold in ways that known interpretations haven't covered.

I've had thoughts like "Uranus is currently squaring your Mercury right now, so don't expect to always make sense or for the people around you to remain the same" etc. LOL

Most of my friends aren't too into astrology, nothing passed sun signs anyway, but they accept my interest and support it. They'll end up giving me people's birth info to look at their natal charts and explain it to them. I've noticed the more I explain, the more interested people become because it always tends to ring true.

I think Depeche Mode is universally accepted as being amazing.

I love ASTROLOGY and intend on using it in my practice as a psychologist.

Yeoooo! Me too, I'm going to major in psychology, I think Astrology and Psychology are closely related in a way. Like, there's no major in college called 'Astrology', so I'm doing psych. Of course, there's 'Astronomy', but that's really not an interest of mines because it doesn't really explain why we act the way we do based on the sky.
