Answer 1

You put your question into the Astronomy and Space section. People who speak astrologese are unlikely to be browsing here. Try asking it in the category Society & Culture > Mythology & Folklore.

Answer 2

Excuse me, up there, but astronomy comes from the ancient study of astrology. And do any of you up there even know what a retrograde planet is?
As for influences/strengths of the planets, mister if I ever did your chart, it would knock you for a loop. I can't tell you how many times people have told me "Oh, my God, how did you know that? I've never told anyone that!" And I'm not talking your cheap textbook or newspaper garbage; I'm talking "real" astrology. Ever hear of Ptolemy? And his Tetrabiblos? The name Nostradamus ring a bell?
Did you ever hear "Astrology is not for millionaires; It's for billionaires," by J.D. Rockefeller? And you might want to check out Einstein's opinion of astrology. And there are many other famous geniuses who incorporated it into their lives. Astronomy, came much later. The only reason astrology became poo poo'd by the church and government was because they wanted to keep it to themselves; they didn't want the average joe schmo to have access to it. The Vatican still uses it, and the zodiac spans one of the floors there, where at any given hour, you can see which house the sun is shining in and where the rest of the planets are located. . Ever hear of People of the state of NY vs Evangeline Adams? Might want to check it out oh ignorant one. And then there's the the star above the stable in Bethlehem they followed. Do you suppose that was just a coincidence? Or Triple A said, Hey, follow that star!
And, of course, there was Adolf Hitler who used them, for evil rather than the benefit of humanity. Many reputable astrolgers who could, fled the country rather than assist that lunatic, ( I personally know one who escaped), because those that refused and couldn't escape, were sent to the gas chambers. And believe it or not, one of the ways America began to out manuver him was to use their own!! You might want to research that! I guess what I'm saying is, Don't judge anything you obviously know absolutely nothing about. Check it out with Einstein who said, "Do not talk to me of astrology. For I have studied it, you have not!" And believe it or not, the founding fathers (most of whom studied astrology as well) of this country chose the best date to do so by astrology! And although we have our share of problems, 200+ years later, we're still here!

Answer 3

Haha, that's hilarious. Keep in mind you're in the non BS section, a planet doesn't have strength...

Answer 4

You should go to the "Horoscopes" section to ask this question. Astronomers will otherwise consider your question to be a troll, and an unoriginal one at that.
