ASTROLOGY IS BIGOTRY
by Bob Steiner ©2004

Bigotry, n. Prejudgment of a person based upon an accident of birth over which the person has no control, and which has no scientific validity. Bob Steiner

The above seems to be a reasonable working definition of bigotry as it regards the prejudgment of human beings.

When one person evaluates another for a job, jury selection, criminal guilt, membership in an association, or any of several other areas of life, based upon the color of the person's skin, the person's religion, or the color of the person's eyes, there is a storm of protest. "Bigotry! Racism!" are the cries.

And yet, when one human being evaluates the worth of another based upon an accident of birth--the date of birth, it is accepted. It is called astrology.

Friends, astrology is bigotry. That is a clear, demonstrable fact.

At issue in our discussion of astrology is not whether astrology is bigotry. Astrology is bigotry. Rather, we are addressing whether you wish to defend bigotry, whether you wish to base your life on bigotry.

Practitioners, some of whom are frauds and most of whom are sincere, cast horoscopes--fancy charts devoid of useful meaning. They profess to interpret the horoscopes, in order to gather and dispense great wisdom.

In repeated scientific tests to attempt to validate its efficacy, the bunkum called astrology has failed miserably.

Before dismissing astrology out of hand, most assuredly we should acquaint ourselves with the characteristics that are attributed to us. We should also see with whom we share our birth signs.

Linda Goodman's Sun Signs has sold millions of copies. From that we surmise that she is an authority on astrology. In her book, for each sign she has a section on "How to Recognize [that sign]." We shall take a quote from here and a snippet from there, in order that you may learn about either 1) yourself and your characteristics, or (not and) 2) the inconsistency and contradictions of this ancient wisdom called astrology. Please understand that what we point out in Goodman's book is not unique. Rather, it is representative of what you will find in most books touting astrology, as well as in most books selling other mystical bunkum.

All quotations in the remainder of this article are from Linda Goodman's Sun Signs; citations are page numbers.

ARIES the Ram, March 21st through April 20th.

The ram is conscious only of himself (4).
His needs come first (4).
Aries is concerned with the world only as it relates to himself (5).
You can look for a liberal attitude, lavish generosity with both time and material things (6).
There's little that's graceful about the ram (6).
The ram can also be the epitome of social grace (10).

Are you getting the idea that if you read enough you will run across virtually all facets of all behavior patterns? Bingo! The above contradictions are separated in Goodman's text, so that you will not stumble upon them without some effort. That is what attracts people to astrology in the first place: the idea that they can get simple and immediate answers to life's complex problems without effort.

You will be pleased to know that you share your birth sign with Adolf Hitler.

Call me biased, but I base what I know off of observation, and this is what I have observed. My theory is that the time of year you are born in dictates your personality based more on seasonal affects. Gemini is very dual, born dead center in the year and this comes out in a very polarized two sided attitude. They tend to be a little bit of everything, aggressive, passive, outrageous and subdued, and usually extreme whichever mood they're in. Aries are generally more continually aggressive, and generally have a need for attention and a quick temper. This is also lent to the seasons that happen in their formative years. But really, it's all speculation!

Aries is a fire sign.... needs action in his life .. he is a go getter, dangerous, and wild ...smart as they come... usually a risk taker...
Aries needs an aquarius .. as she is an air sign and air feed fire... she is just the thing he needs to keep him interesed... she is unconventional and wild

Aries and Gemini are not an ideal match

Leo adult males are very fierce and proud. they could be able to come back out as conceited notwithstanding this is in basic terms their staggering self assurance of themselves. with the intention to shop your Leo guy satisfied, take care of him like a king, and in go back, he will take care of you want a queen. bathe him with compliments. praise him at the same time as he does something solid. :)
