I once when into the Exploratorium in SF, and they had these blocks in a bin (to mix them up) that you took out radomly, and there were these rules for how you combined them based on colot. This little experiment created some eery sentences.

So... we've got 12 sign archtypes, we've got twelve houses (and we look at them from the solar and ascending perspective: what is going on inside vs external). We've got the planets in aspect and transit.

Now each of the houses are drawn up so that conflicting houses oppose each other: career vs family/roots, ego vs significant relationships with others, etc.

The planets wind their way around the chart at varying periodicity and sometimes in retrograde ostensibly resonating with these houses. Additionally, the planets represent primal forces (e.g. Jupiter = expansion. Saturn = restriction).

Leaving out natal aspects and complex transits (trines, squares, oppositions, etc), and forecasting the evolution of your personal awareness and status, the forces, traits, & challenges are just general enough to send some shivers up your spine:)

I have found this to be true with the slower planets--pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, & Neptune--especially.

And it really isn't any weirder than paying some shrink 85 bucks an hour to help you work through the same stuff.

The scientific method is the best way yet discovered for winnowing the truth from lies and delusion. The simple version looks something like this:

1. Observe some aspect of the universe.
2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that is consistent with what you have observed.
3. Use the hypothesis to make predictions.
4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations and modify the hypothesis in the light of your results.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no discrepancies between theory and experiment and/or observation.

When consistency is obtained the hypothesis becomes a theory and provides a coherent set of propositions which explain a class of phenomena. A theory is then a framework within which observations are explained and predictions are made.

Astrology uses science; but it is not a science.

Well- since the actual stars have precessed around the pole over the last 4000 years since the 12 sign system was developed the fact is that every sun sign is a now month out of date. Astrologers still calculate from the First Point of Aries instead of the current March equinox location in Pisces. I think this explains horoscopes very well.

Science uses absolutes, horoscopes are the farthest from that..

no, not everything can be explained by science. there is still way to mutch of this universe we do not know about.
