Thinker: I do the exact same thing! Too funny! Now if we can just get everyone else to do it too!

Eleventy: You're not implying that the thousands of different religions and gods are as fake as astrology are you? That would shake my entire worldview. Please say it ain't so!

Certainly does! That's why when someone asks my starsign I tell them the wrong one and watch them carry on telling me how they knew I was that starsign because of this trait and that trait....After 10 minutes I tell them I made it up...then give them another false one....

While I don't believe in astrology personally, I will defend it by saying that newspaper horoscopes are nothing like astrology. Those horoscopes presume everyone under the same sign will have the same future! Astrology is a very complex system which attempts to judge influences (not specific future outcomes) revolving around a single person or event based upon the placement of a variety of bodies sometimes on a variety of days. An astrologer won't just ask for your zodiac sign: they'll need the specific day and year of your birth (because planetary alignments are different every year) and preferably the exact time of your birth as well. It can be very intensive.

Yes and no. The fact that fakes exist doesn't negate astrology.
After all if it did, a fake christian, or a bad one, could negate that whole religion. ...... ok, I'll leave it at that and be nice.
I don't read them. I've never found one that even came close and besides that, I feel I'd jinx myself if it said something bad would happen. I sometimes glance at them at the end of the day if one comes to hand.

No I don't believe in that astrology stuff in the newspaper. The things that are written there are too generalized and can apply to most everyone in any situation.

The astrology in the paper follows no rules except that of someone "thunk" this"
Some say that true astrology and numerology is based on very specifics and very accurate.
I wouldn't know if it is though.

it proves that it is not a definite thing ,it has many answers to one situation ,and yes it is real but not in the sense of predicting in newspapers for people in general. its also a hit or miss form of entertainment.

I am not discounting astrology per se, but
those horoscopes you see in the paper and in magazines, etc, are pure nonsense.
One time mine was "if you feel like you're on a treadmill to nowhere, you're probably right". I was so p.o.'d I stopped listening to them!!!!!! geeez...

It's silly. Of course people just sit at their desks making up vague descriptions and "predictions".
