@Fallible, @Scarlett: Oh jeepers, that feels a bit harsh. I wanted to hear some ideas from this community. So I signed up, found the section for new members to introduce themselves and then posted...
This feels like derisiveness, the sort of thing that can give skeptics a bad name. If there's something you have issue with, play the ball (not the player!)
@Thomas Eshuls, no I haven't read a book debunking astrology, have watched a fair bit of Richard Dawkins but found him too unscientific because he's closed-minded. I was particularly interested in Alain de Botton's work 'Religion for Athiests'.
Have you ever read about your lunar nodes? (that is a sincere question coming from me)
@Scarett #2 of course, I don't imagine anyone here is looking for a spiritual fix for anything. I like to be in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar ideas, like here!
I value the way scepticism can take on spirituality that is disempowering. Hello Skeptics from a Spiritual Person!
@monkeyboy probably 90%+ of your chart would be the same as his. So you would be predicted by astrology to have very similar attributes, tendencies, personality traits. It doesn't control how you will live your life, to me it's just synchronicty between you popping into the world and what the heavens were saying at that time. Ascendant sign (how you first appear to unfamiliar people) would definitely be different, and the angles between of the moon would have shifted to other planets. My best mate at high school was like that with me too, maybe we were similar and clicked.
