Just wanted to stop by and lend some support. I have no astrology skills despite years of attempts. I could never wrap my mind around all those charts - too many numbers for me. But I do appreciate those who can crunch all that info.

Ignore the haters. I'm fascinated by the thread even if i'm unqualified to join the convo.

Forgive me for butting in, but how exactly is "astrology = false" any kind of a question?


astrology = false?

There, now it's a question. 8)


:lol:

You know, the self-proclaimed sceptics are just going to reply with "Yes, it is".

It did seem to be going in circles; perhaps we can come up with more interesting shapes for it to go in?

Yes, random is about the only place it will fit. I agree with that. Your other point I will politely ignore for now, as there's no value in playing with it.


I was joking Moog :P

I'm quite fond of tesseracts, but those are solids.

Correct! If you like astrology just for fun and don't take it seriously then fine. But if you do take it seriously, you are just plain wrong. It has 0 plausibility and 0 evidence. Sorry.


Apparently knowing this makes us bigots/ignorant AstroGeek. :lol:

You know I pasted the definitions of those words and then explained why I was using them. It was sort of more complicated than you are making out...

Maybe we should ask astrogeek to show how he came to his conclusion. Then we can decide if he is or not! :D

The implication was there. Its okay though, I forgive you. Honestly it reminds me of this thread:

Them, you and us a party game

"I'm skeptical- your bigoted- they're ignorant" :lol:

Its not really worth arguing over is it? I already apologized to you a few times for hurting your feelings in the beginning, and also lamented the laconic nature of my first post

I had the same problem. I will prolly approach making charts myself later, for now I use Astro123 (free online somewhere) and just have to make sure I get the co-ordinates and timezone right. Checking Every Damn Time I do a new chart or transit for the true timezone gets old but it's a decent app otherwise. Get a bunch of books and learn the fun stuff! I think once I can justify getting a bigger desk another bookshelf and a lot of resources I'll be able to deal with doing it myself, lol.
