Is this made up?

Fnord when I was a kid I used to wan't to be a policeman or be involved in Law Enforcement. I think that might be stressful for me nowadays because of my difficulties. You sound like an intelligent person. Thank your for your kind remarks.

I was intrigued with astrology as a child. I found some correlations. Mostly it was just a way to talk about something that would help me have friends. So I became good at the individual facets of the astrological classifications.

It worked well, to show I was interacting. I don't need that anymore. It is a fun toy, in my opinion.

And how ever much you like a toy, is your own perogative.

If astrology is true, why does every newspaper, magazine and website have a different horoscope for every day?

I suggest that you click on the final period in the "Cold Reading" I posted (the one at the end of "Your sense of justice is quite strong"). It's actually a link to an article that explains things in even greater detail.

I think you'll be surprised.

I like chinese astrology!

chinese.astrology[dot]com/rat.aspx <-- thats me! (to some degree.. ie the sign I relate to the most)

In short: According to chinese astrology every animal of the chinese zodiac has it's abilitys both good and bad and there are compatibilities.. rats play well with dragons, monkeys and other rats for instance.
I have NO belief that this has ANYTHING to do with what date ur born or the positioning of the stars though the chinese do; When it's the Year of the Monkey more children are born in China than other years cause it's a popular sign.
That's insane.

Post ur animal and guess ur girls and I shall tell thee thy fortune..

..and horoscopes suck, don't confuse it with something else.

Oh, I understand. Like I'm absolutely certain I took a shower last night, but there weren't any witnesses and I forgot to post the video on youtube.

And I can't repeat it, since it's now today I can't take a shower yesterday.

That proves I smell bad, since I'm deluded into believing I took a shower.

*snickers* Hello

As Sheldon Cooper puts it, " . . . (Astrology is a) mass cultural delusion that the sun's apparent position relevant to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.

My mum told me that people seem to have characterics of thier star signs.

Love is not dictated by astrology or star constellations, or any other man made belief that destiny, success, or love is written in the stars. Don't buy into this silly nonsense about zodiac signs and all this other crap, it isn't true. Love is not dictated or bound by what we believe the the stars say, it is dictated by what's in our hearts and how lucky we get

of course its bull s**t, theres no scientific proof to back any of that up.

There would be records of water consumption (you do pay a water bill, right?); a diminished supply of soap, shampoo, and conditioner (you do use those things, right?); and little curly hairs (containing your DNA) in the drain cover, on your towel, and on the floor.

Enough evidence that a forensic pathologist could prove that you did indeed take a shower within the time period that you specified.

There is not, however, anything other than vague, self-serving testimonials to the efficacy of astrology.

It could be that population growth combined with migration and technology has made astrology obsolete. I would find it quite logical that persons born in a small geographic area around the same time of year would in some ways develop similarly due to similar weather patterns.

Imagine a primitive culture that lives in a climate that varies greatly from season to season. If it is cold in winter, it is unlikely that infants would be exposed to nature/outdoors soon after birth. It would be too cold for them. They could develop differently if kept inside, somewhat isolated from what is going on outdoors. A child born during a warmer time would likely be exposed to the outdoors.

Due to technology, you can treat us as "incubated" humans. We're usually born in a warm place and kept that way by our machines. Nature does not affect our development as much because we are insulated from it.

T0, all that you've stated are environmental, not astrological, factors.

I do not believe in it.

I heard of a study of a large number of people to see if they actually fitted the astrological profiles they were supposed to fit with the findings showing that they functioned completely independently from any astrological influences.

I do not have a source - I heard of this a while ago.
