Astrology is the biggest load of crap ever...

...but i still liked being a Leo

[MoonBaby]

Really?

[Henry Morgan]

What?  So either you did not feel that astrology worked before... and this tweek is supposed to fix it?

Or you did feel that it worked before and it ain't broke, but it needs fixing.

There would seem to be a basic logic flaw behind this, unless this guy is a 2012 fanatic and uses that as a pretext for the change.  

I for one have noticed throughout my life a strong coorelation between a persons personality and their predicted personality from their natal chart (but have seen no coorelation in daily prediction stuff)

Whether skeptic or believer this logically must be taken with a "grain of salt", just another footnote to western astrology.

All the Scorpio's are now Libra's- Good Gawd !! That explains a lot.

All the Leo's are now Cancer's - Good on 'em! they were too nervy anyways!!

*This applies only to my family. Mileage may vary.

I don't want to be a Libra. My husband is definitely the typical Libra as I was the scorpio.Libras are too nice and Scorpios like an argument and we sting with words. The zodiac gives more character information than just the date of birth. So does this mean we will have the days in the year extended? All a bunch of bs and waste of time.

LOL I guess you will just have to stop being the party animal always looking for things to do.  Leo's are known for that. My brother and my daughter are both Leo and they always want to do stuff never just relax at home.  So what will the characteristics etc. be for this new Zodiac. Does this mean we are all going to be 'changed' to different personalities or something?

That explains why I have been so cranky lately... I am beginning to become a Scorpio!

LOL and that also explains why I am now more mellow and laid back instead of crabby and argumentative and crancky. I am now a Libra, not a Scorpio. Although the doctor did prescribe stress medication for me, which I thought was the reason for my mellow mood.

I don't care what the stars say. I'll always be a Virgo.

Me, too!

Doesn't this new sign BS only apply to people born after 2006 or something like that?

First Pluto isn't a planet anymore and now I'm a d@mn Virgo. Unh-uh, honey. I'm a Libra now and a Libra for ever. (At least until I die anyway)

And doesn't this throw the whole element crap out of wack? What the heck element is the new guy?

[Nufc1966]

Yesterday I was Aries and according to the 'Daily Star' should expect trouble in my love life and a disappointment in my latest career choice. However, now that I'm officially a Pisces, I can look forward to a surprise meal and a wonderful night of passion with my GF. Thats a relief.

Nope, Sailor Pluto is on maternity leave: she's expecting baby Chiron to arrive in any moment: it's not a moon...it's also a dwarf planet!   (I dare you to google pregnant Sailor Moon artwork...go ahead, ROFL!) There's a Sailor Earth and sailor Dark Moon in the animated series.

But in ancient astrology with high inaccuracy by not knowing Venus is the same planet: they mentioned the two Venuses: an "Evening Star" (Hesperus or Western star) and the "Morning Star" (Lucifer or Lost Angel) when Venus reappeared in the opposite direction. In ancient Gaul (now France), a small tribal hut on an isle in the Seine River called Paris was thought to be named for Venus, and the inhabitants called it "Phari" or "Varae" - their patron female deity. When the Romans arrived they changed the spelling to Paris and later early Christians came to Gaul, they thought she's the devil and made them forget about her (but the city is still "Gay Parree").

Astrologers declare we have 12-15 celestial bodies: two of them are most dominant: the Sun and Moon, 8 true planets and 5 dwarf planets...each one rules 12 signs and 1, 2 or 3 "ParaZodiac"al signs - Ophiuchus, Orion and Centaurus. (The designated elements, genders and positions are unknown, probably are neutral signs) when the planets and other celestial bodies are known to crossed them on occassion, or will increasingly be jetting within these constellations as the eliptic changes and the North Astronomical Pole shifts a few degrees (Polaris in Ursa Minor - The little bear, is no longer the "North Star") will definitely alter the latitude and longitude coordinates of constellations.

I think the Greek/Roman or Western astrology differ greatly from the Eastern kind used in India and Persia/Mesopotamia. It has to do more with the position the Earth was in when the Sun rose each 21st day of the solar month. The Sun may be, for example, on the 21st of January, enters the sign of Capricorn, but the earth was in Aquarius below the horizon...and some astrologers declared a cusp date for February 14-16, my birthdate will make me more a Capricorn but still an Aquarius...or the old calendar, I'm more of a Pisces. But be in mind 1980 is a leap year so it affects the actual correct date of when the sun enters and leaves a zodiac sign.

I hate how people who know NOTHING about atsrology say it's a load of crap.

Chinese go by the movemnet of Jupiter as the primary focus. We use the sun.  the chinese also use the sun, as we do Jupiter.

If at anytime you had of gone a little deeper with your investigation it would not have taken long to realise this.

I could go on and on explaining Astrology and un twisting the ridiciulous attitudes people have towards it but why bother???????

It really pisses me off because something is going, Astrology reveals it, and as humans we jam our heads up our butts.

Anyone who doesn't know what Atsrology is and thinks its crap should get their chart done by a good, practicing astrologer.

There are more things in heaven and earth horatio than are disregarded by your pathological, shallow and irrational skepticism.

time to fact check, for such an outragous claim please provide at least one straw of evidence.
