Anyway, I asked Tony R to delete the ARSEtrology poll. It didn't make much sense anyway.  However, I still think astrology is a bunch of BS.

I agree with you on that. My sister and I both have the same star sign, yet we're very different people. And when you think about it, how can balls of flaming gas billions of miles away have an effect on people? ------------- Be or be not. There is no question. - Yoda, Prince of Denmark |

It's because you have to do the full birth theme with all the planets in signs and aspects. That would be too simple if there were only 12 psychological types of persons. If you add symply the ascendant sign (which is somehow more important than the solar sign), it gives a 144 (12 X 12) combination, which is already more accurate. |

I'm not surprised you're a Krautrock and Gong fan as a Pisces. This sign symbolizes mysticism, spiritualty and krautrocks bands like Popol vuh for example embodies perfectly this mystic dimension. |

Then, I guess I should try to reach that mysterious state of being called "the place of no pity", which destroys self-importance by slowly starving it. That's the path I'll choose to follow.   Thanks for the quote, oliverstoned.

Poplularized astrology and newspaper horoscopes are BS, but real astrology as the greeks invented it, is something else. Its an art and a science, but few astrologers are good enough to get something of it. The aim of astrology is mainly to know itself (karmic astrology is very good for that).
Anyway, i've nothing to prove to sceptics. |

I can't speak for others, but one of the reasons I'm a sceptic is that I've never seen anything that proves there is any validity to astrology. So unless you (or someone else) provides convincing proof, I'm going to remain a sceptic. ------------- Be or be not. There is no question. - Yoda, Prince of Denmark |

Proof? It's not simple as it's not something you can quantify as it's human psychology. So something "subjective" in a way.
Although there has been a huge scientific, statisitic study made in France (Gauquelin study), to prove that following their occupation, people have this or this sign in the "middle of the sky" of their native theme. For example, astrologers states that most militaries have Mars (war planet) in the middle of the sky. They did the tests with hundred of themes and the result was 80% true in favor of astrology! On a statistic/scientific point of view, it widely vaildate the reliability of astrology and excludes hazard. One of the opponents of astrology concluded by this funny sentence: "If statistic believes in astrology, i don't believe in statistics anymore" It shows how narrow minded scientists can be! |

I still hold some skepticism about Astrology, but I will say this: I input all the pertinent info for every one of my band members on http://www.alabe.com/freechart/ - this site... ...and the results were extremely close to everyone's actual personality... even the parts that contradict the other parts!  ------------- Pure Brilliance:
