Each one of those 'balls' is a bollock? Wow! Must be 'body harvested' from China.
:yes: me too.
I COULDN'T HELP IT, ALRIGHT!
I obviously dont believe that you can define people purely by the month they were born, but there is research to say that babies born at different times of the year do turn out differently.
But then I'm sure if I read other star signs I would be able to pick out other traits that I have.
I'd be interested to see that research. How traits are isolated and then attributed to birth times must be some phenomenal research.
Of course, changes in food patterns are lessening the differences between babies born at different times of the year.
This is one of those times when I was hoping for absolutely no follow up questions. I'm sure I heard it on Radio 4, not that they have different traits, but that there seems to be broader groupings in terms of aptitude.
I'll search the Radio 4 site - and post the link if i find it.
If you actually look into astrology though and look at ALL your planets and their signs, it will be a lot more accurate. I still dont believe that youd be able to tell whats going to happen on individual days though
It wasn't on April 1st was it?:D
i know that youre more likely to have different personality problems, more likely to commit suicide, more likely to have schizophrenia etc according to the time of year you are born. I read about it in the new scientist
.
Horoscopes are such an insignificant part of life I'm amazed she even wasted time ranting about them. I know several people who may read this stuff for amusement or to go 'cool!' if something fits but I have never met anyone who lets horoscopes dictate their lives.
I've heard about it. Seems fairly reasonable tbh. Nothing to do with any mystical astrology bullshit though, more about whether you're the oldest or youngest in your class.
Meh, people like the idea of fortune tellers and astrologers, it's just a bit of fun. And tbh, there's got to be some skill in being able to write something that applies to everyone and no-one at the same time.
'Modern ones'? You mean like in the daily papers? I agree. You can't sum up the day of every Libran, Piscean etc in the world based on a few lines in the newspaper.
If there was 'a definite knowledge and art to astrology and horoscopes back in the day', why is this knowledge not here now? And if this is because it has been lost to us, how do you know that it was ever accurate anyway? There is no proof.
There ARE lots of full-time astrologers out there that delve into the influence of the day you were born, the time you were born, constellations etc based on a 'definite knowledge' theory. Outcome? Still complete mumbo jumbo twaddle.
The truth is, people who rely on horoscopes do not like to believe that they are flying into the face of eternity without any notion of been seemingly in control of their own destinies. Horoscopes offer such comfort that somehow everything is 'ordained'. Yeah, whatever. :rolleyes: You are born, you may or may not have a shit life, and then you die.
Its best to shove those notions out of your head, do the best you can to lead a happy life ('cos you are long time dead), bring happiness to people around you - and take what life deals you on the chin.
Why not?
I mean atheism is as much a belief system as religion.
Poppy-cock! And there's no way you really believe that.
In what way does my disbelief in a supernatural dictator equate with the dogmas of organised religion?
Edit: Fuck it, this deserves it's own topic.
