For the record, I have studied astrology extensively, and, though I don't buy into it, it is a fascinating topic, and is found in many various forms worldwide.

There's probably something worthwhile to be learned about ourselves in how we've dealt with the best and worst times in our lives, regardless of our astrological signs. What that might be, I'm not sure. It occurs to me that I might not be able to wax philosophical about the worst time in my life if it had be more recent. I'm sure others would agree.

because your answers can be influenced from others.

Any proof astrology's a crock????

What role do massive land and gas masses have to one who doesn't believe in astrology? Are you telling me they are simply occupying space????
The bebate is on.

The burden of proof is on the person making the more outrageous claim.

reasonable claim--> astrology apparently isn't based in fact and has no benefits or explanatory power

outrageous claim--> distant planets moving through space profoundly and intimately affect the daily lives of people on earth

I believe it was Carl Sagan who said "the gravitational pull of the doctor who delivered you has more effect than whatever constellation you were "born under."
