I dont think that the arrangement of the stars in relation to my birthday has anything to do with winning lottery numbers, if that's what you're asking.

Until they can measure it reliably using the scientific method, it’s an old superstition.

But I do believe that people with same zodiac sign share similar personality traits. :)

My actual birthday is unknown except to my birth mother who is also unknown. My adoptive parents just picked a random date so even though I'm supposed top be a Taurus, I could be a Libra for all we know. Stars don't determine anyone's past, present or future. The creator, free will and natural laws determine that.

I agree. Must be pretty strange not knowing what date you were born on. Although I suppose it doesn't matter too much.

“Free will” contradicts “The Creator” and “natural laws”. I’m sorry to bash the Popery, again, but I’ve been a believer of predestination even way before I converted. The laws of physics ensure that nothing is truly randomized, and that our minds are determined by our past. Like if I flip a coin, even though it has a 50/50 chance of landing on either side, there is actually some advanced physics behind that to provide the illusion that the outcome of a coin flip is random. Similarly, all of our decisions are determined by what our brains think of. And our brains are powered by brain cells. Most folks who sin a lot may have something wrong with their minds, or maybe they’ve been exposed to immoral behavior. I mean, Adam’s and Eve’s children may have started sinning because they’ve been influenced by original sin. Everything in the present is determined by something in the past, not simply by what an individual has decided without any regards to the past. God can’t simply be unable to predict our actions. Which leads me to another theory; that everything in the past (including our memories) changes as time progresses, since God has to constantly re-create everything so that miracles can physically occur in the future.

Can't tell if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing.

Isn’t free will one of the Popery’s morals?

Well, as someone who has studied astronomy I will answer by passing along some info I learned from my professor: astrology is the father of astronomy and was regarded (and still is in some cultures) the superior science. According to him astrology is the study of the universal effects of one celestial body or influence (such as the cycle of a comet) upon other celestial bodies and organisms. The philosophy is summed up in the ancient adage of "As above, so below", which is basically our ancestors' way of saying that which occurs on a sub-atomic level effects the entire organism and vice-versa. The professor also told us that astronomy surpassed astrology as a scientific tool during the Age of Reason, not because because astrology is a false science but due to two facts: 1. that to be an adept astrologer one must accept that all things happen according to a grand design (which Reasonists deny), and 2. Astronomy is simple observatuonal science which requires little interpretation of subtle influences. He ended the discussion saying that were he not such a lazy man he would have pursued a career as an astrologer, lol.

Of astrology's 12 zodiacal constellations on the ecliptic, did your vaunted prof happen to explain why:
* the constellation Virgo is used when it is actually not on the ecliptic?
or
* the serpent holder Ophiucus IS on the ecliptic, right there between Sagittarius and Scorpius, and is ignored on astrological charts?
or
* why he is ignorant of the fact that "observatuonal" is not a real word ?

Oh hon, that's me, I misspelled the word.

And I could only hazard a guess as how to answer you on those things as I am not an astrologer. Very sorry.

The positions and angular relationships of the celestial bodies used in astrology is actually science. It was the precursor to modern astronomy, which still uses many of the same terms and names for these positions and angular relationships.

i think the horoscopes are nonsense
2 ups, 5y
I wouldn't say it's nonsense. What most people think of when they hear the word "astrology" is a watered down parlor trick version of an ancient & incredibly complex system.
It is known that the sun, moon & planets affect the weather & all natural life on this planet. In my opinion, it would be a stretch to say that a person's emotional disposition and personality couldn't be affected by them. I don't know about telling the future & all that, but I definitely wouldn't say it's nonsense.

Astrology is but one of the many practical nonsenses in the umbrella of Divination. as it exploits common issues and occurances most of us will face, and peddles it as a miraculous reading or vision.

So you have a problem in Marriage? No kidding, everybody does.

Oh, the future holds a new home for you? Of course, everybody will have a new home; after all, we'll eventually move at some point in our lives.

King Nebuchadnezzer knew their tricks when, in ch. 2:1-11 of Daniel he had two dreams but when he had asked the Diviners what his dream was and how they would interpret it. What did they do? Asked the king repeatedly to tell them, his dream so they could interrpet his dream. He knew that if he told them they could invent an explanation.

There is a lot about the Universe we don't know or understand. So, for all we know, there may be a sort of code within the Universe to be decyphered, but we simply do not use the right method or are unable to use it.
