<p>do you guys take your astrological sign seriously? or any of the other astrology stuff?</p>
<p>I don't follow horoscopes.
However, I've read descriptions of my sign (Cancer-Leo cusp), and they fit me rather well. Which is kind of creepy. Other sign descriptions also fit some of my friends.</p>
<p>I don't really believe it because it's against my religion but as the person above me said I've read descriptions of my sign (Virgo) and they fit me rather well.</p>
<p>I do, but I'm not obsessed.</p>
<p>Not at all. It's just vague predictions (which could fit a large group of people if the mind wants to make that effort). Besides, it's pretty egotistic (wow! the stars and planets and the UNIVERSE revolve around ME!!!). It's also silly because you are sharing your "unique" predictions with about 1/12th of the population. Yay.</p>
<p>"To show how real astronomical wonder can be presented to children, I'll borrow from a book called Earthsearch by John Cassidy, which I brought back from America to show my daughter Juliet. Find a large open space and take a soccer ball to represent the sun. Put the ball down and walk ten paces in a straight line. Stick a pin in the ground. The head of the pin stands for the planet Mercury. Take another 9 paces beyond Mercury and put down a peppercorn to represent Venus. Seven paces on, drop another peppercorn for Earth. One inch away from earth, another pinhead represents the Moon, the furthest place, remember, that we've so far reached. 14 more paces to little Mars, then 95 paces to giant Jupiter, a ping-pong ball. 112 paces further, Saturn is a marble. No time to deal with the outer planets except to say that the distances are much larger. But, how far would you have to walk to reach the nearest star, Proxima Centauri? Pick up another soccer ball to represent it, and set off for a walk of 4200 miles. As for the nearest other galaxy, Andromeda, don't even think about it!
Who'd go back to astrology when they've sampled the real thing -- astronomy...? "– Richard Dawkings</p>
<p>A little more mind-shattering than finding out that "you will have a financial dilemma in the future" because of Venus and Saturn making love in the sky.</p>
<p>haha not really
but my astrological sign description fits me really well
so I mean, I check my horoscope in magazines for fun and stuff, and sometimes if I'm bored I'll check out my monthly horoscope from that susanmiller site, but I'm not serious about it or anything</p>
<p>To clarify- I don't believe in things like "you will have a financial dilemma in the future."</p>
<p>Everyone can fall under that.</p>
<p>umm..... no
sometimes its just really dumb</p>
<p>No. It's crap.</p>
<p>Not at all. </p>
<p>The "predictions" are super general. As in something like: "There's a challenge ahead!"</p>
<p>And then people are like: "Omg the SAT!" or "Omg the divorce papers!" or "Omg the skateboarding competition!". </p>
<p>So yah...</p>
<p>Not only that but c'mon now.... I am a deep believer in my faith (I'm a Christian:)) and of science. Seriously, we don't know what the universe is. We have no clue. Chances are, we'll never find out. </p>
<p>Sure we know it's there. We know there are planets. And stars. And??? What's the point? What is this huge blanket which we call universe? </p>
<p>Thing is we don't know. </p>
<p>And the fact that a gigant ball of gases or whatever it is (Mars) moves around a little doesn't have any effect whatsoever in your life. </p>
<p>It doesn't even make sense that Mars is the "God of War" because the Romans and Greeks said so. The Romans and Greeks were people just like us. :) They didn't have the answer to everything...</p>
<p>I've recently become really interested in Astrology and think it's a cool subject. I don't really care for mainstream Astrology, usually what you see and hear in magazines and newspapers. (Most of it's BS). </p>
<p>The sad part is, many people don't believe in Astrology, yet I hear so many people who look for signficant others who fall under certain signs (ex: scorpio, aries, virgo, etc...) But then I'm like, "I thought you didn't believe in Astrology?" It's kind of crazy.</p>
<p>It's All Crap.....</p>
