    Yes ;) For quite an apparent reason, but none that you'd even comprehend nor understand... The sun is in Aquarius right now, and the age we are in the age of Aquarius. They are facts. Those who understand the Zodiac, understand the movement of the universe. 90percent of people who read star signs don't understand astrology or astronomy for that matter.

    Stop trying to sound like your smart. You're just been ignorant to what you don't understand....

    since the zodiac only concerns itself with visible stars, and at best, one other visible galaxy, how does the second part of that sentence follow from the first part?

    Indeed. It's like watching the trees blowing outside your window and calling yourself a meteorologist.

    Oh look, we've been joined by Mystic Meg.

    You obviously didn't read or get my point. 90 percent of people who read starsigns don't understand astrology

    Mystic meg, starsign readings, newspaper horoscopes are a pile of trash.

    People who understand, hold and seek knowledge, take astrology very seriously along with many other branches of subjects that were widely taught in ancient times. Most of such knowledge goes right over the common joe soap now. The Jesuits for example who run the catholic church take astrology very seriously. Just as the Greeks did, Egyptians did and the ruling elite do today.

    It's ironic that ignorance is always shown by people who think they know it all. Instead they just come across like the class clown at the back of the class.

    The Zodiac is the study of our sun moving through cosmos. If you know where you're going, you understand where you are. If you don't know where you are going what chances are they knowing what you are, where you are now and where you are heading. But as usual, people don't have a clue about ancient knowledge. But what is a fact that is worth knowing to all of you is the Jesuits who control the Vatican, do take astrology very seriously.

    St Paul's Square is a classic example of such. They show clearly that they built this square for astrological purposes. Roman Catholicism itself have their feast days and celebrations on the time of the Equinoxes. It's very evident plain in sight. But of course, it's just going to go right over most people. As I always say. Ireland is truly stuck in the dark ages when it comes to "knowledge and reality".

    But as usual, people on this forum "think they know it all" don't they.:rolleyes:

    so is astrology keeping up with the latest developments in astronomy? one would think that would be logical.

    It's actually the other way around. But they do tie together of course.

    Astrology doesn't even keep up with the latest developments in astrology.

    We're talking about astrology as if it's science or on the pretence that there is some truth to it.
