You don't agree with me at all.

The burden of proof is not on me to prove they are accurate. It's on astrology, and there has been many experiments to prove they are nonsense.

The basics of astrology have no basis whatsoever in scientific fact. It's hokum.

Why would what time I was born, what day and in what location tell me about what is going to happen to me today?

If you make a statement saying that something is true or untrue, I'd like to know what that statement is based on. When I say "Science" please note the grin!

We agree that basing a prediciton on a birthday is useless - yes or no?

No idea - I never said it should - I'm just open top the possibility that it might.

Horoscopes are funny things. Sometimes they make sense sometimes they don't. Sometimes they come through, sometimes they don't. Most of the time however it's just pure and utter bullsh1t.

I believe everything they say and they are in no way out to swindle the gullible.

It's nonsense perpetrated by charlatans who make money by preying on people's egos and emotions much like mediums. There've been many experiments down through the years which have shown this nonsense up for what it is, bullsh1t.

Not sure I'd believe in the whole astrology lark, but were it to be true, I can't imagine it being so general.

Seeing as the idea and basis behind horoscopes were first created a few thousand years ago and since then we have had the Earths axis alter, polar magnetic fields differ, explored the solar system and developed a basic an understanding of it ... and not to mention discovered that we do indeed rotate around a large ball of gas and not everything rotating around us ... horoscopes are pure horsehit.

All of the ones I have ever seen in magazines and newpaper and most online site are utter shíte.

If it doesn't need your date of birth, time of birth and latitude and longitude of place of birth then don't bother with it.

But if it does need those things then the position of a ball of gas 946 trillion km away (100 light years) can have an effect on whether I'm going to find love or not?

I always wondered if the New York Times edition on 11 September 2001 had "today" is your lucky day" for any of the signs

Wife worked for a newspaper some time ago, every Wednesday, before press day, they'd all have to submit something to the editor. The combination of all of this would be the horoscopes.

And some people live by them :rolleyes:
