When I refer to a forecast I mean the alignment of the heavens at a particular time/place/day, and what patterns the heavenly bodies are creating in the sky in relation to one another.

Thank you for that link daylia. I use that site frequently, but don't use the board.

I view astrology as an ancient art, not a modern science. It harms no one, so I've never been able to understand the vituperative reaction some people have to it.

I don't believe astrology tells you who wins, even though I know some people believe it does.

There are Democrats who say they will win and Republicans who say they will win, based upon no other information than "it is what I believe" so I see "believing in" astrology to be no more or less odd than "believing" the Democrat/Republican will win based upon the belief system of the hocus pocus pundits and pollsters. Turn on any cable news channel obsessing over the elections, and it makes astrology look like rocket science.

It isn't like there aren't plenty of deluded thinkers in this world, who cling to far more dangerous belief systems--like believing in the American political process, for instance--than astrology.
