Thread Name: BS: Zodiac / Star Signs - do you believe?
Subject: RE: BS: Zodiac / Star Signs - do you believe?
Most traditions/superstitions (including the lucky/unlucky) stem from the Middle Ages, and were popularised with the Victorians, so connecting it to an agricultural economy makes a lot of sense. Trying to connect it to an industrial society - which is what most of us didn't become until some 200 years ago (and some of us still have to catch up with, NZ, Dorset and Alabama!) gets difficult. Connecting it with today's society is farcical, except in those countries where agriculture is still the main or only economy.

The scary thing is, I've had occasions when all 3 of my horoscopes have been right on the same day.....

Ho hum!!
