13 Jan 11 - 11:21 PM (#3074172) Subject: RE: BS: What sign are you... now? From: JohnInKansas I saw the first-cited article elsewhere, but didn't think it was interesting enough to merit a discussion. No competent "caster" since publication of the 1920 USNO Ephemeris would have done a chart for you except by consulting the information in the Ephemeris that gives the concise and accurate locations of all of the astrologically significant bodies at the precise time and place of the person's birth. The "authority" who wrote the "report" apparently thinks people only consult the calendar, and ignores the much more significant "changes in sign" that result with longitudinal (and to lesser extent latitudinal) differences resulting from differing places of birth. He essentially says that nobody (except him) has paid any attention to where the atronomical bodies of influence actually are in casting and charting horoscopes, when in fact the competent ones apparently know a lot more about the subject he claims to know than he does, and obviously he knows nothing about their businesses. Astrologers have known for centuries that when one hurls bullshit it must be aligned and aimed with excruciatingly precise accuracy based on exact knowledge of all the proper and most current elevations and windages.

No big change, since as a Libra you had your internal battles over what to clean first, and now as a Virgo you can't clean anything because Virgo mustn't get her hands dirty. (Or so I was told once when a Virgo and Libra were trying to get me to take sides in their debate.) John |

14 Jan 11 - 09:41 AM (#3074410) Subject: RE: BS: What sign are you... now? From: Keith A of Hertford If you believe in astrology, you must believe that knowledge and understanding of it evolves and improves, as with any branch of "science" The change in the plane of the ecliptic has taken place very gradually over the centuries, and the effect taken into account. You can be quite certain that horoscopes are as accurate now as they have ever been. |

14 Jan 11 - 02:11 PM (#3074609) Subject: RE: BS: What sign are you... now? From: Gurney Never quite understood why astrology is so cut-and-dried about itself. why should it be the planets and not the season, or the weather. Why should it be at birth and not at conception, or at a foetal development stage. And why should it be pre-ordained and not a psychologic conditioning "You are Aries, so you are likely to...." Sounds suspiciously like religeon to me! "No-one can explain it, so here is a superstition to be going on with." Ducks, exits left :-) |
