2/3 My only tattoo is two large fish covering my entire foot. Any ideas on this forum of what I should cover it up with? Maybe some other sea-dwelling creature...

 

[mwgdrwg]

3/3 Actually, fuck you NASA I'm still Pisces.

No, it's all true, there are only 12 types of people in the world, and 650 million of them are going to reconnect with an old flame this week.

It's all metaphorical - some of those people might meet a former lover but most of them will probably just burn to death or something.

Could say similar about football and apply it to men tbf.

No - I agree with kittyP. The 2 things are not remotely comparable.

It's a pile of irrational toss that members of one gender are generally held to like.
I'm not going to Google 'analogy' for you.

Yeah but it's really not the same. If you can't see that, I'm not going to explain any further.

You may not have been on the receiving end of "if I tell her she's pretty and ask her what star sign she is she'll think I'm all sensitive and let me fuck her"

No. It's not the same.

Astrology doesn't even have the enticement of drunkenness, tribalism and occasional random violence.

Nasa didn't decide you're a different starsign. Here's what happened

Space agency has shown little interest in astrology

Shit. That's where I've been going wrong.

No more sitting on the cusp for me. Of course it's true

Surely you're not telling us that the Sun is telling us lies

Astrology. Scum. Lies.

I used to be a Leo, according to that I am now Cancer ..

I like being a Leo ..

Strongly worded letter to the sun, innit.

 

[hash tag]

Do they publish letters?

 

[JimW]

They do your fortune off the characters in your name here too, we call it glyphomancy in English: Wuhan University Obviously, since it's Eastern it's far more mystical and profound.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Do they publish letters?

Only if they survive the arduous journey, and 15 million degrees C of heat.

Speaking as an ex-pro, I can barely remember half of this shit but they are right to debunk NASA's debunking to some extent. As the Indy article states, astrologers/astronomers (and the two were interchangeable for the first few millennia of human existence) have been aware of axial precession (ie the general slight movement of the constellations) for a long time and it doesn't (in astrological theory) matter to your birth sign, but I'm really fucked if I can remember why. But axial precession does play a role in astrology, it defines the various astrological ages - most famous one the age of Aquarius which, er, dawned recently. Each Age lasts about 2500 years and because it's precession that causes this move it goes backwards so the one before Aquarius was Pisces, which OH MY GOD coincided with the rise of Christianity WHICH SOMETIMES USES A FISH AS ITS SYMBOL, so suck that up skeptics and unbelievers, who's laughing now eh?

 

[Supine]

I’m still Libra. I don’t care what The Sun say with their shitty article, as if I could ever be a Virgo!

I've gone from Pisces to Aquarius

I'm with you brother, most people on here are acting like a bunch of Cancers

How romantic

how bizzare, just as I read that I lit a roll up.

 

[nogojones]

it's always interested me to see the same arguments about astrology being had now as they were having the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as a glance at keith thomas' 'religion and the decline of magic' will show.

Such a good book and as Thomas was a Leo it was bound to be

 

[WouldBe]

Fuck the sun, the stars and the moon

Painful.

 

[Sprocket.]

A lad who works with us says he is a test tube baby.
He was born under the sign of Pyrex!

 

[NoXion]

One thing I've always wondered, if Pluto is considered to be a planet according to astrologers, then what about similar bodies that have since been discovered? Are bodies like Eris and Makemake considered relevant? Why or why not? What are the criteria for a body to be considered astrologically impactful?

all the people here going "science!" are the same people who thousands of years ago, hearing the National Association of Sumerian Astrology pronounce animism a load of tosh would also be smugly claiming "science!".

No. Are you aware that science is not just a body of knowledge, but is also a self-correcting process of acquiring empirical knowledge about nature, that has only existed for a few centuries out of the hundreds that constitute human history?
