Does anyone believe in Astrology?

 I used to believe in astrology, enough to do natal charts and readings for around four years or so.  I don't consider it more than interesting fluff information, now.  The only time astrology remotely helped me was when I guessed a girl's sign and got it correct and then proceeded to have other interesting things to do with each other.

Astrology is completely bogus if one tries to sound "scientific" about it, with "energies" and celestial movements and so forth.  It's a made-up, superstitious system that may have helped form some interest toward psychology and so on.  It's too subjective an assumption to be given such a blatant disguise of being an objective tool.

However, if one considers reincarnation, and that reincarnation is a chosen/assigned affair, then perhaps it isn't so strange that incarnations and their births help categorize types and then give those to spirits which wish to be like that.  Give the chatty types an incarnation a Gemini birthday.  Give the intuitive types an incarnation a Pisces birthday, etc.  Kinda like some of the Sims games used to have when making a toon.  However, this generally disbelieved idea provides the most believable scenario for astrology to have any relevance whatsoever.

This is why I don't believe you're 26. So damn grouchy, Tom. 

For the sake of this story, what was it you ordered? Did you just say "iced coffee" or something and the person got pissy? There's no starbucks where I live so I always get strange looks for not knowing how to order when I'm out of town. 

 


I'm 27 remember, Amanda? And I'm not grouchy, I was just annoyed by some smug asshole. Just because he uses a Mac book to surf the internet doesn't make him better than me.

Yeah, I don't believe in reincarnation. I think a lot of "cultured" people use them as ice breakers...and I'm right smack in the middle of the most "cultured" city in America...I think I'll just invest in a coffee maker. now if Cafe-mate would just bring back Chocolate Raspberry I'll be set.

Oh geez Turn, enough with this new-aged bullshit! Being  born on different angles of the sun does not affect your personality. I mean maybe if there was a solar flare that hit the earth when you were in your moms stomach or when you were being born but astrology??

You aren't familair with Darren Brown, nor did you watch the whole thing did you?

Five to six minutes in reveals his trickery.

Ahaha no problem. I find it hilarious you'd think I'd believe that sort of thing.

I remember you saying you're 27. It's just hard to believe that someone who references the exact brand name of their creamer is that young. I hope the rest of your day was better.

 Well I wouldn't say I believe in astrology (or really, anything) but cold reads are solid gold.
