Astrology has no more demonstrable validity than religion. You're just remembering the hits and ignoring the misses.

Thats easy for you to say.

Not to mention that there's nothing Biblical about starving your child or putting them out in the cold to freeze.

About as unbiblical as it gets, really.

I've been working 17 years. During that 17 years I have been wrote up four times. All four times at the same employer, all within 60 days and all during the recession when labor was on sale. :roll: They never thought of offering me a lower wage. They just looked for a chance to kill me with all the power available.

:beat

I'm more of an ass than I used to be but kids raised like this would have been strong enough to let it go. I've been depressed and self-destructive over this for well over two years.

I'm an ass.

I never used to believe in astrology. Until my horoscopes starting getting chillingly accurate. I think perhaps the layout of the stars and the day and were you were born in the solar system might has some sort of effect on people just like the moon creates tides with the sun. But I also don't think that everyone is tied down by fate and there is no concrete, predetermined outcome to your paths.

A combination of confirmation bias and the fact that horoscopes are written deliberately vague. And the fact that you haven't really thought about where horoscopes come from.

Quite easy in fact because that's the only way astrology actually "works". All data shows that it's a pointless, irrational, unjustified belief.

That is your assumption. Everything you have said I have thought about. Maybe its more obvious for me because as Libra I tend to only get along with other Libras. Not always just alot.

An old friend you haven't seen in a long time could suddenly reappear. You'll be surprised by this person's achievements. This meeting or the circumstances surrounding it could mark a turning point for you. Perhaps this person inspires you, or people you meet through him or her make a difference to you. This is going to be a strange, significant day. Make the most of it!

The bolded items are all vague or subjective.
And nothing about today was significant or strange.

Do you know who wrote that horoscope for me, and how they decided these things? You don't, do you? If you do, please tell me because I have no idea.

And that's not even getting into the scientific problem of asking what physical mechanism could possibly be responsible for such effects. The constellations used are completely arbitrary, and stars at those distances just can't project any influence into our sector of space that is remotely significant. And what's so biologically special about the day of your birth and the day after your birth, as far as personality is concerned?
