BY way of introduction, I do not invite my pals' appreciation or disapproval on astrological predictions and calculations.As for me, I am a believer in the cosmic influences exerting on us in our everyday existence. Though we cannot avert malign experiences, we can at least know that there are things like this - real bad times. I know that astrology cannot clear a way out.The stellar phenomenon and human personal life - they are definitely related. astrology has its relevance here. It is founded on scientific guidelines- never can you disregard it as half-truth.

The Truth About Astrology As revealed between the covers of the Book of Books, the Holy Bible, there is an Almighty God who transcends time and space, the Creator of all things. And there is another, a lesser by far who would take His place, if he could. The Almighty will remain, but the one who's defeat has been prewritten in the annuls of history continues undaunted to engage in the bitter struggle. Every means at his disposal is utilized almost as though there were some hope of turning his destiny.... but he will not repent. His will is steady. His end looms before him -- destruction. His dedication to the task of depriving the ultimate victor of the spoils of war is admirable, in a way. Admirable, too, is the dedication of those whom he has deceived into siding with him. The Host of Heaven and many lost of the Earth with skill and determined effort bend their backs and spiritual bows to the task of denying the Almighty God what he so richly deserves. Love. Honor. Worship.. This adversary is formidable. His efforts bear much fruit, but for a season. His ways are brilliant, if not very inventive. By what manner does he perform his wicked work of stealing, killing and destroying? Deceit. Deception. He pretends to be what he is not - to do what he does not - to have what he has not. The father of lies is he. Ever accusing falsely. Attempting to assume the appearance of the true God, he imitates His qualities and counterfeits His works. Meddling in the affairs of this God with his people, he continually distorts His communications, speaking twisted truths with a forked tongue. Who among us is fooled by the obvious? None but the most simple. But the subtle lays a snare for all but the most wise. His deeds are done in darkness under the cloak of ignorance and confusion. In the great and bloody battle being waged over the richest of spoils, the souls of men, the most clever and devious of devices are being used. The weapon ASTROLOGY is such a device - wielded by the skilled to destroy the ignorant. Those without knowledge are lured by innocent sounding words which seem good to the ears and are led straight into the dark realm of the occult and witchcraft; rebellion against the most High. The battleground is strewn with the gross wreckage of mankind. Man, for the most part, can still be seen expending his alloted time on this earth in a state of increasing corruption. What remains of his earthly abode wanes in the power to sustain him - even rising up to destroy him with the increasing fury of rending earth, tearing winds, violent floods, raging fire and wasting disease. And yet, the sin of rebellion against the one in whom help is reigns in their hearts.

In my opinion, astrology is scientific. Branches of modern science have expanded in many ways. But astrology is an ancient science that has been with us from thedawn of cinilization. By properly studying and calculating, it becomes totally believable. Thanks.

I believe that God created the universe, and all of the stars we see, and all of the stars beyond our vision and beyond our knowing. That very same God who had the power to do that also has the power to create a system in the stars to govern humankind.Because I worship the God who created the stars, though, I do not seek my future in the stars, but in my God the creator. He sets me free from relying on temporal objects for guidance.

sorry hon, astrology is not science, and is not accepted by the scientific community. It provides what is called a tautic argument. When you use the scientific method, the null hypthosis rules, that means, that you start out with the premise that what you are trying to prove is not provable, (null hypothesis) and then it is your duty to prove the null hypothesis wrong, example lets say I want to prove that all men with blues eyes have better eye sight than men with different coloured eyes. The null hypothesis will tell me this is not so, and I will have to prove the null hypothesis wrong. Astrology starts with the claim that they are proven right and therefore does not use the null hypothesis. Because something does not stand the rigours of hard science does not mean it is not good in its own right. religion is not science, history is not science etc. but science requires the applications of a certain set of rules and astrology does not follow these rules. Astronomy follows the scientific method of explanations.

I have had a few experiences that lead me to believe in the accuracy of astrology.

I do not believe in Astrology however I do like to read my horoscope. I don't know if you can tell your personal future by the stars but that is just my opinion. I am sure that there are people out there that live their lives by the stars and do quite well.
