Do you believe in astrology?

Wow-you are very anti----did my topic offend you?

so you have to deal with your wife's family? do they try to poush this on you?

How can it offend me. My wife and her family are heavily into astrology. In fact it has brought much losses to me by delayed work and all that. I have an interesting story on Astrology about my wife's younger sister. My wife's younger sister refers to her horoscope for everything. Once she went for a job and after just one day she resigned as the work was strenuous. Later her mother took her horoscope to see what is wrong. They came home and told me how true it is and she said that the Astrologer told her exactly, that she went for work for just one day, with the date that she went to work. I firmly said that the Astrologer must have got it out of her mouth which she denied. Time passed and once I got a astrology software in a diskette. I put it into my computer and checked everyone's Star sign. It gave it all correctly except my wife's sister's. She was supposed to be "Vrushaba" but the computer gave it as "Mesha". Though I don't believe in Astrology, the mathematics used has to give the correct result, whoever did the calculation. So I insisted that what the computer says cannot be wrong. I checked her horoscope and found out what has gone wrong. She was born on 26th night at 12.25. She was celebrating her birthday on the 26th. When they gave the time to the Astrologer on her birth he have confusingly taken the time as 26th 12.25 p.m., whereas it should have been 27th 0.25 a.m. You see she was actually born on 27th. After that she celebrates her birthday on 27th. But she shyly avoids my question as to how everyone gave such accurate readings from her false horoscope. Another female friend of mine went to a very famous Astrologer with her husband and she said that with one glance at the horoscope the astrologer said that they don't have children. She said they just went and sat there and did not speak a word. I being a non believer told her it is impossible and to tell me exactly what the Astrologer told. The Astrologer has said "Madam, the most valuable thing on earth to a couple are children". Then I said, so that is true. He had not told that the couple do not have children. The statement is true to someone who is have 20 children also. Then she realised how these Astrologers make common statements which the believer applies to himself.

Really who? Why don't you read horoscopes? Not enough truth to them? are they too vague?

I did not get it right when you meaant read horoscopes. Yes I do get it read regularly.

Where do you get your souces? I do not read regularly but I do check them out on Yahoo. I don't truly believe, but I enjoy them.

I use a site which also does Tarot, Numorolody, and IChing. It is free of charge to join and get your astrology sent to your email daily. They also have some paid services but they are optional and not required to join or recieve your horoscope. If you would like you can send me a message on here with your email address and I will send you the link to the site. Have a Blessed Day

Very interesting! Do you pay for your horoscope service or is it free of charge?

I have read my full description of my sign as well, and although a lot of it is true, there are definitely parts that are not. But how boring would life be if we were all the same if we shared the same sign and were exactly alike?

Free readings? Where do you get your information from?

Vedic Astrology is a vague science that is a gift from god. If we know how to use it, we can understand ourselves very well. i give free readings. if any one is interested please contact me

very true...i am the same way-i like to read the good news but if it is bad i am not interested

i am not that familiar with all the stuff behind astrology...what do the numbers mean?

where do you get them? online? newspaper? magazines?

A lot of people do not. They find it of the devil and want nothing to do with it. I, for one, never let it rule my life but find the concepts interesting.

I don't believe in future telling....I believe in Christ, but I do enjoy looking to what could happen. I take it all with a grain of salt and never let it control my days ahead.

I do not let anything rule my life other than prayer and my faith in Jesus. But the history and supposed scientific reasoning is what interests me the most about astrology. Intersting is right! If it sounds good, and seems optimisitc, I read further. If it doesn't apply to me, I disregard it.

curiosity is a great description...i think that is why i look into it too

you find it completely useless?

ok...

I believe that to some degree. I do not let the start rule me ever. I just find it entertaining.

How much do let if guide you?
