Astrology And Horoscopes

For us around here, who are so bent on astrology and horoscopes, how do you find the influence of these in your lives? I read materials on astrology and horoscopes when i come across them sometimes, but not always. I have met some persons who have become dependent on these things. It is quite a puzzle to me. Perhaps it is because I really believe that life is what we make it.

I don't spend my time following the daily horoscope or paying attention to others, but I do not that I find the horoscopes true because I am a Gemini, and I do have two personalities one is Good the other Evil- and he's a bad one when provoked and forced to come out.

Well often it is better to embrace things and make them work for you than it is to deny they exist.

I'm very much into astrology and have been for a good 13 yrs but horoscopes I cant stand and think they are a total waste of time...and yea I too know some ppl who gear their lives around a newspaper (etc) horoscope which IMO is not only silly but also nuts really....they are SO generalized how could one believe them.....Horoscopes that you read in magazines and newspapers etc are NOT the same as your personal astrological profile! not even close! there is so much more to astrology than that which is why it is so much more accurate.....

Astrology has much depth to it....and like I said it can be a very very useful tool in a persons life on so many levels...I personally like to combine Astrology with Numerology when I do profiles for ppl and the results are amazing....LOL if only ppl would stop fearing change and truth of themselves and actually act on what htey learn ;-)

horoscopes are really unreliable. neither can they be believable. as for astrology, it is a deeper study of the heavenly bodies and how they affect us, living beings. but i think that there is so much more to astrology than just this.

I read horoscopes sometimes if I just happen to run across them. I do not make it a point to read them all of the time though. I don't depend on them to tell me how my days or my life will go. I think alot of it is fate or how we lead our lives as to how the outcome is. Life can be what we make of it, but sometimes no matter how hard we try, fate is inevitable.

this is how i regard horoscopes, too. it is definitely unwise if we will depend upon it as to how we shall conduct our life for the day.

I don't really believe in horoscopes. How would you believe that those born under the same star will have the same reading.

horoscopes is something which has disillusioned me since i was a chid. there was this horoscope telling about lucky things and a lucky day but, nothing came out of it.

i do not actually entertain myself with all those kinds of reading materials and stuff. i do not lay my life's future to the heavenly bodies. i believe that my life is being controlled by someone greater than us, our heavenly Father. if we only allow Him take control of our lives and surrender everything to Him we would have been much better persons than we are now.

most of us believes in God's existence and His great influence in all of us. but somehow, nature is also God's work. maybe, God has allowed the planets and their movements to have some influence in each one of us. if you will observe it, nature has really something to do with the way how we feel. the amount of humidity in the air alone can make others feel sick. so i have been thinking that the planets, the stars and their movements might have some effects among the people, too.

I don't believe in horoscopes. For example me and my brother we are born in the same month but only one day difference(and in different years). So we should be similar but we are very diferrent. So you cannot apply any horoscope in our case.

yes, even mother and daughter teams with the same birthday are so different in attitudes and their outlooks in life. try consulting the chinese animal horoscopic signs. they are more accurate. i have been enjoying reading some books because, there are some useful information there. these tell not of what will happen to us in the future but instead, on the kinds of attitudes and attributes that we have. it is really good. you might find reading it worth your time.

as from your study and research of astrology ,you are also learning to understand that human beings have different ways of dealing with life which works best for them that is why there are people who base their actions through this medium.it is also a form which we cannot explain in which we abide without any explanation,which we call gut feel.during the times when man started to survive in this planet ,they have centered themselves with the planetary movements and they found it logical to do so and that helped them survive. it became their life compass and it is the same with some people in this day and age of technology.

i am starting to learn more about astrology now. i used to take it for granted. in fact, i posted this discussion out of curiosity rather than belief in it.

I do read horoscopes just as a superstitious kind of habit...I don't base my life decisions on them but on one level I do reflect on waht the astrologer has to say about things going on in my life right now. In one way, it just makes me stop and think about where I am heading.

I have been into astrology as one of my interests in the occult, but I don't like horoscopes. A horoscope is a prediction based on just the sun sign, there are 7 planets + the moon and sun to use to progress your natal chart to. There is no way that you can make a prediction for everyone who is one sun sign. The astrological charts and progression only tell you the influences on your life, and not exactly what is going to happen. You can use it to see what areas of your life you need to be concerned with.

astrology is therefore something which is worth considering.

Live is what you make it and it is all about luck and coincidence. Astrology doesn't do a thing. It just is, like life. Like a map you can try to read, like dna. It just is. I am a astrologer for 25 years now. I have never ever seen anything happen because of the stars and the signs.
