do I believe in them?? Maybe, at least ot some extent. I dont believe believe in them. Just read them for fun, amusement, entertainment, trivia, and a bit of learning knwloedge. I say this because there are some thing in them that are worth following because if your really think about it, it makes sense. Horoscopes and Astrology, I used to read them, but because of one entry in the Readers Digest I discovered that it was just to make life interesting. the entry is about your rela star sign because of the tilt of the earth and after thousands of years the positions of the stars back then and now are quite different and there is a 13th sign now. So this pretty much ruined every little thing that I did believe in horoscopes and astrology.
Feng Shui, well, thats a different sory, there are some sayings and beliefs that I think really could help people out. Though not the part about owning a gourd or a coin or somthing to make your life more easier and to get the good chi and drive the evil spirits out. The things I do believe in ar ethe ones along the lines of what are the best positions to build a certian building in.
For example, you should never have an electric post in front of your house, not because of bad luck but your house might be burnt by faulty electric wiring or something. So thigns like that.
Hope that helps.^_^ What about you? Do you believe in those things?

Astrology is the study of patterns and relationships -- of planets in motion, our birth chart, synastry with others.
It falls more in the category of metaphysics, the study of that which is beyond the physical. It's similar to other fields that are founded on ancient theories of energy patterns. It's been called the "Mother of all Sciences."
But how many people will master Astrology, I guess not more than 1% of the people who claim that they are god/goddess of Astrology. Although I believe in Astrology I don't believe in fake Astrologers.

I must admit that when it comes to Vedic astrology when there are these calculations that are drawn up so precisely and when the astrology is treated as a trusted adviser and is supposed to be holy in his conduct, there seems to be some reason to trust in it. I am not though at all sure about computerized Vedic Astrology or Vedic Astrology outside of the contexts of culture and philosopy and remedies, etc. I have heard that materialism in this should be avoided but I see a lot of it on the net.
I like Western astrology in its characterization of people but I find that it is sometimes inaccurate more so for me because I was born on the cusp between two signs.
I like horiscopes as reading material but do not take themt seriously.
I like hearing about Chinese and other astrologies but do not fully understand them.
I think that Feng Shui, as it is an ancient practice, probably has some merit. I would though trust a person who has grown up in the culture from which it sprang and who has some understanding of the philosophy behind it to do the Feng Shui in an area before I would trust a westerner to do anything with it.
