do you believe in "astrology"? why/why not??

hello divineathena, well there is the question of mine that is there really some kind of connection with our lives to this subject? you have got some reasons to have some kind of faith in this subject,may be there are many others who have found their prediction came true and thus have a believe in astrology. even there was a time i was actually picking up interest in astrology but whenever i started believing in it people around me started laughing at me, so i had to abandon the idea completely.

I won't say that planets make up the stories of our lives. However, their influences do make us choose what we want in our lives and that is what creates the stories. There are several planetary positions and aspects which get engraved in our personalities as soon as we are born. Some examples include: Moon- This one governs emotions through the sign in which stayed during our birth. For instance, X has moon in Taurus. That means his emotions have Taurean traits. Venus- This one decides what type of people we prefer in our lives and how we perform in relationships. So if X has Venus in Capricorn, he will be more interested in women who are serious minded and goal oriented. Additionally, in relationships, he will be quiet serious. This happens because Capricorn is career driven and quite serious. However, if X ended up with Venus in Aries he would have preferred aggressive type of women. Aries is impulsive and prefers adventure over seriousness. So X would have been impulsive in choosing his women and also would have got bored in stable relationships. Planets can also have different aspects like sextile, square, conjunct and so on. They too influence our actions and thoughts. If you get into a relationship with someone and ask an astrologer to make a compatibility chart for you and your partner you will find him generating report that shows crossing of your planets with your partner. They basically will give you highlight of strength and weakness of your relationship with him. If you use them to cautiously go forward with your relationship you will be happier with your partner and love life. Yeah, people always think that astrology is something to be laughed about. Perhaps, that is why, it is often discussed within closed rooms. But I have been noticing that those who have something bad in their charts are the main ones to take astrology as a joke. Take my sister for instance. She is a Gemini. Oh my God, she was so into astrology before. But now from Yahoo Answers she came to know that Gemini is the most hated sign in USA. So she has stopped believing in astrology. In fact, she jokes when I try to talk to her about it. Let people say what they want. Their job probably is to weaken your belief from astrology so that you do not try to read them at all. But trust me, it can help you choose the right people and career in your life.

hello AKRao, well yes i find you have a point here.that is the same question in my mind that why people will have faith in such irrational and illogical facts and subject. but yes may be we human have a tendency to avoid uncertainty and problems in our lives and always want a way to know their future to have a control over certain events. may be its personal belief of people and it varies from person to person.
