Alright guys, so we have a general consensus that Astrology is pretty lame. What about it raises the most skepticism?
Because it is total bullshit cerated and used solely by greedy people too lazy to work. You're telling us that images of groups of stars which look close together despite not being so from hundreds of years ago (because light travels at finite speed)decide our fates or at the least know every last detail of our lives?
And then you look at pubished and private readings which consist of vague generalities which to the suggestible sound profound, the essence of cold reading, say something vague and general and let the mark fill the blanks. Going hand in hand with this is the extreme rarity of bad news, scares away the punters because they don't want the scary fantasy to come through.
But most of all its because shits like you prey on the gullible the stupid and the desperate (the vast majority being poor), without remorse. People who promote this shit are immoral.

My neck-romantic powers are so great I don't even consider 1 month old treads neck romance any more.
Seriously, my PB stands at eight years four months.

One shockingly accurate horoscope please.
You were born about the same time I met my wife. Not relevant but just makes me feel old.

Thread hasn't been dead all that long, but it seems, that there was only one member here, dumb enough to believe in and argue in favor of astrology. After encountering overwhelming skepticism - that person promptly f-ed off with tail between legs and hasn't visited since. So I wouldn't expect a heated debate on this subject.

Hmm. It says something about you being destined to spend you days riding you kitteny self on top of the back of a turtle shell. It says the turtle you shall ride upon has.... mayo. How odd.
