Do you believe in astrology?
July 20, 2020 at 6:28 am
Here's a quick poll just to see if anybody here genuinely believes in astrology. I get the impression that almost nobody here does, both atheist and theist alike, but it will be interesting if anybody here actually takes it seriously.

Those are two different questions.
Yes, I believe in astrology, in the sense that astrology exists. But, no, I don't take it seriously.

Standard Reply: I was born on the same day as Rush Limbaugh, within twenty miles of him. This proves astrology is bullshit.

That’s because you’re very, very smart. Smart people always agree with me.

All I know is that it worked back in the 1970's.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Very occasionally, people will still ask me what sign I was born under. They don’t get half pissed when I tell them ‘Royal Victoria Hospital, Maternity Ward 2’.

I was born under a wandering star. You know, like that dopey-creepy outdated Britcom character said to the person he was constantly orbiting.
