According to Wikipedia Astrology is a pseudo science.

Troy - You are right, about the practicioners. I believe divuination can answer any query if properly understood. I also think there ate some answers that can not be given.

Cynique - That about sums it up. I recently came scross a statement. Some people are not susceptible to celestial influences. They write their own story.

If the base is uncertain how van the structure be secure.

Hi Troy - Every so often someone will ask with some astrological help with there gambling. I always decline because there's mi good outcome for me. However if you like I will look for an electional astrologer. They specialize in the appropriate time to undertake a venture.

Troy - I think there is because the symbols are created. How can you verify a meaning, what can you compare it to check it. Its like language translation. You can't verify a definition between two languages since some words ad concepts don't exist in the second language. So basing science in symbols us problematic. There are scientist that will agree with me. I'll post the link later.

I let you. Personally I would am a bit lower than power ball.

Troy that may mean that symbols are not scientific. Which would mean anything using symbols would not be scientific. Since symbols only have meanings we give them. So language, numbers,mathematics and any thing that uses them would not be scientific.

There's a Dvd you have seen it I forget the name. They argue that the bible is actually an astrological text. The Son dies cor three days then rises. This happen to the Sun at the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. It looks like it stops moving. When it starts moving again. Days are getting longer. This occurs about Dec 21. Some have argues that Jesus is the Sun and the twelve apostles are the zodiac. I don't have an opinion on this though. I have to tell you I would love to win the lottery twice. And say how could astrology possibly work. With a really big smirk. I happen to personally know an astrology who has won more than one small jackpots. So we'll see.

Troy - How would you define a science. With any symbolic language there will be differences in interpretation. I believe there's a quote from a quantum physicists to other scientist, "If it makes sense to you,then you dealt didn't understand it." There is an interesting intarticle in Wikipedia about mathematics. I believe it is on the link of "were numbers discovered or created." Which is an unanswered question in mathematics. Some philosophers of mathematics or it may have been mathematicians said, "mathematic(numbers) could be a belief system. Which would relegate all of science to a belief system. There are some rules and definitions that are astrologers agree on as being fundamental. Whether those rules are used in individual application is another issue. The christians are right and they are wrong. Astrology can be used for witchcraft, wish raft and spells. The only people who knew who Jesus was were three astrologers. Check out the etymology of Magi. I believe magic comes from. The root magi.

Pioneer - My understanding of Astrology is also limited and I don't know how it works but I believe I know why it works. Its is incredibly vast. For me it is a philosophical system that has informed and shaped me. There are only a few things that leave me in awe. Astrology, the human spirit, imagination and Love. There may be others but it is late and I am tired.

Mundane - Geopolitical. Astrolocstion where us the best place to live. Pioneer - Astrology is pretty robust because it is a language. So you can take the letters of the alphabet and describe things or make new words. The only limit is the limit of your own vocabulary and imagination. The other interesting thing about an astrological chart is that, it is the combination of space and time. So if I see a chart I can work out not just when but where in the world it us referring to, by the angles of the houses and the planets.

Troy - There ate rules and techniques in all branches of astrology. There are several branches of Astrology: Financial; Medical; Weather Forecasting; Relational; Nstsl; Psychological; Hoary answering of questions; Electionsl when is the best time to start; Gambling, Planting and Magick. There may be others but I cxnt think if them.

I think Astrology is a soft science, that is only limited by its practitioners.

Will have to check it our

I have been a few situations where I could choose to help someone or remain safe. Two out of three I helped. With one I was about to run but someone else ran to help and I assisted them. Those situations either you react or think, sometimes both. So like many things the answer isn't always obvious. All three events happened more than a decade ago but I still remember them.

Being a fanatic is not currently part of my personality. I used to be a Prince fanatic. Perhaps I should become more fanatical. Since they show an irrational devotion.

I reckon it would be easier to read emotions. I think the mind is luke an iceberg. Much lies in the subconscious. it's like you can only save tour mother or your spouse. Who would you save. Would I give up my life probably not, because then I wouldn't be around to protect them. Great personal sacrifice probably not. I have noticed that mothers are mote likely to say yes to all your queries re their children. I also find that mothers tend to get more upset when kids misbehave. Its the, "I have given up dough fir you and you are ungrateful." Do I treat my kids better then strangers. Yes, but I expect more from them.

I have no way of knowing what people do, majority, minority, elite or plebian. Nor do I know how it would be possible. I think there are a few ways of knowing. Experience, being told, instruction, experimentation and intuition. U like to think I use the last two more than the first three.

I am passionate or driven about my beliefs, but they are beliefs not facts. I also think that beliefs are arbitrary. No I encourage my children to think for themselves. No I wouldn't think less of people who weren't open minded. That may be you projecting. I would day that I am curious. Recently though I feel rewarded for my curiosity.

Troy you are mistaken. On two counts. I stated what do you believe, I am fanatical about. Plus I don't think I behave fanatically.

Troy - glad to hear it. I would say there aren't any absolutes. In the interest of impartiality what do you believe I am fanatical about except learning and communicating. I eagerly/nervously await your reply.

A fanatic holds a belief and is not willing to examine it. In addition this belief influences them to act in an abnormal manner. A can of Justin Bieber who has their room wall. Papered. With his posters. And is single minded in their devotion. In my opinion would be considered fanatical. My apologies for my statement about your character. Upon reflection it was incorrect and does you an injustice.

Troy why dies someones differing beliefs trouble you. It doesn't have to make sense to you. You haven't lived their life. However I am not talking about fanatics.
