Hey then its time to cash in on that gravy train you have been supporting. Write a book read a chart or a palm. You too can practice this ancient art of taking gullible peoples money! Or put on a tophat and buy a rabbit and entertain children at birthday parties. Either way welcome to the world of the professional astrologer.

Wait relegion dosn't value astrology? What about the babylonians, mayans, romans, greeks, and the vedic faiths? How about ilm al-falak of Islam or nadi of the Tamil Hindus or the decan of the chaldeans. (all of which draw wildly different conclusions) Astology was a major part of all their religions. Christians belive that three astrologers fortold the birth of Jesus and were there to give him gifts. I do agree science dosn't value that which is not observable, testable, and falsifiable.

"...and religion do not value astrology." Tell that to an Indian astrologer.

As I said before for the heavenly bodies and the traits of all people to be aligned must come from some divine being or force because it sure isn't any other known force.

If it wasn't the Supreme Being who has put all past and future events into the heavenly patterns who was it? The Flying Spaghetti Monster?

You keep going on about human phenomenon and science as a distraction; you're avoiding the core issues.

Both science and religion do not value astrology. Astrology values both science and religion. Astrology values our connection to our origin - our universe observed at any given time - planets and constellations. The cycles of the planets and constellations are synonymis with the life cycles of mankind observed over the millenia - told in narrative - not mathematics. How do you describe betrayal or any other human phenomenom in mathematics?

I was a huge skeptic of Astrology all through out the 90's. I used to think how can everyone be chaterized in 12 signs. I made fun of astrologers and felt sorry for them.

Then in 2001 i researched the subject on line. I started with my own chart, i was suprised to find there was such a thing as a chart. I bought books and went to classes and now 8 years later im only just becoming an expert at it.

Astrology isent fortune telling like the movies and newspapers will tell you.

Anyway, that isn't proof, just some tendencies I found. But anyone who doesn't believe in astrology should take a look at Kurt Cobain's chart. He had almost all of his planets in the emotional water signs, and most of them in the extremely sensitive Pisces. This would explain alot why he was that depressed "noone understands me" kind of artist, and why he saw other people as superficial generally, water signs hate superficiality.
You could see the same tendencies in Billy Corgan too.

Sometime ago I tried to find a correlation between the sun signs in musicians, which you could say represents our ultimate purpose. I noticed that most of them were in four specific signs.
I could also see a difference between each sign: Gemini, the multi-genre/instrumentalists, Paul McCartney, Lenny Kravitz
Pisces, the classic moody artist, Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan
Sagitarrius, the revolutionary, Hendrix, Keith Richards, Randy Rhoads
Capricorn, the perfectionists, Jimmy Page, Jeff Lynne

I would go with the sexy. Hahaha!

That is true, and I will try to look into it more than I have. The problems I have with astrology have more to do with the implications of a higher power than with anything else.

Einstein: "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."
