Sounds like confirmation bias to me, but I will say no more.
Different versions? What do you mean?

I'm not using different versions of Astrology, that's something you are assuming. Why do different versions of Astrology have to be contradicting? Can't they be complementary? I say the only way of finding that out is by yourself, by making an honest attempt.
You see it as confirmation bias, the way I see it is that nobody is better qualified than me when we talk about what I experienced.

I mean different versions as in something that makes you choose one website as credible on astrology and another website as not credible.

The thing is you seem to not be familiar with the language. You seem to have no reference point so you see it as all being made up.

what do you mean poll fail? I'm pretty sure it covers all possible dates unless you were, like, born on midnight. There's always STAL too.
