What is your take on horoscopes? believe in them or not?
    #19361382 -

I am interested in how many shroomerites believe or do not believe in horoscopes, but most importantly, WHY?!

here is my take on it: I think they are fake. They are all written in such a general way that they are all at least partially true for everybody. To coax people into the whole charade.

thoughts?
Do you believe in horoscopes
You may choose only one

Shit is always accurate for me and my wife. Can't explain it, guess I'm not even looking for an answer to be honest.

It's accurate for everyone. It's so intentionally vague.

how do people still not use STAL

I think certain kinds of horoscopes might possibly be ever so slightly predictive


99.9% of the ones you encounter, no


this is the only material i have encountered on the subject that I have been able to take somewhat seriously.



the whole practice is pretty pointless even if it's possible though, in my opinion, because I believe in free will.

its an ancient science which is now considered a pseudoscience thanks to the newspaper. the newspapers and magazines only give you a horoscope with your SUN sign. While the sun sign is important there's also 9 different planets that make a shit ton of aspects with each other. not to mention it's complex and hard to understand.

Pretty much this.

Of course, typically speaking neither my wife or daughters are ever as accurate as my own.
Still can't call it fact, nor do I wish to discuss it's credability.

i guess there would only by 8 other planets but the angles on your natal chart are equally as important. i also really like horary(predictive) astrology.

what doesn't make sense to me is how someone would originally discover how this all works.

Like, how would you know what positions of planets or planets themselves have what effects? and on which people? what?

"If the planet is in this position, you will be more adventerous." what??

the maya was really into it. who knows. the stars have been considered gods but a lot of civilizations and when youre not busy trying to survive why not study the sky? I'm sure they had slaves doing it 24/7

according to tarnas, that isnt how it works. the planets dont have effects on us. it's just there is a microcosm/macrocosm correlational effect that can be studied mathematically. he uses a system of archetypes to discuss the behavioral manifestations that result. most of the book is a historical study; ie on this date in history the heavenly bodies formed these angles relative to each other, and these events happened, showing that the events are classifiable according to the archetypes he has defined and follow a pattern throughout history as the same macrocosmic rientations repeat

this is an example of one of his number charts with the archetype symbols for a particular person, based on when/where she was born and the macrocosmic orientation at that moment relative to her
