Some astrology questions

So.. this is the year of the dog.
What does this mean to everyone? Who beleives in the chinese astrology stuff? Where could I learn about it (not some huge novel, just a good read)?
Also.. we switch through different sun signs all the time. It felt like things were really awesome for me in December because I'm a sagittarius. I thought that made alot of sense. But I'd like to know.. is there any effect of being in a certain sun sign period (supposedly)?

it is about earths position, relative to all the other starts in the universe..
I'd say hit it!
and BTW.. why can not someone just trace the movement off all starts, and make a model of the universe? is there such a think existing?
I only find this, and it seem SO incomplete..

Why do you consider that inappropriate?
I spent years studing astrology, it does seem like astrology is accurate.
The big problem was, when I learnt about cold reading I realised how the astrology system works.
I'm not trying to annoy anybody I just felt I should share my experience. Its good to view things from as many angles as one possibly can!

It's not astrology accuracy that is in question, but information about it. Anyway, try dealing with your issue trough PMs.

If you're enjoying 2006, then you're going to love 4703. That's right: It's time to ring in the Chinese New Year ... January 29 kicks off the Year of the Dog!
The sign of the dog is known, not surprisingly, for loyalty and generosity. Need to spill a secret? Seek out one of these honest souls and bend that expert listening ear. While Dogs themselves may be reluctant to place their trust in just anyone, once they do, members of this sign can make the best business partners and leaders. And while Dogs might enjoy life more by relaxing their exacting standards from time to time, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better or more faithful friend.
So what can we expect from the upcoming year? The Dog is an ethical and idealistic sign, and the year that bears its name will also bring increased social awareness and interest in society's less powerful members. Any tendencies to take, take, take will be replaced by a widespread sentiment of generosity and selflessness. In general, we will all be imbued with the Dog's keen sense of right and wrong. You can also get a feel for the year to come by checking the compatibility between your Chinese sign and the sign of the dog -- the better your compatibility, the better your year.
Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai (may you have wealth and prosper)!

Dano gave information about astrology that is relevant to his experiences with astrology, why is his post not allowed? I'm interested in what cold reading is.
Re-read the original post and you'll see that it too questions the accuracy of astrology. So why is it allowed

I've discussed privately with dano about this issue. I don't see any problem about referring astrology as pure cold reading, it's an opinion just like people believe mindlessly in astrology is an opinion. What is not fair is the way you or me express such opinion, things like "Astrology sucks dude" don't lead to a civil and respectful discussion.
