What's the deal with horoscopes?
    #5728900 - 06/08/06 10:56 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Are these things for real, or is it just a business like everything else. Sometimes I read them and all I'm left is mumbling to myself "....what the fuck is that supposed to mean..."

There must be some history of truth and knowledge behind them. But it just seems so easy to make up and post it on a website.

No,

my ex girlfriend could tell you what sign you were after talking briefly to her. I saw her do it to 2 of my friends. She totally believed in it and after her amazing me a few times I am left wondering if she just got lucky or if there is something to that stuff.

born to a certain personality?

the idea that certain personalities are based on WHEN anually you were born? i believe that too.
it's just based on an accumulation of patterns.

Horoscopes are complete horseshit, as anyone with an ounce of intelligence will realize. The idea that celestial bodies could have any kind of effect on your personality is total rubbish. The doctor in the delivery room had more of a gravatational pull on you that any star or planet, but you don't hear astrologers asking if he was fat or not. It's the same as psychic readings, tarot cards, voodoo and the Bible: interesting relics of a bygone era that anyone should be embarassed to truly believe.

Think magnetic fields position of stars, moon, sun. The effect they have on a developing fetus.

I'm as agnostic with horoscopes as I am with religion. I think it is ignorant to assume we can understand anything about these things.I say keep your mind open to all posibilities and relish the mysteries that we can't explain.

none, the next closest star is 4.5 light years which is too far to have any affect here

Does anyone know why strippers always seem to be interested in astrology? Such a turn off...

I don't go to strip clubs but an ex became a stripper and got all interested in astrology when she never was before. So I dunno except I can confirm your observation. Maybe stale cigarette smoke and single dollar bills kill brain cells.

It's just when you lose the sense of self that leads you to believe in something more powerful than you since you've lost all control of any life you've ever had. Whether it be stripping, astrology, religion, or stale cig smoke and guys like me getting kicked out of the club.

Strippers probably use it for a line anyway. Makes it seem deeper than their shallow selves. The higher power that controls you is always better than taking responsibility for your own actions.

I am a pisces. Go to any astrology page and read the most in-depth description of a pisces, and that's a description of me. I'm not saying that proves astrology, just take it as you will. But it's true.

But according to the sidereal zodiac, I am an aquarius. Go to any astrology page and read the most in-depth description of an aquarius, and that is kinda how I've been feeling lately.

Ah fuck it, it's horseshit.

No; truth, being alive, was not halfway between anything. It was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to insure sterility.

Only connect...

I really don't. When I turned 21 I was friends with two strippers who wanted to throw me a party at their club and I even turned that down. It's like going to a 5 star restaurant, paying to look at their food, then going home to eat ramen. Or if you do manage to snag one of the good looking entrees it just gives you food poisoning anyway. I don't understand why people would waste their money like that. If you must blow money on some chick, at least find one who will pretend to like you a little longer than one night.

i dont think that u are born with a personality i think that your personality comes from how u act around other people and the people that you are around because if your around somebody that drinks alot of soda then you might start drink soda yourself its all about what your like and how you grew up i think

OK to sum it all up you are trying to say everybody is different, and sees things in different ways.  I still think Ythan has had dollar bills in his mouth, while a stripper dances naked on him.. :wink:..  :laugh:
