It's a stretch, I know. :lol:

Not so far-fetched.....afterall the position of the moon influences gravit which influences the oceans and since we're mostly comprised of water......

I'm Aquarian ;)

Hmm not bad, except the stars do not exert a gravitational force on us because it is too weak as a force considering the distance involved.

Also, our brain chemistry at birth is very different to how it is now - most of our personality is picked up along the way. There are genetic and less obvious dietary factors too (among other things), but unfortunately there is no evidence in favour of the stars alignment at our birth.

And even if there were unknown forces affecting us from the stars, what is our means of interpretation? oursleves? ... obviously pretty weak lol.

I know. But I'm taking it on faith. My own observations about people seem to reinforce at least that much. :)

Scorpio.

Well there's no logic to faith so nobody can argue against it, but at the same time you cannot expect rational people to accept it as proof of anything.

And I believe irrational faith is a very dangerous thing which shouldn't be encouraged. It is the same stuff that causes people to blow themselves up. The same stuff which reinforces hatred at divine levels.

I know astrology is just a little free-spirited nonsense, and relatively harmless - but at the same time it is the root of some pretty horrible stuff which we should have grown out of as a species.

Haven't you ever heard the disclaimer, 'for entertainment purposes only?' At least astrologists use it. The world will be truly awakened on the day that churches do too. :lol:

lol. Religions are disgusting things! They are the worst man made construction - and could inevitably lead to our destruction.

Personal spirituality may be different, but there are always people who will want to manipulate our vulnerability and beliefs for their own gain - and this is all any religion (modern or ancient) has ever tried to do.

(I am not saying there is no afterlife, no God, or whatever else people want to believe in)
