I truly believe in them.

Im a Virgo and this is what it says about me:

They are fully able to put their intelligence to use and get things done for themselves. It is possible however that their narrow mindedness causes their creativity to suffer and they may lead regular routine lives. They may dwell too much on the past and over complicate things and this may limit their ability to move forward and confuse themselves. In conclusion, Virgos are able to be independent but the less evolved types will have difficult if someone is not there helping them to achieve more and not be so critical of themselves.

THATS ALL TRUE!!!

The lack of consistency and the contradictions make astrology false, not the skeptics.

If any of astrology's claims did better than random chance, it would not need blind belief.

"In childhood our credulity serves us well. It helps us to pack, with extraordinary rapidity, our skulls full of the wisdom of our parents and our ancestors. But if we don't grow out of it in the fullness of time, our ... nature makes us a sitting target for astrologers, mediums, gurus, evangelists, and quacks. We need to replace the automatic credulity of childhood with the constructive skepticism of adult science."

Nope. It's just something fun.

dawkins proves nothing here.
Consulting the tabloids - you get misinformation and generalizations not matter which subject you're interested in (apart from sport)
Cheap trick from Dawkins there, I was expecting a more substantial argument from him.

If you were to take the findings of cutting edge science and Try discussing it with just anybody you came across in the general public how far do you think you would get?

to prove or to disprove it, it needs to be looked at rather closely.

No. Astrology is very silly and you may as well study tea leaves or go listen to any charlatan psychic. These things are all designed to rip you off and/or control you in some way. Just like religion. Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time.

Great quote from Dawkins that Andy Keen used. I defy anybody to read the God Delusion with an open mind and not realise how futile and cheap these things make our glorious world. Evidence is knowledge.

I don´t really believe in zodiac signs, and I really don´t WANT to believe in them but for some strange reason, the thing about compatibility or chemistry with certain other signs or lack thereof is mostly true, at least in my experience.

And I go to Susan Miller´s website www.astrologyzone.com once in a month, and funny enough, certain tendencies and dates are often on point.

The "strange reason" is called subconscious conditioning. It's a scientifcally proven phenomenon and is used by cool people like Derren Brown to disprove these things that people usually fall for.

And 'if' astrology was true - why does it only work "mostly" and "often"? Why are they not on the money each and every time?

No.

I do believe in Astrology to a certain extent...the basic forecasts for each signs.. thats just very general, but when you want to really learn about your specific personality traits and such, you have to build a chart, and from what I have seen, it shows which signs in your chart are more dominant than others- its very specific and it also shows we do have all 12 zodaic signs in influence. It just depends on how much.

me too!

I believe the universe influences our personalities and destinies. Therefore we are born when stars and planets are in certain alignments and it does affect us.

I don't believe that human beings are adept at reading the signs accurately....

I used to, but not anymore.

I'm on the fence about it. On the one hand, anyone can read their sign and find some sort of similarities. There's just enough vagueness there. On the other hand, there have been times that I've met people and I could guess their sign just based on their personality and what I know about whatever sign I guessed they were. Even some of the posts I read on here, I could tell. For example, I know a lot of Aries women and I can usually spot them easily when I meet new ones.

I like to think that because the universe is comprised of patterns we all live more or less within the sphere of influence of said patterns. and seeing that this is true then how can we NOT hear the music of the cosmos? how can we deny ourselves the interconnectedness of our own uniquely personal orbits?

i think i'll change my sign to ophiuchus

i feel connected to you right now
