the only reason I ask this, is because one of my friends is convinced that astrology is valid, and he is really into this ****, and whenever I respond to what he has to say, he always has some kind of answer to my question, to which I might have some kind of response, but he is so wrapped up in all the theory, that it never seems to have any effect on him.
does anyone else on here think that astrology is a valid subject?
@existential potential,
Statisticly speaking I belive in astrology, seen how many describtions fits the bill, just that there are so many incompetent astrologers.
@HexHammer,
If by descriptions you mean horoscopes, then of course they "fit the bill". They're always so general, vague, and undetailed, that practically anyone in the world can relate to them in some way.
Anyway, yes, it is silliness.
@Zetherin,
that is what it seems to me also, but he seems to self-assured, I think he reads too many crap books...he's into the whole "2012" thing as well, its so frustrating, and its not as if he's stupid, he's a perceptive guy, he's just become entangled in this ****.
(authoritative voice) This too shall pass.
Here's part of my actual horoscope for today: "There are opportunities around that you should grab hold of."
Well of ******* course there are opportunities today, just as there will be every day, for almost every body. But if dear horoscope was referring to specific opportunities I should take note of today, I sure wish it would have told me which ones! Of course, they never do.
The sad part is, there are some dumb people out there that eat this stuff up. It's really disheartening. You know, that they exist.
@existential potential,
Astrology is valid to the extent we need the sun and our universe to survive.

Pretentious comment of the evening (01:37, United Kingdom), goes to...
@cicerone imposter,
I was born under the sign of Room for Rent.
@cicerone imposter,
Care to expound on that? Or, is not much of an argument for astrology at all, like I think?

Spare me please.
I suggest you spare yourself from that nonsense, if in fact you do believe in that nonsense.

Are you sure you're talking about astrology, as opposed to astronomy?

Please don't put words in my mouth, I really hate that.
All I am going to say is that here in MA, the astrologers I have met hold the following degrees:
Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Michigan
Masters of Divinity in pastoral counseling from Boston University
MSW from Smith College
Masters of Education in counseling (university unknown)
Masters of Science in psychology (university unknown)
Each of these women gave up psychology for astrology because they felt that as astrologers, they could offer clients more concrete, active help rather than simply passive listening.
