This is a Public Service Announcement.

Astrology is horseshit.

I mean complete, 100%, USDA Grade A horseshit. It's as real as phrenology or dowsing. It was invented by ignorant, primitive, superstitious people who assigned meanings to points of light in the sky so as to feel connected to the heavens.

It's not even in the same class as, say, acupuncture, which does work - just not for the mystical reasons some think.

Enough already. Let it go. Or if you must, at least throw in some runes or Tarot cards to liven things up.

belief is the only thing that fuels our perception of the universe. it is far to vast and entropic, and we are so desperate for absolutes, that we will never really understand it.

Well, yes for Catholicism and other religions, no for mathematics. Were mathematics as "real" as astrology, you wouldn't be able to read this, since there would be no computers and no Internet.

"i mean, come on. belief is pretty much the only thing that fuels our species, if you want to believe salvation lies from the coming of a talking dafodil who will lead us all to candy land then you're just as valid as any other scientific or religious system ever created."

"Belief" is fine until it runs bang-on into reality. At that point, belief must give way to acceptance if one wishes to remain sane. One of the benchmarks of sanity is the ability to accurately perceive and process reality. We've had about 2500 years of astrology (going back to ancient Babylon) during which we've not seen one scrap of confirming evidence for either the theory or practice of it. Can the same be said for, say, chemistry or thermodynamics?
