I find astrology to be an interesting topic.

I'm certainly not going to get as bent about it as some of the people here seem to be though.

I'm a Taurus, if that means anything. I gotta say, it's somewhat "on" when it comes to me. Not just because I want to believe it, I had no interest in it until someone else pointed out how much I acted like a "typical taurus"

I dunno, perhaps there is a scientific lapse in being able to prove this.

I kind of theorize about a collective conciousness, people have the same thoughts at the same time sometimes, or feel the same emotions sometimes.

I just wonder if science missed something in gauging the complexity of life from top to bottom, saying we're made up of all these molecules, constantly being affected by solar energies, gravitational pull, chemistry in the brain, radio transmissions and all sorts of invisible things passing through our bodies.

to stick strictly to astrology, you'd have to measure the impact of your molecular make-up at birth, given your location and the time, based on the planets, and, what a lot of people just dont consider, the infinite amount of stars, which all exist, therefore have some sort of effect on SOMETHING.

I think astrology is only able to "guess" because theres not enough scientific ability to actually measure the effect of a planet or a star billions of years away causing whatever sort of butterfly effect that, if you want to be purely scientific, supposedly caused us to evolve from the ocean through some weird big bang theory.

You can't even touch astrology without touching the origin of life, and honestly, I think things are far too complex to be an accident, but I think at the same time it's hard to believe in something like the christain "god".

I wouldn't doubt that we have an origin that is completely unthought of at this point.

overall though, I still reach the conclusion that it's all inconclusive, and theres no point trying to figure it out, I don't think we were even meant to figure it out, I don't know, to me, figuring it out solves nothing. Even if I did know where I came from, I really don't see how it would help me live my life.

I rule nothing out, but I adopt nothing either.
