Back in the old days, astrology was considered a science as a branch of astronomy and it was taken very seriously. It wasn't until after the middle ages that things began to change. When the church and science began conflicting openly with each other, certain things that were once credible subjects were considered heresy if not downright diabolic, such as astrology.



In the past 50 years or so, astrology has seen a resurgence in the western hemisphere. It is still considered a science as well as an art by most practitioners today. It is a science because it is the study of the planets' influences on a person's chart as well as the world at large. It is an art because it is subject to interpretation. We astrologers realize that not everything we read is true and that it is always open to someone's opinion. On the other hand, there are certain things the community has learned which we can pretty much attest to being tried and true if not fully accurate.



I realize this is a rather vague answer, but it is a difficult subject to pin down simply because of the differences of opinion. I myself find astrology fascinating and even though I have been studying it for over 20 years, I still find new and interesting things to learn. Astrology, when you get down to it, is very complex. It is so much more than what you read in the daily newspaper. Each person is unique and therefore the influence of the planets will affect them differently. We are not just our Sun Signs, we are much, much more.



Many people do not realize just how deep you can go with astrology, and they chalk it up to being mumbo jumbo simply because they do not see beyond the typical subject matter of a daily sun sign horoscope. With so many false astrologers out there today trying to get your money, I do not blame these people for not realizing that there is much more to astrology.



If you are truly interested in astrology, may I suggest you get a personalized chart done by a reputable and professional astrologer? You will see the difference. For a list of some astrologers in your area, visit the American Federation of Astrologer's website: http://www.astrologers.com/



Good luck to you and may the stars guide you!

Find one thing that astrology clearly does better than random chance or other alternatives. Even the smallest amount. I'll wager that you can't. If it does not have a minimal effect anywhere, time to find something that does. Astrologers and scientists can't find a damn thing.



Astronomy came from astrology, one became a real science, the other became a divination.



"If one must have faith to believe something or to believe IN something, then the likelihood of that something having any truth or value is considerably diminished. The harder work of inquiry, proof, and demonstration is infinitely more rewarding, and confronted with findings far more "miraculous" and "transcendent" than any theology."

When you had that faith on stars and planets, did it do any good to increase your faith on such basis? If not, why are you lamenting now ? This is proof enough. Your faith on stars and planets is a weakness born out of superstition. Stars and planets, which are inanimate objects, have neither made you or your destiny. Such faith in stars and planets has no logical or scientific basis. And contrary to popular belief, it is also against the teachings of religion. You will not find a single great religious teacher or Guru, cutting across various religion, who preached, practiced or advised on the basis of such faith or advised people to live on such basis. Instead, have faith on yourself and on God and God alone. To give you one example that it is not a science I give you one clue. It is said that saturn becomes very strong and does good when in libra and so also Jupiter when in cancer. Have you found out from people who study astronomy whether actually saturn or jupiter go into any change to acquire strength when they go to libra or cancer as the casy may be.? There are numerous such examples on which astrological predictions are made which have no logical or scientific basis. It is a good thing that you lost your faith on a superstition.

I stay home with my kids, but if I did utilize daycare I wouldn't pull them out for several reasons. First one is the kids get very connected and attached to their providers, so this would cause unnecessary problems. Also, assuming just as the hetero daycare working will refrain from making out with his/her spouse, I assume the homosexual daycare worker will as well. I am choosing to homsechool as well, and not to convert society to my way of thinking, but to protect my children from children that are raised by parents who couldn't care less what they watch, do, engage in, etc. Hope this helps from the perspective of a born again Christian :-)

i dont understand why people challenge astrology.no one has seen god.but almost all people believe in god.why?

different people believe in different god

why?

i mean jesus,allah,shiv,budha and so on

no body force someone to believe something.if you dont believe in astrology.its ok.no body goes to your house and force you to believe it.

I believe,because personally meet few person who have divine power.they can see future without horoscope or your hand.the can predict anything with time and date with gaurantee.but these people are not professional.they live in their own world.they look like normal man and dont expose their power to get appriciation.because they are beyond these things
