I'm a scorpio dragon. Is that a problem?
In the 1960s, a French psychologist and statistician Michael Gauquelin mixed the charts of ten murderers who had been hanged with ten average citizens, and invited astrologers to identify them from the charts. Predictably, the few astrologers who took up the challenge failed miserably. But in another test, he showed how people are desperate to believe in astrology.
He sent 500 people what they thought was a reading of their charts and asked for their response. About 95 per cent of those who replied said that the chart was in agreement with their life and character. But what they had read was actually the reading of the horoscope of Marcel Petiot, a serial killer. Twenty years later, an ABC anchor pulled a similar trick in public. He invited a noted astrologer and gave her a serial killers charts. The astrologers descriptions included enormously bright great charm a sense of moral propriety The anchor then passed on the reading to 20 students from whom he had collected charts earlier and said this was their reading. All felt that the astrologer had got it spot on

Make things so vague that it could apply to them and people will see that it does.

pile of bollocks as far as i'm concerned.
I have to agree....but I do think the planets do have an affect on people, I mean just look at ancient civilizations who used the planets to shape their cultures...
people who oppose atrology also have to take into account that societies and families affect people as well...
is astrology real?...who knows
cheeky bugger!
I haven't found something to replace astrology yet, which is capable of explaining a few uncanny things to me. Science had better catch up with my life soon.
And a mere sun sign is not much to go on, OP.
i'll forgive you,
but only because your cute, fuzzy avatar reminds me of a puppy i once kicked.
