Guardian article about astrology submitted for general interest to members of the forum. Link: [I was an astrologer – here's how it really works, and why I had to stop] Excerpt:

Conspiracy theorists are claiming 23 Sept 2017 fulfills a prophecy in Revelation 12, because the constellation Virgo has the moon at her feet and the sun near her head, plus 'twelve stars'. Given that Leo always follows Virgo, I don't think we need to be as concerned as President Donald Trump...

(A stranger once guessed birth signs of people at dinner party including me.) Magician guesses zodiac birth sign? Google that, or go to FB video link below which supposedly shows a guy on street successfully guessing strangers signs. Dont ask me. The quote at bottom is from...

Whenever I use the videos by Sagan, Randi, etc, to debunk astrology, I get replies that "Sun Signs" are nonsense, real astrology is not about that, but about the so called "Natal Charts". Unfortunatelly, most debunking I was able to find on the internet is always about Sun Signs. Obviously...

For those outside the U.K. David Tredinnick is a Member of Parliament, and is on the House of Commons Science and technology Committee, incredibly on both counts! Perturbed I was to see the following piece on the BBC website today. Sadly they have given space to the uberprat to promote his...

Via Slashdot.org Not good news [PDF]- we're going the wrong way - but I suppose as a higher proportion of students learn about astronomy, more will also confuse the two similar words. At least that's what I want to think. I believe that children are our future, teach them well and let them...

Fantastic puff piece (with a tiny soupçon of skepticism) from the once respected Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2014/jan/18/susan-miller-astrologer-interview Make note: Though there is this: The comments are great! Not too many believers in the Guardian's readership. :D

Has anyone tried to disaprove the birth chart system of Indian astrology ? I don't mean the basic description of your personality or what you read on newspapers but on which dates(e.g. jan 2006- dec 2009) you will make money or be successful and on which dates you will not be successful. They...

I attended the Maker Faire, a wonderful Geekfest in Queens, a couple weekends ago with my kids and their friends, and snapped this rather telling photo: :facepalm:

I work at a local daily newspaper and we publish both crossword puzzles and horoscopes alongside the comics. The last week, we lost our subscription to the crossword puzzle service and the horoscope service so we have been running archives of them to fill in the space. As you might guess, the...
