Astrology Science / Gravity Question

DevilsAdvocate said:
Didn't you already assume that I'm two feet tall? To get my two feet just two feet lower than my head I have to really scrunch down. I've been kicking this around a while and would like to nail it down. I'm tendon to feel like you are pulling my leg with some corny leap of logic, but I wouldn't want to make a heel of myself and become arch enemies. :boggled:

Sorry, the 'feet' is a typo. My units are meters. You'd actually have to stretch out.
 
It's a slight derail, but I've heard it said that notwithstanding the scientific nonsensicality of astrology, it's wrong in it's own terms because, after characteristics were first ascribed to the main zodiacal signs, long term astronomical evolution has shifted the phase of the actual signs in the sky against their positions in the calendar. I think the result was that we are one "house" out from when astrology was invented so Taureans are actually born under Gemini (or vice versa, I can't remember and it doesn't matter), so really modern "Taureans" should actually behave like Geminis.

Does anyone know about this?
 
I knew about it. I should be sure to bring it up if I get in a debate with an astrologer.

They know about it, but they have some lame excuse for when people bring it up (like "oh but you have to use the classical constellation times", though one could mention the calendar has also changed a lot too since those days).

It's called "Precession". :)
