Debunking Astrology besides newspapers Sun Signs

[8enotto]

Mysterious inexplicable energies and rare powers only a few have ( that cannot be detected ) are a staple of astrology.

The power of trust in the vague is truly incredible. In fact no credibility at all.

Indeed, but usually the scammers appear to have some slight clue about what might fit into people's lives. Yesterday's horoscope was so far out that in these strange days where advocating harm is more than just frowned upon, it could almost be classified as a crime.

Not sure where I saw it shared (so apologies if it was right here) but in the last few days I've seen a disclaimer from a newspaper explaining that their horoscopes are written some weeks in advance so may not reflect current safety advice. It might be the single most ironic thing ever written.

For some reason, known only to the strange and perverse AI algorithms employed by Google, Google News has offered me a couple of newspaper horoscopes in the most recent couple of days. I can only speculate that this is an attempt to disabuse me of their accuracy.

I may have already posted this, but my daily horoscope has lately been different. I get forecasts now telling me "It is time to spend time alone". "You will find yourself missing someone who needs to avoid you now". "Keep others away, and let them phone you".

Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald astrologer doesn’t seem to be paying attention to current affairs.

“ If there are any invitations up for grabs seize them with both hands. If not, arrange dinner and fun with a few friends. Everyone is going a little bit stir crazy and so silly entertainment will be a welcome distraction. You’ll very much enjoy the soothing, low-maintenance energy of Water signs right now.”

I know it's bunk and always was, but I'm considering writing to the Rutland Herald and suggesting that their current spate of horoscopes has really jumped the shark. Since they claim to be nearly broke all the time, cutting issues, firing staff and making the paper thinner and smaller, the next cost cutting measure should be to drop that ****.

In fact, I just took a few minutes off from this post and did exactly that. I'll mail it tomorrow.

Interesting that the stars keep up with foreign affairs. LOL

Properly speaking, foreign affairs should keep up with the stars. A prediction of what happened yesterday is of somewhat limited value.

Strange how India is so unprepared for the pandemic.
You would have thought that all those real, like really real vedic astrologers would have given them plenty of warning.

True

What I meant was that the astrologers follow the social/political trend when making predictions. That way they have less risk of being wrong.

Undoubtedly the vultures have likely started to claim they predicted the pandemic, Of course, none of them did.

As for the topic at hand, everyone knows the only real source of future knowledge comes from fortune cookies. preferably ones gotten with some delicious rice, boneless rib, and wonton soup.

I opened one of those the other day. It said,

"Help! I'm being held prisoner in a Chinese fortune cookie factory."

That used to be a stale joke. Now it's come around again, and it might be true.

I had a Sunday School teacher ask me if I thought Astrology was evil and I said yes because it is a fraud that can cost people money. She did not like my rational answer; she wanted me to say people were going to Hell if they used it.

You remind me about a Sunday School teacher I haven't thought about in over 50 years: she listed for us many ways in which the coming of Jesus fulfilled prophesy and asked didn't we think that was amazing. It was only later that I started thinking "did she mean it's too good to be true?"

You’ll very much enjoy the soothing, low-maintenance energy of Water signs right now.”

Sorry, low-maintenance energy ?

You know, like a gasoline fire. Doesn't take much to keep it going

She probably hasn't gotten around to reconfiguring her random word substitution program yet.

Meanwhile our local horoscope is still blindly recommending parties and get-togethers with friends, and such.
