But one is "Zodiac sign and traits." :covereyes

One is a placard on an inflatable watercraft, and the other is what an Alabama pet owner gives to his/her canine for being a "good dog", but that's not important right now.
 
"Now, you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid scientific documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true."

-"Weird Al" Yankovic

But for helpful advice, take your own skeptical position. The question may have been put there because that's the right answer!

How about something like "I don't do astrology - however, I have an interest in astronomy"

This way, you aren't belittling anyone and you are letting some of your personality through. You answer both parts of the question accurately AND you come out looking good.

(assumption: You have an interest in astronomy, but let's be serious.... Who doesn't?)

I would go with this advice.
 
Thanks everyone, I shall tuck a lotn of those away for future use but for this I went with something close to BTMO's. "I prefer astronomy to astrology , as it has the advantage of being real." Hopefully not too snotty!

-flails arms in the air in a "Kermit the Frog" kind of way-

Yay!

I win!

;)

Let us know how it turns out.

:D
 
How it will turn out is that it will be stuck on the wall with the others and no one will look at it, or care about my defiant little candle in the dark. :rolleyes:

That is absolute gold. I've seen it before, but it is still a gem of a quote.
 
For something a bit more aggressive you could quote from Lucy Mangan's awesome anti-astrology rant in the Guardian, e.g.:

"I'm whatever sign whose prediction this week read, 'On Sunday, a friend who has masqueraded as a rational human being for the 15 years of your acquaintance will stand revealed before you as just another cack-brained, gibbering fool swirling in a festering cesspit of stupidity'."
 
Do you want the job ? Swallow it and ignore it: put your real sign there. Unless you value skepticism more than a regular salary that is. Usually that type of question anyway is limited to recruitment, and hiring, not to the internal working of a firm for medium and big firms. Be wary if it is a small firm because a single person could pervade the whole firm with its belief. But for emdium and big firm the chance are next to NIL. So swallow it ignore it and after you are hired, shrug it off.
