Astrology: thoughts

[Tony.London Suburbs]

I'm still waiting for mine from 2/3 days ago from VBC.

She WAS provided with sufficient information....

[elizlondon]

Ooh this is all very interesting. You've got me digging around on sites trying to find my Mercury sign and the like. I knew I was a virgo dragon, but didn't know I was a virgo fire dragon, plus seem to have a lot of my other signs in libra (not sure what that's meant to mean yet).

Excellent work avoidance activity! :)

[TillieTrotter]

Are you saying nothing about my spelling or nothing about nothing Mac?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I was merely being smutty TT...

[TillieTrotter]

That's fine then Mac, smut away;-)

[barty]

Time for the newby to resurrect this thread I think. Sounds like fun.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Shame on you barty. Declare your 20 year interest first.

[barty]

OMG you outed me.

So there it is... yes i have been into astrology for some time. Clearly then, there is enough in it to occupy this Gemini's mind for that length of time.....cos we are a fickle lot, not given to persistence and carrying things through.

[HAL9000]

It is easy for the rationally minded to dismiss Astrology as bunk. However, those same people often accept far more bizarre concepts such as the Everett-Wheeler Meta-Theory of Quantum Mechanics as sound science.

If we really do live in a relativistic multi-verse governed by quantum mechanics then nothing - however bizarre - can be dismissed with absolute confidence: anything is possible.

The Truth is out there.

As a fellow Taurean I, obviously, don't share your stubborn nature, obviously....

Knowing you are a fellow Taurean has also made me change my view, which I DID hold for 5 Decades, in that Astrology can't be nonsense as we are such kindred spirits in almost everything we do or say its downright spooky...

Both over 6 feet with Blonde Hair and Blue Eyes, as well...

You're not the Bruvver I never knew who was Born with the forenames Cuthbert Tarquin Sebastian somewhere near Sheen are you davey ? ( "davey" as we might be more closely related than you realise M8)....

Those are my middle names. Stranger things and all that....

...although our poor Ma would have suffered with a 30 year gap between us. Unless it was a mutual father... That d----d Army Brigadier! Bloody cad.

[barty]

Waaaaahh

You're all mad.

Nah! I reckon, on the balance of probabilities, you are, indeed, mi bruvver, so in future I will no longer be your "nemesis" but your bestest M8 on here and "have your back" on here bruv..:)-D

[david_carnell]

Keep your friends close etc etc....

[Tony.London Suburbs]

I only ask one thing david.

In our newly formed "alliance" will you stand in front of me and not behind me. ( Nothing personal)...:)

[barty]

Just proves what I always said.......Taureans are the best in the Zodiac at producing bull sh.................

Last week two followers of astrology attempted to guess my so-called star sign. These two individuals had spent every working hour with me over a week, plus some six hours each day (for seven days) of the leisure variety. They still hadn't got to the 'correct' star sign after eight attempts.

[Brendan]

If I were you I would never invite them to my birthday party again.

[Asset]

I bet they got it within 4 after that though

[louisiana]

Funnily enough, they gave up after eight attempts, spluttering and then sliding into silence.

When I moved here from North London, I noticed that Russell Grant's astrology column in the local paper here was the same as the one in the Hackney Gazette the previous week.

It's clearly all a lot more complex and mysterious than people imagine.

[barty]

If newspaper astrology columns are, in your mind, all there is to astrology, you are mistaken. Anyone can write those with very little astrology knowledge. "Proper" astrologers will put their name to them to keep the wolves from the door between in-depth astrological consultations.

[louisiana]

ianr, this beautifully illustrates a key permaculture principle: utilisation of outputs from one system as inputs to another :)

[ianr]

You're right, barty. I suspected he didn't know my birth time and place, so didn't give it much credence. Had I done so, I'd probably have moved even further south.
