So fellow unbelievers...what do you think about Astrology? Also a load of nonsense?
Have you ever answered questions about what your thought of this or that? And then told you are this type of person. It is found in some businesses and governments. It is an attempt by management to determine the best mix of people. It can be harmless or devastating. I call this 'pigeon-holing'; and attempt to put round pegs in square holes. Most of the time it will fit, but it never fits everyone. Astrological traits are a similar attempt to attribute qualities to people. Modern astrology is wrong anyway -- it uses fixed dates, rather than the actual constellations and there are 13, not 12 signs. It has as much value as one wishes to place in it -- though I think flipping a coin is more reasonable.

Nonsense. In fact the signs used are based on configuration of the universe 2000+ years ago and have shifted so if you were born in what is called the Gemini sign you were actually born in the Cancer sign. I think I am correct in the shift direction haven't done much research on it.
This is correct, due to precession. The Earth remains tilted to the plain of the solar system the same amount, but actually spins around like wobbling top over time. In the future, the North Start will no longer be the North Star, replaced by whatever star the north pole points to at a given era, if any. I may have the number wrong, but I believe it takes 26,000 year to complete a wobble. So yes, the original constellations backing the Zodiac are all out of sync.
@godef Thank you for the replies. My knowledge has been increased and I like that.
I have never followed astrology. I don't even know all of the signs of all of my kids.
Lol me too
My neighbor informed me three years ago that I am a Scorpio. She's weirdly involved with astrology. I was curious about what that meant and read stuff online to find out. My conclusion: meh.
I think so but a large portion of important women in my life have been Scorpios...
Just coincidence.
@JohnDublin I was just realizing I don’t know. Will have to ask.
@JohnDublin, @Quazi my mom, my wife, and most of my girlfriends....all scorpios...
