Astrology is suck a bunch of garbage. Astrologers claim that they are sooooo knowledgeable about the "heavens". Yet they are using the "original" star signs from 2000+ years ago. Too bad that because of local(Earth) reasons the stars in the sky are not in the same position they were 2000 years ago. I'm not talking about stars moving in the sky, but what is "up" in the sky at a given time.

I was born on Jully 22nd. According to the ohhh soooo knowledgeable astrologers, I would be a cancer because that is "The sign" at that time. But in REALITY(something astrologers know very little) cancer is about 6 months away from actually being "the sign" as defined 2000+ years ago. They just go by what is written a book. They wouldn't be able to name a star to save their lives. You should spend your money on lottery tickets, you have a better chance of being correct.

........ not in the same position they were 2000 years ago.........

If my memory serves me right this occurs from the natural 'wobbling' of the Earth on it's axis like a top. There's a 24,000 year cycle to this if I remember correctly.

Want to make an astrologer's face lose all expression? Ask them what "Precession of the Equinoxes" is.
