Astronomers with the Minnesota Planetarium Society have dropped a bomb on the zodiac, noting that thanks to the millennia-long effect of the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth, there's about a one-month bump in the alignment of the stars. The result?
"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," Parke Kunkle, a board member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society, told the Star Tribune.
And if the sun isn't in Pisces, YOU'RE not in Pisces. Surprise! You're an Aquarius!
Much of astrology -- called an ancient and complex system that uses math and science to predict the future -- relies upon careful observation of the heavens. And your astrological sign is based on the date of your birth, something that was tied very tightly to the position of the heavens back in Babylonian times.
Seeing stars yet? It all comes down to the 26,000-year procession of the planets through space, he said, noting that a variety of gravitational forces have changed the position of the planets in the sky over time.
Bottom line, the astrological forecasts we've all been turning to may -- gasp! -- not be accurate at all, or at least they may be intended for other readers.

So basically anyone who claims that astrology works for them is full of shit /obvious
People manifest the traits of their sign because they want to.
...That reminds me. I'm printed. I'll be on the shelves Friday!! :lulz:

Yeah, but uh... I thought it was fairly well known that astrological signs didn't sync up with the actual paths of celestial bodies.
Who cares? Not me, that's for sure. Doesn't make me any less of a Gemini. Astronomers should all be rounded up like Sicilian Bandits, and made to live in small, gated communities where they won't be able to spread their lies. What they do, in fact is Witchcraft, and Sorcery. Like Devils. So they really do have to go. Especially Mystic Meg.

Because the practitioners of these vulgar and cheap conjuring tricks are generally not encouraged to stray for long anywhere close to good Christian folks.
And the light's better.
Oh man, this is priceless. Someone should alert Weird Al. He hates astrology.
Astrology rhymes with too many other words for Weird Al to hate it for long. He could get his next 2 songs from Astrology, just as it is! If only he wasn't such a lyrical purist. He might try to not be so soul crushingly wounded every time he was reminded what an arsehole he is when he's been drinking. And maybe not have a drink at all.

Erm.. Horses are "always" fire. That's okay though, I'm a Wooden Dragon. Or, more specifically: Year of the Dragon, Month of the Pig, Day of the Horse, Hour of the Horse. Wood, Water, Fire, Fire.
There are four years, so only fire once every four years. But there are 12 Houses, I think it's about every sixty something years that the same combo of Animal and Element happens. Fire Horse was the most inauspicious combination, and all Fire Horse babies were usually drowned, for luck.

There are 5 elements, actually: Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, Metal. And, yeah you are correct, the elements rotate. Looking at the rotation, turns out I'm an Earth Dragon.
ETA: And, yes, it's a 60 year cycle.

If it's seasons based, then why do some zodiac columns say shit like "Jupiter's alignment means your investments will pay off" and shit like that, if they're going to be wrong at least be consistent about it. It's like the think their readers are idiots or something.

No, but you said that they "should at least be consistent about it", but if you read the articles I linked to, they have been. At least Western astrologers. Even the astronomer who is being cited as claiming astrological signs have shifted didn't really claim that for tropical astrology, which is the system most familiar to Westerners.
In my opinion it's as important to not use bogus debunking as it is to reject bullshit in the first place, because bogus debunking leaves you susceptible to debunking.

I didn't mean that in the sense that they have changed their position over time. However, from the first article:
Quote"Astrology is geocentric. It relates life on Earth to the Earth's environment, and seasons are the most dramatic effect, which is why we use the tropical zodiac," he said.
I find it inconsistent that they say it is geocentric, then refer to Mercury and Jupiter etc, in their readings (or some of them do at least).

I am confused by your statement, what are you finding inconsistent?
I've gotten 10 emails in a day by people freaking out over this from the newspaper. Seriously.
I guess people take these things more seriously than I thought. It's kind of scary, because a few people sounded genuinely upset to the verge of "If I'm in this 13th sign now for real I will kill myself" scary.
I did my best to explain to them that Western astrologers follow the tropical zodiac and we won't be following the new cycle, and now I hope for the best. (I didn't want to crush souls).

I guess part of me thinks that if it is geocentric, why have any relation to the stars/planets at all?
Also, I can see how you could argue (without looking at statistics/data) that the time of year you were born could impact on your life in some way (ie maybe kids born in winter are more likely to die of pneumonia) and extrapolate from there, but I cannot see how the position of Jupiter could affect you at all when you are born (at least no more than anyone else in the world). But inconsistencies when apply an entire different belief set (ie mine) to someone else's (ie astrologers) are going to occur I guess.
Regardless it was just an off-hand remark and I may have been wrong.

So, of Facebook I've read things like, "Oh, this only applies to the people being born now; whatever sign you were born in, you still are." As if this was some sort of instantaneous change that didn't happen over the course of centuries, and didn't apply say, last year.
It just serves to underscore the very arbitrary nature of astrology, and makes me giggle.

"Geocentric" = basing everything in the sky on its relationship to the earth. Astrology was originally a navigational coordinate system based on the positions of certain constellations in the sky throughout the course of the year.

Ha! I like this.
Frankly, I did momentarily have fun with the thought of all the headsplodey that was about to happen when all the people who keep telling me that I'm a classic Taurus had to get used to the idea that REALLY, I'M AN ARIES. I was kind of disappointed when the whole thing was debunked.
Then again, I know how it would go. Just like it always goes, people would simply whitewash their memories and turn my entire 40-year history into one in which it makes perfect sense that I'm really an Aries.
Also, I still don't know what signs my kids are. This horrifies people, so I make it a point to never retain that information when people tell me.
It's not really important. Very rarely do people ask me what my sign is during normal conversation anyway. I will get the "when's your birthday?" followed by, "OH MY GOD YOU'RE A FUCKING LEO! *hiss*" on occasion. But I could really care less.
I figure I'm just a selfish, creative bitch naturally.

It's not really important. Very rarely do people ask me what my sign is during normal conversation anyway. I will get the "when's your birthday?" followed by, "OH MY GOD YOU'RE A FUCKING LEO! *hiss*" on occasion. But I could really care less.
I figure I'm just a selfish, creative bitch naturally.
LEO - Stay away from single socks this week. Somebody you trust will give you a plant, while having your seat. Something you planned will have the seeds of trust. Do not go to Cyprus.
Its still based on the sky, but the marketable part slowly dropped the actual chart. Seasons matched nature or so they say. Most have made up for this by including the sign before or after whatever is closer in days. So I'm a aries/tarus
But...fuck...the debunking of the debunking done made my headsplodey...why is tropical astrology called astrology if it's not based off the stars?
Should call it tropical geology.
You expected pagans to make sense?

Yes. But as always I am mislead forgetting that the average person is significantly less intelligent and rational than me and that most of them even less so.
NO. It's the position of the constellations in the sky, as seen Earth, at any given time of year. You have to know the time of year in order to know where the stars are supposed to be. Think of it as a navigational system and forget about the fortunetelling part. It totally makes sense.
did you know most old people have Eris housed in Libra, while the younger generation its resting with her brother Aries
I don't know what the fuck that means, but cool?
something about having balanced chaos/order where as our chaos energies is stuck with the god of war
I'm sure he'll put it to good use.
