Astrology Take it or Leave it?

My quick answer would be leave it.

But I'd buy Cosmo's Bedside Astrology guide.

Cut my teeth on Linda Goodman's Sun Signs.
(Wasn't that every girls reference book in the 70s & 80s)

And here is a delight I always read.

How about you?

1. I don't see astrology as a science.

But it can be used as a "handle" to discuss certain topics. Free Will Astrology is a wonderful example.

3. hmm i was going to ask that question

daily news type things i leave alone. but i do read in depth stuff on politics. 9 out of 10 astrologers predicted a bush win. but they said there would be cheating involved.

they also say there is still a shroud of secrecy around the nation involving the media. we will have a hard time getting the truth out.

they say the bush has good stars for his inauguration but march through April doesn't look so good. so lets hope for the dirt to surface then.

some Arab psychic made a prediction that the prez will be assassinated i hope not. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42142

i want to see him squirm and according to many astrologers squirm he will.

I heart Free Will Astrology / Real Astrology.

"Curiosity did not kill the cat," reports John Olson in Free Stream Velocity, his book of prose poems. "Boredom killed the cat." Let that be your rallying cry in 2005, Libra. In the coming months you will have a sacred duty to elude all situations that make your eyes glaze over. To meet your dates with destiny, you must not tolerate BLAH or HO-HUM in any form. "Curiosity was born with the universe," Olson reminds you. "It redeems and is erotic."

on edit - OOPS - forgot to answer the question.

"Take" is a strong word. I see some things come up that are uncannily accurate. I see others that leave me with a giggle of how far off it is. It's a fun map, but it ain't the territory.

5. Hi Crisco

I really like your take on it.

And I am the Libra - you too?

10. Hi Back, Ben's Mom

Sun, Venus, and ascendent all Libra w/moon in Aries. Is it any wonder I'm conflicted?
