Just as a warning please no arguing with someone else whether you believe in Astrology or find it crap. DO NOT discuss and/or bring religion into this discussion. That means Christianity, Judiasm, etc. that last thing I want is for someone to get offended because of their beliefs. If religion is brought into discussion the thread will be shut down unfortunately. This is strictly enforced by Joe Moore so please be respectful I believe discussion of Greek mythology would be alright, seeing as it is related to the concepts here. I've been reading horoscopes lately. Most of the time they are correct. Once my horoscope read that a large amount of money was coming my way. That very day I recieved a pretty nice paycheck from working on the holiday shift. http://www.mysticalblaze.com/AstrologyGemini.htm I am a gemini. It's funny that I do exhibit all of these traits. Everything is correct. Many say that geminis have a split personality. That couldn't be closer to the truth when it comes to me hahaha. I'm reading that page more and more, now I'm laughing because it's all true about me it's freaky kinda. Whats your sign?
Funny how the mind will bend things to make it appear that way. Just like how people say that they dreamed something would happen before it happens. I am a Gemini also and also have all those traits. In the Chinese Zodiac I am a dog and my wife agrees, I am a dog. :-( Chuck
It is isn't it? I've become addicted to reading them. Though the ones that they put in our school newspaper are completely stupid. Mine said I was most likely going to... break out into song? WTF? Other than that alot of things that I've read in my horoscope have come true. Last year mine said that an Aeries would catch my eye soon, later that month I had a crush on this girl in my class. It's funny how many ancient civilizations were so spot on with many things.
Mindtrick? I doubt it. I've never read anything so close to myself like this before. It's not a mind trick when it's true. How is something like that a mind trick in the first place? I'm lost
Chinese zodiac - horse Western zodiac - cancer And I find those daily horoscopes a absolute joke IMO (which will never happen).
The wierd thing about daily horoscopes is just how it seems like more than just a coincidence. Like what I said about getting my paycheck. It's wierd that, that daily horoscope was on a day that I recieve my paycheck. I've never really believed in coincidences like that in the first place. Something like that is just too large on a scale. I've forgotten about the Chinese Zodiac. The one that's always on the dinner mat when you go eat at an asian resturant I'm the rooster. Which is cool because roosters are birds, and birds are dinosaurs
Have you ever had a dream and later on while doing something realized that you dreamt that, and it is happening exactly how you dreamt it? That is your mind filling in parts of the dream with what you are currently seeing. You didn't actually dream that. The same with Astrology to a point, character traits are divided up on a rotation. You look and find your sign by dates. Reading what is written about your character traits you realize that in fact, you do have those character traits. Or you have almost all of them. Your mind then makes you believe that those are your dominant traits even when you may have traits not attributed to the Gemini. Chuck
The reason why astrological profiles appear to be so accurate is, ironically, because they're super vague. See: YouTube - James Randi on Astrology On coincidence: YouTube - It *could* just be coincidence Aries/Tiger
