Do you believe in astrology?

Well, as it's October yet again, I get into the mood for continuing my hugely successful 'Do you believe in...?' series.

This is most likely the last of these, so I hope we can make the most of it as a community.

This time we're looking at astrology.

Do you believe in astrology at all?

Personally I don't believe in it at all but I do have a friend who does and who claims the chart of, say, Adolf Hitler shows all of the ups and downs of his turbulent life. He's an intelligent man, but he is rather a lover of conspiracy theories, chief amongst them being the Hollow Earth Theory and Nazi UFOs flying into the centre of the Earth. I know...

Then you have 'Your Stars' in the newspapers and magazines that everyone from say a 98-year-old great-granny to a 15 year-old schoolboy reads and which gives them the same same readings that they can apply to their very different lives! Laughable really, but there you are.

I hope this proves to be an interesting discussion. My stars have foretold that it will be anyhow... ;)

    No sorry, there is simply no tangible reason to believe that my when my father (Leo) was guided by the stars to my mother (Scorpio) who then created me by astrological design and my path is pre ordained by the random positions of the stars? Next you'll be telling me the earth is round :D
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    I'm a Virgo. My personality matches it pretty well. I don't believe it though.

    No, I don't believe any of that. But I'm a Scorpio--we're skeptics.

    All based around Batrum's law isn't it?

    In short, no. I have an open mind about many things and have experienced things I can't yet explain.

    But when money gets involved it's usually a load of bollocks.

    I used to believe in it when I was younger...or at least I tried to sound convincing when using astrology in pick-up lines :))

    I used to think it was all crap, but over the last 6 months things have occurred as predicted. Not once, not twice but three times. Could be good fortune but it has certainly made me stop and think at the least.

    It's believable once you start looking into it. But then, a lot of stuff is, like conspiracy theories.

    The main problem is confirmation bias. That's when you know someone's sign, and then start to look for things that bear that out. And ignore the other stuff. A bit like a police force on a fishing expedition.

    I never got into horoscopes however, as it seemed so oddly vague. Whereas some descriptions of various starsigns are uncanny when you look at certain people.
