On a related note I never could figure out how all of the prophets and the author of revelations were essentially predicting the future... I guess it's okay to do so if God tells you about it but not if you try to figure it out on your own... I wonder if this is one of those "poor translations" things like with witches...

edit: also, I can't wait for XKCD to chime in on this subject

I heard about this from a bunch of friends. I asked them why they believed in the predictions that random people write based on ideas people from over 2,000 years ago came up with, so much that they let it influence their day-to-day lives.

Prophets get their knowledge of the future from divine intervention according to religion.

Fortune telling is a Pagan ritual and belief that goes back beyond the Greeks and Romans. Looking to the stars to predict the future as astrologers do, using tarot cards, etc, is all blasphemous.

It is also wilfully ignorant of the logical flaw that one who is aware of ones future has the capacity to change it. If there were very real effects in the universe we could use to predict the future in the way astrologers fortell things, then these signs from the future would act on the present, thus changing the future, and changing in of themselves.

...and psychologists say your personality can't change! I just went from being a blunt risk-taker to a dignified courageous possessive sob.

Yeah, The Zodiac stuff is quite useless because its the same everywhere on the world.

But, funnily enough, it actually matters which month of the year you have born at. There was a study about this recently, for example those who born at winter, most probably have weaker immune system etc... cant rem exactly but it was quite important anyways. It also does affect your personality too.
Seasonal rhythms do affect a people. For example, some people who live in areas very far north where there's not as much daylight in the winter time may have more of a tendency to become depressed in the winter because they don't get enough sunlight. However, people who live closer to the south where the weather is warmer tend to be more openly (as in they don't stay in the house and will go out in the open to argue) aggressive because it's hot outside. So, yea time of year as it relates to seasonal changes can affect a person, but, in my opinion, not to the extent or in the way that astrologers like to say that it does.

:lol: I still like to joke with Smoth about his horoscope, though. His horoscope says that he is diplomatic and urbane, romantic and charming, easygoing and sociable, and idealistic and peaceable. I think that his horoscope sounds sweet. Smoth is sweet!

I think the impact of any remote star cluster is at best completely overpowered by the giant star sitting 1AU from us, if not the satellite with a surface area the size of Brazil dominating our night sky

You seem to have forgotten to take magic into account. It's all about signs and symbols and other similar crap... the moon and suns positions in relationship to the celestial bodies is what matters here... stop trying to apply logic to the subject... the Babylonians did that and look how they ended up.

edit: Fun fact, the US Army has established a military base on the ruins of ancient Babylon... I'm pretty sure there's something about that in at least a few end-of-the-world prophecies.

read the references.
this camp supposedly had a helipad built and soldiers were filling sandbags(which contained archeological goods or some shit) with what they though was just sand. and tanks crushed some of the old road.

The ruins had already been messed with by sadam who was trying to make it a tourist attractions. Also the sites troops did not camp at were looted bare. The camp was established in 2003 which was definitely around when my friend went to babylon so i will ask him next time I see him but truthfully if soldiers were not there, it would have been stripped pretty bare.
