Yeah, notice how she picks at herself, looks at whatever it is, then funbles with "da carts on da tabel", all while she babbling on with incredibly pedestrian comments that are so vague. Fake Carribean accent.....

Does anyone remember Diana Ross's Psychic Friends Network? I found it to be the funniest thing when they announced that they were filing chapter 11 due to "bad investments". Wouldn't think that would happen with all those psychics. (giggle. ha ha he he.)

I'll probably mangle the spelling, but I think that was Dionne Warwick? Anyway, at first I rejoiced when psychic friends went under. I thought that psuedoscience and new ageism had been dealt a tremendous blow. Sadly, new wackiness has arisen at an almost exponential rate to replace our dearly departed psychic friends. Elsewhere on this board, a recent gallup poll is discussed. Horror of horrors, the group most likely to believe in high weirdness is the 18-29 year olds! What the heck are they teaching in colleges these days?
BTW, Valiant Dancer, welcome to the board. What took you so long?

What does anyone here think about astrology?


I think it's nothing more than mythology applied to the stars and planets.

Actually, We lifted the our name from the Psychic Friends Network. That was a few years ago. They went belly up. We are still here.

Then, you are at the right site. This site does not seem to attract many *true believers*.

I showed above somewhere two lists from the Cambridge Guide to the Constellations. One had the usual Zodiac that silly astrologers use to make their hocus pocus charts and the other showed the actual constellations which cross the ecliptic to become actual sun signs (if one wants to know anything about sun signs). Added is the constellation Ophiuchus. The months have all changed, so next time somebody asks you *What's your sign?* you can give them the true facts. The astrologers hark back over 2000 years for their misinformation. Actually, early astronomers were astrologers. Even Kepler did astrological charts, but his astronomy led to the stuff we use today.
