Do you believe there is some truth in Chinese astrology?

Some people find truth in it, but I think that tends to be more out of a desire to believe than anything else. My opinion about astrology? Everyone is searching for wisdom: wisdom to comfort and guide us. Whether we find that in astrology, in religion, in science, or elsewhere doesn't matter. It is what it means to us that is important.

If you mean what I think (reading between the lines) you mean, then my answer -- without prejudice -- is: YES, if the Aries is above and the Libra beneath.\n\nAnything else is a misunderstanding...

Having studied astronomy for 15 years\nand being very scientifically minded,\nI was very skeptical about astrology...\nHowever, that has changed since I \ndiscovered the Indian system of\nastrology called Jyotish... it is an\nancient system, that is highly accurate\nand predictive, and I am satisfied it has\nvalidity when properly analyzed by a\ncompetent astrologer...\n\ncheck out a sample website:\nhttp://www.vedic-astrology.net/

I used to be an amateur astrologer and it sure seemed that way at the time.\nI am uncertain at this point in my life but I tend to think it is true. I am intelligent and well educated and know it sounds ridiculous and stupid.\n\nAnd yet, if well done, and if you use your RISING sign in those newspaper predictions (the rising sign is where you will find the sort of predictions they are giving in the newspapers and magazines, it can't be done with the birth sign), you are often surprised...............

Nothing, they are both gullible enough to believe that astrology is anything but a scam.\n\nGet  grip. This is the science section. Astrology isn't science, it's a fantasy for the weak minded.

Astrology is not a science at all.\nIt is a believe.\nScience is base on facts, and astrology is not base on facts.\nThe star chart astrology uses is so old that the stars are no longer where they said they are.\nI can not tell you astrology is useless, because like everything else that is base on believes can not be prove wrong (or right), such as God, fait, after life, heaven, hell,  etc.\nHowever, some things are better to beleive in then others.\nAstrology is not a very good one to live by.\nI have seen such tricks in China also, these people are very smart and experience, and can tell a very good story.\nThink about it, if they really can make predictions, they wouldnt have to be astrologist, they can make a lot of money many other ways.  These pepole is like Stock broker and money advicers, if they are good, why they need my money.

Yes, I'd rather be in a place with a positive energy flow than a negative one whenever possible. I don't go as far as some "feng shui" hired "experts" would have you go in buying all sorts of thing, but I do believe there is a flow and some are more conducive to a positive environment then others.

I can't say if I believe in astrology or not, but sometimes it can be accurate.  \n\nDepending on where you look, astrology is based off of the locations of the stars and planets at the time of your birth.  \n\nThere is still a difference since some people use astrology for their own financial gain, sometimes these 'predictions' can be very far from the truth.  I don't always believe what astrology tells me.

some sort of astrology thing...

No.  There is no scientific basis to the belief that the position of various stars and planets has a direct influence on human activity.\n\nHowever, one could definitely perform a scientific, sociological or anthropological examination of the beliefs, history, development, spread, or pervasiveness of astrological belief in society, or sub-sections of society.

Being I've had them, I assume they are common. As far as "astral projections" are concerned, I can't imagine they could be verified in any rigorous or scientifically adept way...at least at this time. Have you read much about "remote viewing?" There has been some notable experiments carried out in this area for which I see some correlations.  Your last comment about the third moon of Saturn seems a bit "tongue 'n cheek" which makes me wonder if you're not a major skeptic. That's okay, 'cause I am too... I just try to keep an "open mind."  Entertaining any GUTS theory tends to have that effect on you.

You may recoil a bit at this, but by Chinese astrology, you're a rat...now don't fret...it's a good thing...really! Though the Western rat is reviled as little more than a bottom-dwelling disease carrier, this animal is viewed much differently in the East. And you are from the Badger State--that's close to a rascally rat. The Eastern rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability to accrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in both China and Japan. Clever and quick-witted, the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac is utterly disarming to boot. Possessed of excellent taste, this Sign flaunts its style at every turn. Its natural charm and sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity.\n\nBehind that sweet smile, though, Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas. This Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become a problem if the Rat isn't careful to keep its priorities straight. This Sign's natural powers of charm and persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they are often hoarders, Rats can be very generous to those in their "pack," namely friends and family members who have proven their loyalty. Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbal jousting is a great pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love or to hate.\n\nRats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation. The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how to keep itself entertained.\n\nA valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.\n\nThe most compatible match for a Rat is the Dragon or the Monkey. I'm a dragon...but that's another story...and Wausau, WS is the ginseng capitol of the world--thus it's relation to Chinese astrology.

Hmmm I'm not sure but since astrology doesn't bother to correct itself for the fact that the constellations have drifted one full sign over the lat 2000 years....\n\nMy fortune cookie seems to back me up on this.

Technically, this is correct. \n\nHowever, we can gain confidence in future predictions based on past success. For example, if the sun rises in the east for 100,000,000 consecutive days, and nothing that would prevent this from occuring on the 100,000,001th day, we can be very confident that the sun will in fact rise in the east, not the west, on the 100,000,001th day. \n\nSure, we might be wrong, but, by repeated trials, observations, and attempts at falsification, we can decrease the probability of that being the case to such a small probability that witholding provisional acceptance would be perverse. That, in a nutshell, is science.

fengshui is actually a sort of mathematics calculation to 'maximize' your potential in your luck, health & wealth. it's not black art.\ni think many people has a misconception of what is it all about. and commenting without true understanding/ analysis on the subject reflect their ignorance.\nbut i do agree that many superstitious chinese take it too far, & some dubious fengshui master are just cheaters.\ni do believe that fengshui (if it is delivered by a true master) has a positive effect, BUT, i don't indulge or have any negative opinions to it.\neven for true buddhists, fate is what we make out of it, not indulging in fengshui to 'change' our fate.
