Is dating by Astrology the way to find true love? ( Archived) (135)

There are lots of coincidences in life that have nothing to do with star signs to.

There is a science used by and pointed to by astrologers, but I wouldn't go so far as to claim it was behind astrology since many of the constellations used by Western civilization definitely predate Galileo, Newton and Maxwell the astrology came first (Babylonian, Minoans, etc., then stole what parts of science fit the claims and discarded the rest.

Also worth noting.. Whose Constellations do you use? There are hundreds of constellations that at different times in human history have been discarded and mostly forgotten, i.e., Ophiuchus, Crux, Musca Borealis, Polophylax, Alcor, etc., etc. Western Civilization dominated so the astrologers chose the constellations (which are themselves merely arbitrary assignments of names) that they knew and ignored the ones of other civilizations.

Now exactly how someone can claim with a straight face that a sign based on a totally arbitrary assignment of an imagined shape is scientifically valid when used as a basis for the prediction of future events and behavioral trends eludes me. Astrology had to go through a major re-write after Galileo, and again after Kepler. Each time it gets re-written whole chapters of the manual whose accuracy had been sworn and attested to for generations wound up in the trash can with new hastily written rules to explain the inconsistencies of the pseudo-science with real world observations. As what can be seen and measured in the Universe continues to grow, the initial 'pseudo-science' (astrology) based solely upon what stars can be seen by the naked eye becomes less and less credible.

Regarding selection of a mate, I would put more faith on daily interactions with that person for a few months (with maybe somewhere, at some point, a credit check and criminal history check) than I would on a New Age choice of relevant astrological signs as determined by a book sold on Amazon.com.

Well at least one of those skills is of use to you.

is some truth in astrology, however my astrolyst recommended me not to date in any way with men born under the sign of the pig

Love it

You quirky woman

Thanks my lady :)

You ever get the feeling though sometimes that its a bit false on these websites. Have to sat its the first time i've gone onto the forums and the first decent interaction I've had with all you super human beings

You know though, its kinda tough finding someone that you like, at least by their profile, then you make the effort and send a mail with a nice hello, how are you....and then....nothing...., even once, and folks you'll love this, the exact fit of a Pisces Dog, I swear, it was a nice and polite hello message, nothing....and then a couple of days later I went to send another message and the girl had banned me...I swear, it was nice and polite....I'm no brad pitt, or anything like it, but i'm definitely not the elephant man, well at least when i'm not hungover....., but banned

No one ever banned me before, but the one girl that fitted the stars match made in heaven for me/us, actually banned me...that tells me something, and you are all going to think that I'm a real gluten for punishment, is that I am right, I need to search for the right person, and I feel that I need to base it on the stars...Why? Because finding whats right isn't/shouldn't be easy, you have to work for it. I made loads of contacts, probably about 30 since i joined about 2 months ago, and the only one that banned me was the perfect one.....coincidence again....or is it written in the stars....???? Love to hear all of your feedback on this.....

And did you? Or do you know anyone born under the Pig sign? Do you get along with them....My guess is that you may know one, but they are not in your close circle of friends....What chinese sign are you?? I'm Tiger, and I have been told that I am good with Horses, Pigs and especially dogs...
