you would be extremely suprised if you knew the basics of astrology.
no i dont believe it has much to do with your daily lives, but it does give an immense amount of insight to character, and even physical build of your body.
both me and my wife have picked peoples signs out within minutes of meeting them. no we cant do that with everyone because everyone is unique. the people we were able to pick out were very much the sun sign they were under. there are so many influences that may override a sunsigns influence that a lot of people say "i'm nothing like my sign". if they dug deep enough tho they would see that they are very much their own horoscope.
i'm not trying to sell anyone here. there is a deeper truth out there and astrology lets you see it. it is physical, and there is no denying it. i'll make it easy for everyone out there:
screw all the sunsigns. whats important is your elemental make up. i.e. fire, earth, air, or water. every body has all or some of these elements in their charts, but are usually dominated by one or 2. if yer fire- you like action, being seen, sports-usually taller, thin
if yer earth- you like building and structure, food, money-usually heavier set, medium hight
if yer air- you like to talk and think about ideas, acedemic, -usually thin, tall or short depending on other influences
if yer water- emotional, psychic- usually heavier-easiest to be overweight, usually shorter.
like i said most people are a combination of 2 elements.
the more of 1 element you are the more extreme your personality is in that direction. "well rounded" people usually have a balance between all 4 elements.
i've been into astrology for 20 years, but i never read my horoscope in the paper. so you folks are half-right. the **** you see in the tabloids is ****. but dont discount the real astrology because of the shams that just want your money. take those 4 simple elements and examine the people you know. then you will see that it is a physical reality. it might also give you a little tolerance of the people around you that are a different elemental make up then yerself.
