Pat Riot Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 From the article: "Here at NASA, we study astronomy, not astrology. We didn’t change any zodiac signs, we just did the math.” I wonder what they were afraid of? A bunch of crazed hippies and Gypsy women storming their offices with that “…we just did the math” quip? It’s just like all the other government offices these days. They’ve got to get in on the disrupting the lives of the American people and American traditions craze. Next they’ll be going after the “loonies” (like me) that know there are extra-terrestrials out there watching us and monitoring our progress in making the world habitable for them so they can take over and steal all of our beer and cheese making facilities… We are dooomed… 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that you still get some pleasure out of reading some of the crystal-power, stars align, crapola and shaking your head about it all. I used to enjoy reading all the daily horroscopes, noting how vague they were and comparing one days list with others from the week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Residing in Florida for all of my like, I've always been a "weather nerd". Read the clouds...know the weather that's coming. I could always tell when a tropical system was around. Read the clouds at night or during the day...don't need the internet or weatherman to tell me what's coming. By the way, we had 2.23" of rain yesterday at my house. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Growing up many members of my family put a lot of stock in Astrology. As for me, if my Astrology prediction said something good was going to happen, it didn’t. If my prediction said something bad was going to happen it did. I chalk this up to my home life before I left home at 17. I did have a very weird experience happen to me shortly after I left home regarding astrology. The lady of the house at the place where I rented a room was big time into Astrology and Palm Reading. Her name was Ruth. She invited me to go with her to a lady that did Astrological forecasting and palm reading. Ruth told me that to live in her house I had to “pass muster” by having this reading done. I figured “She’s paying for it. Why not?” I did find it interesting that she used my birthdate and time of birth to do her thing. There was no mention of Zodiac, that I recall. Without boring you with details I will just tell you the highlights of what she told me. 1. You will travel the world in the next several years. 2. I see you in jail or prison for a few months in the next couple of years, but not for anything bad that you did. 3. You will marry a girl that’s a friend of a friend and you will be with her for life. 4. At the age of 39 or 40 you will have a near death experience. 5. You will always have interesting jobs, but you will never be rich. 6. You will live to be 86 years old. 1. I joined the Navy and did literally go around the world. 2. I spent 5 months aboard ship in the Indian Ocean during the Iran Hostage incident. That was like being in jail. 3. I married the best friend of my girl friend at the time. We have been married 44 years. 4. At 39 I nearly died twice on the operating table. 5. I have had many interesting jobs. I am not rich, but I did okay. 6. Still alive at 63, obviously, and if I make to 86 I will be surprised. So, I do not completely discount Astrology or Palm Reading as being hoaxes. It is truly creepy that this lady had predicted things that did come to pass. (Cue music from The X Files) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they are so vague as to be almost meaningless. I don't discount clairvoyance, as many Orthodox monks and saints are said to possess that gift. Two that come to mind, recent ones, are St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco, and St. Paisios the Athonite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
