I am happy to play along. Why are you dropping the game?
You've burned 3 lives.
What is your next guess?

Sagittarius

Nope but my brother and sister were born under that sign.

Four

What I would find very funny is if you are a pisces.

With a name like that is it fair to say that you are Pisces?

WHy "atto" BTW?

Sculptor, you sure sound like a Capricorn. Anyone ever call you that?

Flannel Jesus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 2:00 pm What he's getting at, that you aren't engaging with, is that this all apparently has 0 predictive power. He has no reason to accept that astrology can predict anything about your personality or aptitudes in any sense.

What he's missing is the point. The point is that it's an outside source that confirms what you suspect about yourself. Why swim upstream by arbitrarily trying to be someone other than what The Zodiac confirms what you know to be true about yourself. Swimming upstream is trying to be who someone else wants you to be.

Folks like The Zodiac because of positive affirmations of self-concept. It's a best-seller.

Is it science? Well, is Climate Change science?

The purpose of both is predictions of behavior for folks and the planet. Personality taxonomy in broad strokes has fewer variables than climate.

Seems like India didn't get the memo

What is the gist of the link, and what do you think of it?

The gist of it is Astrology is not only positive affirmations. Very foolish people who take it too seriously can use it to literally harm other people's lives and opportunities based on nonsense stereotypes.

No doubt. There is much corruption in the world.

A very small fish pi.

Yes, I is pisces and am certain there must be a glitch in the matrix if you also are of that sign.
