Catholic Scientist writes: I mean, who does like being pressured to take part in a conversation that they don't understand or don't care about? My point was (and I do so love having to explain what my point was  ) that I don't have to be pressured to shoot my mouth off when I don't know what I'm talking about. My point was that astrology was completely out to lunch on that point. My point was that "too general" is no excuse when astrology's prediction is diametrically opposed to reality.
The book I was reading from was better than that. I wish I had it with me and could scan some pages into this thread. Here's a better idea: You can find my birthdate in my profile. Use all the resources you can muster and decide what my personality "should" be, horoscopically. Then our loyal readers, who know me so well, can decide whether or not it's accurate.

From your own source:
LIKESHobbies - nope Romance - nope Children - yup Home and Country - yup and *shrug* Parties - hate 'em Not much of a batting average. And note that Ross Perot and Captain Kangaroo share my birthdate. (ABE: Make that "birthday", I guess.) I just think that there seems to be some correlation with your personality and the time of year you were born. It doesn't seem so to me. There are so many factors that can effect out personalities: where we are born, the climate, the culture; our family environment and history. If when we were born had any effect at all, it would likely be drowned out by the other factors. Edited by Ringo, : Added extra pedantry. Help scientific research in your spare time. No cost.
