20. If you're going to argue against astrology, fine

I see NO reason people should believe it. When they start thinking of planets pulling you this way and that way, it makes no sense.
However, when you realize that we're in (and always have been) a new quantum reality, we see that physical space and time
have no more place in our vernacular. Then, it all starts making sense. Newton's world is dead and Einstein's is not far behind.

When anti-astrologers see Cosmo magazine and daily horrorscope next to the funny pages, what are they to think? They don't know they have a Moon and other planets.

It truly is surprising that just about all the great minds in history accepted astrology openly. That says a log.

Not exactly. I did notice a shift in my personal outlook, though. BlueIris Jun 2012 #1
