is there some sort of petition we can sign to make the horoscope section be called " ASTROLOGY" !!?
?!... and not be in entertainment and music but perhaps in science or even philosophy?

Why? So the trolls have two places to ruin instead of one?
It doesn't matter the name of the section...if users here consistently supported the good questions and reported the trolls and referred repeat questions to resolved answers, the quality of this section could easily be improved.

I wish there was a petition we could sign but I don't think there is. Maybe someone could make it?
Yes horoscopes are for entertainment purposes but the serious aspects of astrology should be taken more seriously as for some people they make their livelyhoods out of it what with birth charts and things just a scientist would make a living out of science and not be looked down on. It really should have its own seperate section in a different category and if there was a petition I would glady sign it.

Here, here!
Horoscopes are just one aspect of astrology. And its an expression of spirituality, its disrespectful to disregard it because its other than what you personally practice. For instance, I'm not a jew, but if I were and had a question about my traditions, nobody would tell me to put it in the entertainment and music section. I think most of our topics should theoretically be in the religion and spirituality section. The problem is who pretends that place is genuinely for all forms of thought? Its the Christianity section and needs to be renamed that.
If you've got a petition, give it here. I'll sign it.

That's been tried in the past - several times. Obviously, it didn't work. I am not sure why the request was declined, but from my perspective, there is too much entertainment going on this section to be taken seriously as "Astrology." I agree, though, Horoscope in the Entertainment category is not well placed.

I would love that!! I never read my horoscope and don't consider that anything else but nonsense entertainment too.
Astrology would be much more appropriate because, even though things can get rather entertaining on here, we would love to have serious questions asked and not people writing to "psychics" and talking just about their sun sign.
I'd sign :)

even though what one of the users said;
there is too much entertainment going on this section to be taken seriously as "Astrology."
is true, i don't think psychology any different... yahoo answers is not an academical forum... what the heck dream interpretation does in psychology section, i frakked jenna jameson last night in my dream, what does it mean? so deep. yeah, you are just horny.
i've been chased by a boar in my dream, what does it mean? don't play online games too long.

I really doubt it's going to do too well in the science section. Maybe changing it from horoscopes to astrology is a good idea, though.
I like the other person who commented saying that horoscopes aren't real then immediately followed up by stating that "palm reading" was. Genius.

If answering this question counts me on the petition consider me signed up!

Horoscopes and Astrology are actually pretty different.
Horoscopes make me think of newspapers and magazines and stuff...
i think you're right. :p

I know exactly what you mean I wish there was a petition but you should definitely talk to yahoo about doing that.
