    “Many people think that astrology is the Sun-sign columns found in every newspaper and online news media sites. Nothing could be further from the truth. That’s not astrology, that’s entertainment, which is what’s often stated in the fine print beneath astrology columns. Unfortunately, Sun-sign columns are one of the most persistently misleading representations of astrology. “

    (Dorothy Oja: “What Astrology is and isn’t”)

    REAL astrology works off of a map of the heavens, drawn up for the MOMENT that person was born, as seen from where they were born. This map is called a “birthchart”, a “natal chart”, or a “horoscope”

    The word horoscope does NOT mean prediction. Fake Sun sign astrology mis-uses that term.

    And your “astro sign/ zodiac sign / star sign” .. that ONLY your SUN’s sign. You have 9 other planets, just as important, and most of them will be in OTHER zodiac signs from the one Sun was in when you were born.

    NO real astrologer uses just the Sun sign.

    Neither LEGITIMATE nor RELIABLE but are only valid in SOME instances that too solely depends upon the wisdom, accuracy, mood and comprehensive power of the practitioner at that particular time.

    Did you pass your science classes in school? If so you’ll have no use for anything that has magical thinking behind claims. Evaluate what your belief threshold is.

    You have the right to demand strong evidence before committing. Astrology has zero.

    Nope, astrology is fake. It's called the Barnum effect, or Forer effect. Look it up.
