...Logically I can find no reason to believe in astrology, it is seemingly impossible that where the stars were when you were born would have an impact on your character and the flow of events in your life, but it seems that many people I know are very much outwardly like their sun signs, and the people I know that had their complete charts done were even more like their complete chart in a deeper way. It is kinda weird, has no scientific explanation to me...
Requiring a logical belief or scientific proofs in astrology in order to use it as a tool for understanding yourself, others and improving your quality of life is like requiring a logical belief in modern psychology or scientific proofs of its theories in order to use it for your benefit as well.
Either one works best when you have "faith" in it. this slave sees faith as the "evidence" of things not seen or beyond definitive scientific proof.

The reason for this thread is, how much do you feel you mirror your sun sign and ascendent sign (the two most important).
this slave does not feel that they are the two most important aspects of a chart. this slave's astrological "faith" is in the entire chart, the aspects of the entire astrological "snapshot" taken at the moment one arrives in this plane of existence. it takes a lot more effort than the reading of the blurb in the newspaper that corresponds to your sun sign, which unfortunately, is some folks only exposure to astrology and one of the reasons this slave feels so many poo-poo it.

Do you know what these signs are, have you had your chart done?
20 years ago, before the internet made having your chart figured out mathematically an almost instant and free experience, this slave checked out books from the local library, spoke with hippies and gypsies that had an understanding of the history, prostitution and helpful aspects of astrology and cast her own.
it is relatively cheap or free to have a chart drawn for you. it is free here: http://www.alabe.com/freechart/. the interpretation of your chart however, should be done by a competent astrologer, or educate yourself and interpret it yourself. all it costs is time spent and an open mind.[:)]
quote:
If you have a partner do they resemble their sign or chart strongly, how about your unmentionables... do you have a chart for them, do they share the characteristics of their chart?
yes, and as their entire chart is a portrait of the astrological snapshot that existed at the specific time and place of their birth, which is much more than just one or two aspects they might share with others, they are the ONLY ones that resemble their particular chart...unique, like their fingerprints.
