This has nothing to do with astrology. It's just an exercise in writing vague nonsense and saying it is from an expert. The sentences Randi commented on wouldn't be written by a qualified astrologer as they are meaningless and applicable to everyone.

lol it is THE SAME. You can BELIEVE astrology, but it is the same, like believing in Santa

my sister is trying to say that all geminis she knows are good storytellers. well that's true with more than just geminis, does that make it wrong? the book she has says no. it says, "other people will have the same traits as other signs sometimes, but sometimes it varies. so basically it can't be wrong? basically its saying that people have the same common traits as others..thats disproving it right there! there are no uncommon traits mentioned

Assuming that nasal blockage was the result of a cold brought on my immune deficiency, I bet he's dead right now.

Even when charts are specific, the descriptions of the personality types of the zodiacal signs are still always either positive or neutral. None of the 12 signs seem to be able to account for those people in the world who are vile sick pieces of sputum. It also sounds very "non-cosmic" to have it be based on the vagaries of birth (maybe months premature) instead of the less flexible moment of conception. Of all the paranormal crap, this is a push-over. Randi didn't even sweat. :)

it is edition 1568 which is the PROPHETIC WORK click on my name for the URL to see how we caused the President of American Atheists, Ellen Johnson, to quit her job and stopped Randi's MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL CHALLENGE....

This guy is a joke. He uses the same horoscope text for everyone to prove a point, but his point is bullshit! Any decent site or Astrologer would NEVER use the same text for an individual chart. I think this guy has some demons in his past that he is trying to exercise (kind of like a reformed thief). No worthwhile Astrologer looks at their charts as if they are conning anyone, they believe they are helping. This guy is a true goof, lumping all astrolgers together as one.

"Any decent site or Astrologer would NEVER use the same text for an individual chart" and yet the results would be the same as if he did.

The guy in the white tee shirt is a dope. An anti intellectual who is stuck in a world of make believe. Sad.
