    Resisting the urge to post this in the "America is..." thread.

    A well done write up on the United States Pluto Return ( roughly a 246 year cycle).

    coincidentally, Venus is going to spend some time in Capricorn (~four Months) would would imply some economic "restructuring" for the U.S.

    • You do know that Venus isn't anywhere near any star in the Capricorn constellation, right?monospaced
    • you do know that there is more than one flavor of ignorance?keewee
    • oh please, do tell me which flavor of ignorance I exhibitmonospaced
    • I'm referring to Astrology's absolute ignorance of Astronomy and Physics. And you?monospaced
    • never stated you exhibited anything.keewee
    • Astrology's absolute ignorance? I don't believe that is the case mono, please don't wade any deeper, you'll be drown't.keewee
    • Key word there KeeWee is 'believe'. If Astrology brings you some comfort and a sense of understanding good for you. Astrology is mostly coincidence...Morning_star
    • ...and confirmation bias.Morning_star
    • and math is just numbers, difficult to argue something when one does not look into it.keewee
    • what was Your "Morning_Star"?keewee
    • The name was chosen for reasons unrelated to Astrology, but seeing as you ask i'll go for Sirius.Morning_star
    • With regard to Maths being just numbers, it isn't. Calculus, geometry, algebra etc are not just numbers, they are tools to predict, analyse and prove.Morning_star
    • ...Unlike Astrology.Morning_star

    • Kinda tickled, Sirius was conjunct the 'Lot of fortune' when this article was posted.keewee
    • prolly confirmation bias...keewee
    • I agree Calculus ,Trigonometry, Algebra are all employed by 'good' astrologers.keewee
    • :-) Fortune hmmm, I had a job interview this week, so let’s see how it goes.Morning_star
    • Can you describe the mechanism that allows the position of celestial bodies to influence an individuals life? Also, does I Ching or reading animal guts...Morning_star
    • You are the kind of person they are looking for, don't let them cheap out on you, get what you are worth.keewee
    • ...or Counting the number of magpies use the same mechanism?Morning_star
    • Astrology is absolutely ignorant when it comes to Astronomy. It talks about celestial bodies, but none of it aligns with reality.monospaced
    • I mean, stars in Capricorn are anywhere from 30–400 light years away from Venus. The idea they could be connected is ludicrous at best.monospaced

    • @ morning_star I cant speak on I-ching or animal guts, but to each their own. dip your toe in the water, Cosmos and Psyche by Richard Tarnas Mentioned Elsewherekeewee
    • But don’t use logic, math, physics or an ounce of rationalization, because it isn’t welcome or applicable.monospaced
