Astrology is an ancient belief system. For centuries there have been people who believe that our lives are affected in some way by for the formation of the stars above us. Today, millions of people look to astrology in some form to guide them; this varies from people who study it in great depth to those who take a passing interest in reading predictions in newspapers. Most people are aware of their star sign and will read with interest how this affects their personality and how this makes them as a person.
To me this makes no sense. How can it be that bodies of gas that are light years away have any influence on us at all? They are too far away to exert any gravitational pull on us and certainly not provide any heat. In fact many are so far away that it takes so long to reach earth that the star no longer exists by the time it reaches here. The stars that form the specfic constellations that are synonomous with astrology are in fact light years away from each other. They may appear to be close together viewed from here on earth, but that is because from our vantage point there are viewed in two dimensions; if we were to view them in three dimensions would tell a different story.
Perhaps I am just a cynic. But then as a Scorpio, what do you expect?!
