The earth has wobbled, and the signs we thought we were born under are changing. And maybe, just maybe, there will be a thirteenth sign.

Does this mean that everything we have been told, up 'till now, to guide our lives, has been false ?
Who can we sue ?

Hopefully, everything we will be told from now on will be correct, once "they" get it all sorted out.

Is there anything left that we can believe in ?
Seriously !

The only thing that you can believe in is that there is nothing left to believe in. That is the Only Truth!!

Seriously?? Astrology has no evidential support whatsoever.

There is no known force that can cause celestial objects to affect human life in the way claimed by astrologers (the four known forces of nature can all be ruled out).
There is no evidence of any other type of force at work, leaving no mechanism for astrology.

Astrology,which isn’t a science, doesn’t allow for earths wobble
As for the 13th sign,well its always been there,its called Ophiuchus and lies on the same ecliptic plane as all the other signs of the zodiac.
Why have astrologers just wakened up to both these scientific facts?
Prediction of astrological theory is that an accomplished astrologer should be able to match people with their birth charts. To test this, astrologers
have been presented with a series of randomized test subjects and birth charts, then asked to match the subject with their chart. To date no scientific studies have demonstrated an ability
to do this better than random chance.

How on earth,no pun intended,can they sort it out??There is nothing to sort out.Science has proven the earths wobble which has always been there,astronomers will point out the 13th sign of the zodiac to you
which has always been there as well.

Astrology references are so vague they could be interpreted in many ways
and always be applicable to a % of the population

Generalized character assessments that would apply to most people, e.g. "You are family-oriented", "You are mindful of your financial situation", etc.
Double meanings that are almost always correct because they cover all possibilities, e.g. "You like to be decisive but sometimes you find it hard to make decisions."
Obvious advice that applies universally, e.g. "Work hard and rewards will come."

Guide your life based on some proven facts instead of unsubstantiated fairy tales.

I will admit to being a little provocative in this thread, but do appreciate your thoughtful response.

What "proven facts" did you have in mind ?

This Leo believes in this mumbo jumbo as far as general personalities are concerned, but I'm wondering who would want to be the thirteenth sign? It's bad enough being 13 at dinner and the first one to get up whoo-oooo Maybe all the thirteenth sign people can go live in portgower...:cool:
