@jordanmarcus it´s harmless as long as it is seen as pure entertainment. Of course it´s a multimillion dollar business. However, there are many many people that believe in it as a fact, and plan their days around it. And many charlatans that take advantage of these gullible people.

@jordanmarcus “spiritual nature will never be fully grasped by your “rational thought”

Yeah right. Let’s dispense with that big old nasty rational thought. The same rational thought that supplied you with the computer you are now using to post messages. Those “meta-physical” electrons responding to your key-presses were never told by you that it’s more important to just believe in the spirit of the key-press.
Viva spiritualism! But unplug your computer first…

@ebrobaru i respect that view point, because the search for truth is what i believe will lead to universal love. but in my opinion some of these “half-truths and myths” are all we have to express some kind of comprehension of the , as of now, incomprehensible. symbolism, synchronicity, and archetypical analysis are all the offspring of astrology. maybe they arent “needed” per say, but i dont see astrology as dangerous or useless. i see it in a positive light.

@jordanmarcus I agree completely that truth is often stranger than fiction. That is why we really don´t need all these semi-truths and myths.

@ebrobaru point taken. your rationality prevails yet again. but don’t you ever think that sometimes reality is indeed stranger than fiction? cant lifes mysteries prove to be irrational at times?
