How can something be true if it doesn't work for everybody?

I haven't personally done any research but this is a subject that's been throughly studied and I'm aware of what scientists think about it. Consider this fact, astrology only includes five planets because those are the only planets that were known at the time it was invented. So they left out Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (of course Pluto has been downgraded and no longer considered to be large enough to be a planet). So if astrology was a real phenomenon wouldn't something be haywire with every astrological chart since these planets aren't even being taken into consideration?

It was already mentioned above - we're not talking about people just sharing a Sun sign, even though even this one is quite telling.

I have no desire to convince anybody of anything. It's your right to choose to believe in whatever you want yourself. It's the strong dissing of something (anything!) one knows nothing about that annoys me.

I find it entertaining, but there's no basis for it in reality. And yes, my personality traits are a pretty good match to what I've seen written about my sign, but that's coincidence.

There are 12 signs, and billions of people. Of course many are going to coincidentally match "their" sign, at least in some ways! That's simple probability.

I'm not good at it myself. What I do know is that the personalities of the people I've known and researched have been right on the money, including my own. My opinion is based on empirical evidence and that’s what matters to me.

I didn't mean to show any disrespect towards you and like I said earlier I do like you and enjoy reading your posts so I think I'll drop out of this conversation. I hope all is well in Arizona.

I didn't say I took it personally. It's just the act of doing so I dislike.

Can there be some links as to what my tendencies and stuff are? It's interesting...but I don't know anything about it.
