Sagittarius is the ruler of traditional religions, it's also rules gambling.

When someone asks me about my religious persuasions, what do I tell them?

I'm not a gambler.

So why is this form of gambling legal?

The only thing I know about Sagittarius is that it's a summer constellation (otherwise known as the Teapot), which is backlit by the Milky Way and contains lots of nebulae. I don't know what your post is about.

If someone asks me my religion, I'll tell them. But I draw the line at astrology. A bunch of stars that form strange pictures if you connect the dots (and let's face it, some of those ancient Greeks had some damned wild imaginations!)...I'm afraid not. Pictures in the sky don't influence characteristics and actions.

See, the problem with the constellations is that they're only apparent in the positions we know from the angle at which we view them. They're not sitting there on some two-dimensional plane. From any other angle in the galaxy, they would simply not exist. That's why I have such a problem with them.

Well, I'm a Sagittarius, and I'm so fiscally conservative that I drive my investment agent crazy, and there's nothing traditional about my religious beliefs and practices...unless you consider that they're my family's tradition, passed down to me, that I accepted upon research and experimentation.
