Am I just being picky?

[ngwillym]

But the advert for 'NotonTheHighStreet.com where the guys says ......"I've got a star chart showing the stars... astrologically".....    makes my blood boil.

Yes, it could be that he's buying it for someone who is interested in said subject and wanted to see what the stars were like when they were born BUT lets try and stamp out this nonsensical psuedo-science.

 

 

GGrrrrrrrr

Yep! Noticed it aswell! The biggest problem is that most people don't actually know the difference between the two.

But it's written in the stars ...

isn't it?

[Jimtheslim]

Ha! I am always driving my wife crazy for sarcastically pointing out stuff like this on TV. I've no idea whether he meant to say 'astronomically' or whether hipsters are generally into their astrology. Either way, his smugness enrages me

[popeye85]

But surely it is only astrological if he has included the planets in it as well, if it is purely a star chart then it is can not be claimed to be astrology? Oiu?

Why let it bother you?

My planisphere show Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Cancer, Leo, Capricorn, Taurus, Saggitarius, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius. Am I supposed to shred it because of that ?

Stellarium does it as well, and that will fill in the figures not just the lines. Going to suggest we all avoid Stellarium because it has Astrology constellation in it?

The 2 aspects are intertwinned to some extent, especially if you go back a couple of thousand years.

Nah! Doesn't bother me really-it's just a bit of good old fun winging about it that's all!!

Maybe it's not such a bad thing. Surely understanding more about the stars puts the ideas behind astrology into perspective.

Is perspective the latest name for a dust bin

Yeah, you're just being too picky.

Let me post a pint for you to take the edge off that pickiness.

It is clear here, but due to cloud up soon.

If the weather dolls are right.

Too many people getting astrology scopes for Christmas... New astrology scopes always muck up the weather.

If you treat the stars as a giant dot to dot pattern you can make them say anything
