Attention stargazers...

So I know there are a few astrology buffs (serious and non-) on here.

Could someone please explain the ramifications of losing Pluto as a planet?

Thenk yew.




For that matter... how did astrology handle new planets being discovered? It would seem that's easier to work with than having one suddenly be declared irrelevant...


Just wonderin'.

"with no discernible difference in predictive accuracy"

And really, isn't that key?

Always was to me. After all, they don’t follow the actual zodiacal constellations, either. Astrology has always seemed like utter crap to me.

Yeah well...

Actually, I have a theory about how it started, and why it was thought to have actual import, but... suffice it to say that I think that, at one time long ago, it might have actually had some meaning. For strictly logical reasons, no less. But today? Naw.
