I know I've seen some brief explanations for the art of astrology, such as the developmental period of a baby/child being affected by the season they were born in contributing to their nature.<br> <br> I also know that most horoscopes and such are both general enough to apply to anyone as well as being positive enough to make most folks *want* to believe them (see: fortune cookies).<br> <br> However, I feel that the profiles of each sign have more often than not been fairly accurate in my past relationships, and that things such as sign compatability "reports" could ergo hold a grain of truth.<br> <br> Does anyone have either "scientific" backing for these issues or personal experiences that would be interesting to tell more about? I realize the latter will probably devolve into a raft of "I agree" vs. "I don't agree" antecdotes.<br> <br> <small><small>Yes, I did search for previous questions on this, no dice.</small></small> tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.29332 Mon, 19 Dec 2005 20:28:56 -0800 astrology avidols carnies hippies horoscopes kcm
