As for the occasional nutjob that takes it seriously modernly, they should perhaps be reminded that astrology is based on a geocentric idea of the universe, so to take astrology seriously, one has to renounce one's belief that the earth revolves around the sun.
Eh, I understand it, I understand it enough to realize it's worthless.
Worthless to you. Astrology has proven it's worth to me.
Obviously in this forum it's too much to ask that differing opinions be respected without being dumped on. Cool. Another thing I have learnt about here.
