were you fit astrologically with your ex?

[IncognitoSir]

I used to believe in astrology so much. Read that crap daily. Then I saw a episode of Penn and Teller's BS on astrology. Showed astrology for what it was........which is pretty much nothing. Like when a palm reader tells you, " I see hurt and pain in your future"......duh, that could apply to freaking anybody! Don't get your hopes up too much when it comes to this stuff. I'm a Libra, and yeah a lot of the Libra descriptions do indeed "fit" me. At the same time, other descriptions fit me as well, so wtf, lol.

The building you work or live in has more gravitational effect on your body than some distant planet. People who claim this stuff is true with 'science' typically know very little actual science.

Astrology says my husband & I are 'soulmates'. One of the best fits of the zodiac, haha. FWIW.

[Blackey]

Lol Indireloaded, read about about gravity and u'll understand taht a "distant planet" has more effect on you and on the building you live in than you think

[IndiReloaded]

Blackey, I will arm wrestle you about physics any time. I'm certain I can calculate the gravity pull between two objects, can you?

Rather than my calculating the effect for you, here's a table of the our solar system's gravity relative to the moon. Its negligible, gravity is a combination of mass and distance. In the case of effects from our solar system planets, the distance waaay outweighs the large masses involved. Astrology is entertainment, not science:

Planet Mass(10^22 kg) Distance Gravity

Mercury 33 92 0.00008 0.0000003
Venus 490 42 0.006 0.00005
Mars 64 80 0.0002 0.000001
Jupiter 200,000 630 0.01 0.000006
Saturn 57,000 1280 0.0007 0.0000002
Uranus 8,700 2720 0.00002 0.000000003
Neptune 10,000 4354 0.00001 0.000000001
Pluto ~1 5764 0.0000000006 0.00000000000004
Moon 7.4 0.384 1.0 1.0

damn it pluto isn't a planet!!!!!

[IndiReloaded]

Poor Pluto, what is it now? A planetoid or something? I think that's like a zit, right?

[misombra]

pluto is one big fuking asteroid. everyone feels soooooo bad for pluto cause of that stupid dog.

[IndiReloaded]

Yep. I'd think about property for my g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g...great grandkids. Provided they figured how to heat the sucker out there. Miso, did you read they killed the Moon Return project today? Constellation is dead.

[misombra]

yeah but eh, the moon is old news already.

we need to hit up something outside our solar system. it's time for some warp travel, i think.

[IndiReloaded]

I'll go sulk in a corner now with a Heinlein or CJ Cherryh book...

[misombra]

indi, i don't think we're astrologically matched. we just don't share the same ideals about what constitutes a planet or space travel.

[IndiReloaded]

Well, as I understand about 80 bucks will get you a decent amount of space travel to different planets. There's always that if we get desperate.

[mysterylover]

just check my sign and its pisces so is my ex girlfreind and it sorta describes us both down to a T

[lovesjoyajm]

I saw an AWESOME T-shirt a few years ago with this picture on it:

[Blackey]

lovesjoyajm, sorry for my ignorence but what does it mean? I mean whats the idea behind it?
