Hey all.
I know this is a touchy subject for many here... and that is the very reason im bringing it up. Im very curious about the very strong reaction most astronomers have whenever astrology is mentioned. Dont get me wrong i know next to nothing about the belief system apart from what star sign i am so dont attack. My point is that surely there has been or is currently some form of study{scientific} into the effects the movments of the heavens may have on us, it seems a little strange to think that this wonderous universe we live in has no effect on us what so ever. I have no idea what those affects may be but i do think its a little small minded to ignore the possibility. Its a big thought and such a question does not leave the human mind with the secure boundaries it seems to crave, such uncertainties tend to make us a little hostile.
I say again this post is not about astrology, i dont really care for that take on it, so dont get stuck into em.
I would just really like to hear some intelligent thoughts on the matter and i can think of no better place to discuss it than here.
Or have i crossed some invisible line, should we as astronomers not ask such questions?
p.s sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasnt sure where to plonk it..maybe general chat? please move it if this is no good
Thanks all..{runs away to hide}
