At least one would think ‘enough said’. apparently not.
Astrology and all the other pseudo-sciences annoy me..
I cannot comprehend continued belief in this tom-foolery!
I would try and say something eloquently deep and convincing on the topic, but to pretend anyone can do that better than Sagan is absurd.

Are there parallels to the persistence of Astrology and Christianity in society today? One might think that Faith in both, in direct conflict with actual Historical and Scientific Evidence, plays a large portion. -mike

Astronomy is the study of material cosmological objects. Astrology is a mental construct based on said materiality begun thousands of years ago and that still has significant cultural impact and entanglement. They are compatible. Ignore either, and you miss out on something significant. I say that as someone who only pays a little attention to astrology. It is for the mind, though, and should not overly influence one’s actions with observable reality. It’s like a fantasy game running in the background that you can log into and take something away from. Don’t insist that everyone play the game, though. They might not want to.

No argument. I think it’s kind of like a placebo. Just a mental effect, but still a significant one. I have friends who are into astrology. I don’t begrudge them their serious interest. Myself, I just like to “dip into” that way of thinking from time to time.

Sagan. What a legend! I love how he put together the things to go on the Voyager Gold Record. What a cool legacy.

Not going to lie I have an Astrology app on my phone even though I know it is very highly unlikely that Astrology is real. Honestly, I read my horoscope daily because the app I use usually has a positive spin and is more advice oriented. So even though I doubt Astrology can predict what my day is going to be like 356 times a year, I use it as a little pick me up to start my day.

The right to keep and bear arms. … Use it or lose it.Roger that. Accordingly, while it is still possible, acquire proper armament and training in its use. This means, principally, a handgun in 9mm Parabellum or a more powerful caliber. The handgun has two advantages over any other arm: it can be concealed from view and it can be on your person always. Should you be set upon by the il-deisposdl, whether a state or a non-state actor, it will be ready to hand instead of in your car trunk or your closet.
