Eternal Marionetta RS Sailor Blue Actually, this only affects those born in 2011 onward. So Netta is still a fish-goat? YAY!!!! ^w^ Here we go again: Quote: Quote: Taking the current constellation boundaries as defined in 1930 by the International Astronomical Union, the ecliptic itself passes through an additional thirteenth constellation, Ophiuchus, situated between Scorpius and Sagittarius.

YAY!!!! ^w^ Actually, no this affects everyone born within the last like many many number of years, the earth is in a completley different place than it was when the zodiac was created, and thats why all of our signs are wrong, because we have been going by the old zodiac dates wich are innacurate now, and have been for a long time.

Eternal Marionetta Oh, Yanueh... Racism and astronomy have nothing to do with eachother... They're both unscientific ways to judging people based on how they were born. It's no different than any other form of prejudice.

It's no different than any other form of prejudice. Nu-uh. It's just a fun thing to do. You overreact. Racism and the zodiac are completly separate subects.

Eternal Marionetta Nu-uh. It's just a fun thing to do. Not when there are people who tell you who you absolutely should and shouldn't date or marry based on nothing but the day they were born, or have decided they'll never date anyone of a particular sign. Quote: You overreact. Racism and the zodiac are completly separate subects. Please, explain to me what the difference between astrology and any other form of prejudice and stereotyping is. Here, go to this page and mentally replace each of the star signs with a slur of your choice.

Yanueh Eternal Marionetta Oh, Yanueh... Racism and astronomy have nothing to do with eachother... They're both unscientific ways to judging people based on how they were born. It's no different than any other form of prejudice. I think you're just a tad confused. Quote: Astrology is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs which hold that the relative positions of celestial bodies (the Sun, Moon, and planets) and related details can provide information about personality, human affairs and other "earthly" matters. In other words astrology is based upon astronomic events and celestial bodies. The (Western) Zodiac is based upon constellations and how we can see them from Earth. Astronomy is a science, it's heavily involved with physics and philosophy, futuristic thinking is usually a big part of it and of course recording information. Astrology borrows from Astronomy to relate it to people, comparing similar personalities and traits that individuals have. By some Astrology is considered a science in itself. (Personally, I view personality traits as guidelines.) These subjects are constantly studied, reviewed, changed and updated. These are not spur-of-the-moment decisions that are made, a lot of thinking and studying goes into these matters and usually a consensus between the majority of their community has to be reached before changes are made. More on Astrology here.Information on Astronomy.

WITHOUT using the opinions of others. The zodiac is based off of Greek legends and mythology. There is nothing racial about it. Maybe you should research more and not be so politically correct. People can say and do what they want. It's annoying when someone like you says otherwise.

Astronomy is science. Astrology is pseudoscience. Eternal Marionetta Maybe you should explain to Netta why and how it's racial in your own way. I never said it was racial. It's not a form of racism, but rather analogous to racism. Saying, for example, that Tauruses are lazy is no different than saying, "oh, your friend is gay? Then he'll definitely like the soundtrack to Cats and this pink ascot for Christmas."

Astrology is nothing like this. confused I'm not sure what you're reading but it's not Astrology's job to bash or reduce a person's integrity. Astrology is supposed to be used to help to explain past and present events, and perhaps help us guess what's going to happen in the future. Most predictions are kept rather vague and aren't given on an individual/personal level. Racism is hatred of someone based on race. Astrology doesn't preach hatred or bias in any way. In fact it usually strives to be relate able to all people of all colors and shapes and sizes.

dragon_1212xp Astrology is nothing like this. confused I'm not sure what you're reading but it's not Astrology's job to bash or reduce a person's integrity. Which is why.... -Arieses are selfish and quick-tempered. -Cancers are clingy and unable to let go. -Leos are dogmatic and intolerant. -Sagittarians are irresponsible and superficial. Don't you just love how astrology can immediately tell you what kind of faults any given person has? And yes, I'm aware that each sign includes "positive" aspects, but positive discrimination is still discrimination and is still harmful, as people will expect you to have skills or virtues you may not have and be shocked when you don't.

Racism is when you discriminate for or against someone in any way based on race, whether it's in a positive or negative manner. Quote: Astrology doesn't preach hatred or bias in any way.

Astrology sites often tell people to deliberately date or avoid dating someone of a certain sign if they want or don't want someone with a trait associated with that sign. If ads and search results on the web ("astrology compatibility" is the second suggestion Google gives if you type in "astrology") are any indication, one of the biggest uses for astrology is to attempt to predict who you should and shouldn't date. I reiterate: Astrology is NOT racism or racist, but it is LIKE racism in that people use it to discriminate based on the conditions of a person's birth.

Eternal Marionetta What's your sign? You seem rather ignorant and stubborn. Leo, maybe? Nope. I will say, however, that every webpage that tries to tell someone what to expect when they date me and how to court me makes me want to punch babies - and this includes both signs that apparently apply to me.
