That is your opinion.

Rave and rant all you want and call astrology and its devotees what you will.

"Sir, I have studied it, you have not!" (Sir Isaac Newton)

But I am sure that astrology will always be well and alive no matter what folks like you think it is! For Newton, for me and for countless others, it has worked time and time again!!! And that for me is all that is important.

(With reference to your post to SD)

BTW, for any four-year old it may be as easy as pie to move planet Earth into the vicinity of Jupiter in a toy solar system without affecting the placements and movements of the other planets. But any high school kid with a elementary knowledge of Newton's Inverse Square Law and the Law of Conservation of Energy knows enough to be able to advise you that it would be catastrophic, if not impossible, to do so. I don't suppose you ever studied enough physics in school? Much too much of a snooty artsy-fartsy, eh? Or a spoilt brat who had been conditioned to believe that whatever he thinks must be right and/or have physical reality?

BTW, who in his right mind would (or would be masochistic enough to) want to move so far away from the sun which on Earth, apart from providing warmth, sustains life by enabling photosynthesis in plants to provide food for us and for animals which, in turn, provide food for us---sustenance! delicious fresh sustenance!

One can be as wishy-washy and/or dreamy as one pleases a la Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland where science-fiction is concerned. But unfortunately, this universe is governed by inexorable and immutable laws that respect no one, no matter how smart a person is or thinks he/she is. <ggg>

PS. Did you drop a 0 (zero) from the 4?
