ummm. uh huh, okie dokie. whatever... So Nosty's predictions were vague and didn't come to pass on many occasions in the past, eh! - Rather that mankind has considered them to have already passed before already many times so that you can see that we're probably not correct right now either. pointing out that other people cannot predict things really doesn't help your arguement any. in fact it just shows how wrong we as a race can actually be, believer or non-believer alike. You do have a slight air of hostility when it comes to religion don't you now. sheesh. sorry it got brought up. Astrology is the study of the celestial bodies and the study of their effects on (originally the center of the universe which is totally bogus) the earth. The only problem I have with this is that no two constellations have ever existed, therefore predictions are just about guaren-damn-teed to be wrong. Thus the vagueness that Nosty used was to cover what he knew to be an inexact science... or more to the point a science of guesswork. I guess all I was trying to stress was how inexact it is and how eager we are/have been/will be again in 100 years to say the big N was correct in his predictions. it's kind of like the science of palmastry, it has some lines that are clearer than others and generally the fortune of the person/world can be told by it, but not exactly and who knows what that old woman meant when she said "you will experience a sudden change"...
