Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

I never was a hippie.
I raced my Corvettes in sports car rallies.
I didn't go to San Francisco until years later, and then in a limousine.
I never advocated "free love" -- I made them pay for it.

The miracle of "enlightenment" occurred when I was age four.

It's kinda cute that you two quibble so....

anyway, I have a (good) question. If astrology, as the study of cycles, is it easier to predict(and I mean "guess", but you knew that) near time events or long time events? Obviously small events which do not show up in cycles are the hardest, but big ones are relatively easy, right? But are they harder to predict when they are near or far?

Reason for the question; option a). near events are easier - people are intuitively inspired by their surroundings as well as the science of astrology.
option b). far events are easier - people do better when they can see the historical patterns and the science is less intuitive than some would believe (making it more of a science than a guessing game).
option c). neither is harder than the other which leads to the conclusion that it is all whoie.

I think that there are a lot (80-90%) of option a). astrologers out there who guess and most of them are bad (but not nec ones worth mentioning obviously). I think there are a good deal of b). astrologers as well, who predict long term effects from current statuses. these I believe are rarer due to the fact that you have to actually think/study to be one of them (ie. Richnorth is a pretty good option b) TB is an obvious option c).

I think it is silly personally to trust money with anyone on the idea that they are using their intuition to guess an outcome. But when you back that up with a study of market cycles as well as being backed up with astrological cycles I guess 6th is not all that bad. Apparently, however, there are a few others out there that do better simply by using market data, which leads me further from being an option b). and closer to being an option c).

perhaps when the Hippies reunite again we'll see Richnorth become an option c). as well... but I'm predicting NOT! (hey look I think I have made my first astrological prediction, TB will have to burn me at the stake/bra now) LOLROTFLMAO....
