i'm weary of seeing astrology posts on FB, especially now in the new year where people naively check their horoscopes. hundreds of years after the intellectual foundations of astrology were shattered, people still take it seriously.
'astrology survived and flourished. why? because it seems to lend a cosmic significance to the routine of our daily lives. it pretends to satisfy our longing to feel personally connected with the universe. astrology suggests a dangerous fatalism... if our lives are controlled by a set of traffic signals in the sky, why try to change anything?' - carl sagan
and
'the desire to be connected with the cosmos reflects a profound reality... for we are connected... not in the trivial ways that the pseudoscience of astrology promises, but in the deepest ways.' - again, carl sagan
ask me what sign i am. you will never, never, never get a straight answer. i don't pander to this... lunacy [pun intended].
