It pissed me off a little

When someone asks for a birth chart reading and then leaves and doesn’t listen to it. A free birth chart reading! I asked if a user wanted a birth chart reading and she said yes and she gave me everything I needed to do an accurate reading and then she left the pm. I looked and her account seems to be deleted. Pff.

What’s needed to make an ‘accurate' reading? Just say-so birth data or do you demand seeing a birth certificate?

How can astrology be taken seriously? A amateur reading is going to be on par to a paid professional?

Nobody shows it works and how it works. The religious like belief is the requirement. Go to ten different astrologers and ten different readings are the results.

@BlueSkyKing that sounds rhetorical so I’m not going to answer.
@Greyjedi No, it’s called rational thinking. Why is blind belief required instead of producing evidence?

@BlueSkyKing I thought so rhetorical .

@Greyjedi All anecdotal. Astrology isn’t a social science, it’s an ancient con. Now you’re saying that astrology is also great cut rate psychology. Nobody says science is anywhere perfect, but it’s the best we have and has a history of working.

@BlueSkyKing and science would be better if it took astrology seriously. The are some psychology professors who are looking at astrology as a tool to understand peoples perspections.
@Greyjedi Science is a method, not a position. Which requires physical evidence. Detectable, measurable, and passes repeated testing. Can astrologers design tests that they actually pass? Fame and fortune along with a cinch Nobel. It would be more historic than the moon landings.

What are you waiting for?

@BlueSkyKing Astrology is also a method. I only have one University degree, you need at least two to qualify to create any publishable experiment.
@Greyjedi Methodology for astrology? That’s a first. Is this the list of standard steps for your astrology method?

1. Never give a sucker an even break.
2. Get the money upfront.
3. Make sure they come back for more.

Looks like they are interchangeable.
