With dedication to "Marie-Helene" : Scientific community considers astrology a pseudoscience or superstition not a science as you said and visit this site please to see that Jura didn't make any confusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology. I demand an apology from rigor.

I see it as a fraud. If you're curious about it, read 'Cold Reading'.

Hi... with a lot of respect for this very old science... Don't confuse astrology and horoscope please Jura...

Hi I see it as a bit of fun, I am a Cancer or a Dragon if you look at Chinese astrology.

Hi Doramaar, just to answer your comment... Originally astrology had nothing to do with (personal) horoscopes and had more to do with the correlation of patterns observed in the sky relating to cycles on earth - the most obvious being lunar cycles (tides) and the seasons. The zodiac was a system created for reference so constellations could be more easily recognized and the night sky could be mapped. The idea of personal horoscopes and signs relating to a person's behaviour only turned up during the Roman Empire, which counts as a relatively recent development in astrology. Unfortunately horoscopes are much too open to interpretation I think, and therein begins the confusion. Marie-Helene, does this refer to what you are talking about? I'm also thinking about the work of Michel Gauquelin, but haven't read heavily into it... I hope I haven't opened a can of worms here!
