Jotown Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 I recieved this note from a very well respected astrologer buddy of mine. He has quite a history of being able to make accurate predictions. So keep your head up. :evil: [quote]He wrote: .....tomorrow seems a crazy day for pres and company, stock market upsets (as if that's not every week at some point), and even Iraq's chart. Will Iraq try a bluff to surrender? Will the war accidently kind of start in next few days or does it start end of feb and into march? Are there other crazy events tomorrow? Natural disaster (seems like aspects are building very similiar to quake aspects in Cal. and elsewhere)? Travel problems? Major death of important social cultural leaders? The Pope? Movie Star? Who? Oil freak outs (up prices, spills?). Weird weather? Or is it just a confusing and spiritually mystifying few days ? Seems, astrologically, something is up.

Dave Pierce Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Well, this particular "prediction" seems guaranteed to be accurate. I've performed a complex and thorough semantic analysis on it, and have discovered that what it actually says is: "Something will happen. Unless it doesn't." Which, by a surprising coincidence, is exactly what my horoscope said for today. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up. My Funk/Jam originals project: http://www.thefunkery.com/

Joachim P. Dyndale Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 I'd have to agree with Dave on this. Doesn't seem to be any different than any other horoscope I've ever read. Descriptions are so vague they will apply to 99% of the people it's intended for in some way, ar they are accurate but so obvious it's almost funny. But then, I don't believe in this astrology stuff, so don't take my word for it. -Joachim Dyndale -------------------- Einstein: The difference between genius and stupidity is: Genius has limits My Blog...

Steve LeBlanc Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Astrology is a joke...it doesn't stand up to scientific method...actually it fails horribly even before you get to that point. Are our personalities swayed by the stars? Probably not...I don't know that there is absolute proof that they aren't but even if they are Astrology is a crock. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb

Mats Olsson. Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Tell your friend the astrologer that I had one of the shittiest days in a long time. Also tell him to bring good news next time. What is it with these folks, astrologists and weathermen/girls?, their job is to make every day better than the last one. /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want?

Look, I don't pretend to understand fully how the universe works, so I try to be cautious when stating how it [b]does not[/b] work. But if you want to tell me you have a valid, repeatable predictive system, then the predictions better be specific. For an example, I just now went to google, did a "today's horoscope" search, clicked on the first link that came back, and got my horoscope for today. Now, can you tell me of a day when the following would [b]not[/b] be true?

A brief exposure to an illness can prevent vulnerability to some far worse disease. Now think of what's happening in your life and be glad of it.

Anifa Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Gee, my horriblescope tells me that the "Man of My Dreams," who is also "My Soul Mate and quickly becoming my very best friend," is the absolute WORST possible combination for compatible sun signs. Says our chances of lasting on a scale of 1 to 10 are a 1, and that our romantic passions only match up to a 3...... I ain't believin' a word of it.....

Salyphus Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 I'm no believer in astrology, but it definitely looks like something way out of the ordinary has happened :cry:
Kwiks Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 Yeah, a terrible astorolgical event of sorts. :cry: That prediction kinda has some weight now, at least for me. Kwiks "It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do." - Butthole Surfers
BP3 Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 It appears that the prediction was a day too early. :cry:
Jotown Posted February 1, 2003 Author Posted February 1, 2003 First, and with much respect. Love and blessings to these astronauts and their families at this sad time. The actual event was from 1-28 to 2-01. I left out some of the details to keep the post short. So let me see. On the 31st there was the military plane crash in Afganistan, the train wreck in Australia. There have been numerous truck bridge related accidents. Here in Michigan we had a truck launch off of a bridge and crash. Also on the 28th we had that massive expolsion in North Carolina. Anyway, you folks don't believe in this stuff do ya'? The astrology things you read in the newspapers are very general, and meant for entertainment. Real astrology is a science. There are alot of factors that go into a prediction like the one my friend offered. One more note: In the original prediction I recieved, he also mentioned Israel, due to how this event was transiting the chart for that country. One of the dead on the space shuttle as an Israeli astronaut. Hm..... To all of you naysayers, it is a good idea to have some understanding of a subject before you dismiss it. Most of you negative posters obviously do not. Jotown:) "It's all good: Except when it's Great"

Gus Lozada Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 Ironic, but... apparently It was in the stars... My deepest sympathy.

Dan South Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Jotown, I luv ya man, but you're falling into the coincidence trap. Bad things happen all the time. If someone "predicts" that a bad thing will happen on such and such a date, once that date rolls around, your mind will search for the nearest bad event and say, "Wow! The prediction was RIGHT!" I'm sorry, but I find it repugnant to treat the victims of either the shuttle tragedy or the chemical plant as the unfortunate fodder of a cruel astronomical coincidence. A few days ago, four soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash and thirty people were killed in a bus explosion. Did the stars predict these incidents? Within the last two weeks, there have been two fatal plane crashes in the US. Did the stars predicted these accidents? Did the stars predict that massacre of Israelis that happened two weeks ago? It's coincidence. If you believe that astrology predicted these events, that's because you WANT to believe and your mind is searching for evidence of a cause and effect relationship that does not exist. But there are enough random events on a daily and weekly basis to justify any prediction. When I first saw your post, I was going to jokingly post that a plane crash was upcoming. I decided (thankfully) that that would have been tasteless. But what if I HAD posted that? Does that mean that I'm psychic? Nope. It was just a coincidence. If I'd claimed that I had psychic abilities, that would have been B.S, the same B.S. that's used to swindle unsuspecting people everyday, people who CAN be swindled in the first place because they have a deep yearning to believe that false predictions could come true.
