Default Min's Dr Min's FTL thread

Reading DM's foray into physics (fizik's?) on a different thread got
me thinking.

So puzzle this riddle for us, oh wizend one.

If a person is aboard a craft moving near the speed of light, and that
individuals 'local' time slows with respect to the linear motion of
time back at good ole' earth, is his/her horoscope invalidated? What
are the occult rules which govern the percentage of relevance retained
by that individual. For example, if he/she leaves as a capricorn,
will he or she return as a pisces?

Since all of the planets are now moving in a different frame of
reference from that individual, should astronauts of the future expect
startling aspect changes as a result? For example, someone who is
"truly generous and has a love for the finer things in life" might
morph into someone who is "somewhat conservative but has a caring
nature"?

I guess this would screw up fortune cookie usage on such flights as
well not to mention dice games (which we all know have predetermined
outcomes...) chuck-o-lucks, wheels of fortune and even roulette?

I suppose, if a ship were dispatched across the universe at
relativistic speeds, it would go without saying that there would be
need for an on-ship astrologer to cast horoscopes frequently to keep
the crew aware of their ever-changing destiny's.

Oh, one other question. Does an earthly natal chart apply to someone
who has moved to Alpha Centauri? If the individual has a kid, would
an earthly chart apply or a local one? Where will the 'hidden wisdom'
come from when folks get to Alpha Centauri that will populate the many
astrological tomes? How would you know when someone was "truly
generous" as opposed to "somewhat generous" or "generous at times"?

Heavy questions to ponder if one cared.

The short answer, no, it would not change their horoscope.
The long answer's a bit more complicated, four paragraphs:

In truth, ones natal horoscope is sealed at birth, at the
first breath of life. The planet of that newborn infant's
psyche is inevitably somewhere in the "region of the gods",
which is the eastern quadrant between the local ascendant
and midheaven, the region where planets are rising. These
are the spheres of soul's discarnate experience in the in-
terim between its aggregate human incarnations upon Earth.

[...]

At least we know that space travelers across
the Milky Way bring their collective heavenly and earthly
experiences with them no matter how far from home they go.
But that of course is just my opinion, and nothing more...

generous" as opposed to "somewhat generous" or "generous at times"?

I'm afraid that I don't buy your explanation. If it is as
your opinion states, things are fixed in time and space, then since
the space traveller is moving in a different causal-field with respect
to the normal space he left, would not the 'mystik effects' of the
planets
continue to influence him/her?

Would that mean that a 'bad day' for our traveller would in fact
translate itself into a 'bad nanosecond'? The individual's life will
continue to play itself out but at a different cadence, and if the
planets of birth continue to influence the individual, then their
effects would be based on their procession through the heavenly
spheres. Moon entering mars, uranus leaving sagittarius, and so
forth. (And would the traveller's destiny be unwound in the first few
seconds of near light travel, and he/she would evaporate because their
lifetimes destiny had been 'all used up'?)

And since the planets play such a big role while they whirl about in
space, since the individuals frame of reference has shifted with
respect to them, as I asked before, won't that open up all sorts of
new destinies as a result?

It appears that in reality, astrology's all held together with
non-causal associations based upon suppositions, superstitions,
fabrications and completely unprovable assumptions concocted into a
system designed to hide it's utter fallicy?

Is it that the planets motion have nothing to do with the events of
ones life? The shaman's mumbo-jumbo to influence the minds of others
much the same as the mullah's goal to control and exploit? Is it that
everyone's destiny is defined by other elements and all the mistikal
unknown arm waving is just put-on for the rubes?

Just my opinion.

BTW, You didn't answer my other questions either.

Don't flatter yourself. I post to newsgroups primarily
for the lurkers out there. Any time a trolling heathen
like you replies with at least one legitimate question,
then I reply strictly for the sake of the lurkers, but
never for the despicable likes of you. The moment that
trolls like you reveal their true colors, plonk you go
in my labyrinth of killfiles. To you I say see you bye.

Glad you won't be reading my response. For someone as loquatious
as you seem to be it is somewhat dismaying to see how little you
seem to be interested in engaging in a discussion which voices a
contrary position to the one you endlessly espouse on the net.
If your views are so universally true then why is it that you
don't seem able to convince anyone here? And for that matter
who is the invisible crowd of 'lurkers' you seem to believe are
following your endless stream of mixed pretensions, phoney
predictions, hateful epithets and downright mean spirited verbal
bile excretions?

And you still didn't answer my questions. I interpret that
to mean I hit the nail on the head.
