Astrology above Earth's surface
"Jaak Suurpere" wrote in message om... Astrology works on the surface of Earth. The orbit of Earth defines the Zodiac. The rotation of Earth defines the Spring Equinoctial Point and thus the locations of Zodiac signs. The surface of Earth with rotation defines the Ascendant as well as the entire House distribution. I always preferred to look at it the way my old physics prof did. What is it about astrology that works? Gravity? Energy, etc. If it's gravity, then really charts should be based on the mass of the doctor or midwife attending the birth as they will have far more affect on the baby than say Saturn. If it's energy, why not a whole new "High Energy Astrology" based on the placement of items such as Cygnus X-1 in the sky, etc. What happens to the astral chart when one is at a significant distance from ground surface? How do Houses change? Obviously the oxygen tanks on Apollo 13 blew up because she was Apollo 13 and it was April 13. But... Apollo 13 was about 200 000 miles from Earth. What was the astral chart for that time and place? No, obviously the oxygen tanks (sic) on Apollo 13 blew up because of a faulty maintenance procedure months beforehand. And besides Apollo 13 is only a name. It wasn't the 13th manned flight. It wasn't the 13th Apollo flight. etc. Can anyone compare this chart with other astral charts Apollo 13 passed through on the course of her trajectory? And prove that she run into a particularly unlucky astral chart at the time of explosion? |

You forgot about such phenomena as precession and nutation of the Earth's axis, both of which are caused by the Moon & Sun. -- Steven D. Litvintchouk Email: Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. |

The basic concept of astrology--that the heavens influence our lives & behavior--might actually work on a planet of a multiple-star system, because the very habitability of that planet might depend on how close or far away the other stars and planets are. That was the subject of Isaac Asimov's famous science-fiction short story, "Nightfall". -- Steven D. Litvintchouk Email: Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. |

You have just proved that astrology does not work at all.

And besides Apollo 13 is only a name. It wasn't the 13th manned flight. It
wasn't the 13th Apollo flight. etc. Ah-Ha! But NASA's 13th manned space flight, Gemini 9 ran into problems! It must be of some cosmic significance! On a side note, At one time I wondered if NASA changed the way it numbered shuttle missions after STS 9 just to avoid calling a mission STS 13 (though I think was STS 41-C was also known as STS 13). Frankly I really sometimes wonder what manager was bored enough to come up with the whole convoluted numbering system used before STS 51-L. What were they planning to do when 1994 came around? STS 41-A2? STS 941-A? Bah... Wow, I really digressed there. -A.L. |
