I like maps. I like puzzles. Astrology’s both.

First got intrigued when in my ignorant militant atheism dogma phase, and someone managed to discern my sun sign, just by my appearance and behaviours. I have since gone on to do the same to others, typically with as much world-view-changing astonishment in them as I experienced.

Can’t be bunk if that can be done.

The observable profiling reality of it, does open minds to wondering about what’s the astrological weather like.

To put on my obnoxious skeptic hat, it sounds like you are analyzing how the historical conditions of people’s upbringing affects each generations’ behaviors and mannerisms. Just, with an astrological chart rather than with a calendar.

  I do not know how it sounds like that to you. Seems a strong non sequitur. Maybe I’m missing something. Care to elaborate how you made this leap?

    People who grew up around the same time and geography have the same historical pressures on what behaviors they learn. Obviously outcome varies a lot individual to individual, but it creates broad trends among large groups. Sorting chronologically brings those trends to the forefront.
