Who told you the names of my children?

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure you're a Taurus. Tauruses do not believe in astrology. Source: I'm also a Tauraus

We have Ford Taurus at home

Astrology is the belief that the positions of the stars have some significance for you.

The picture is talking about our local planets, which is even dumber.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

In the astrological sense, planets are stars, too. The relative position of the planets is important.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Astrology dates back into antiquity long before telescopes. Stars and planets were just dots in the sky, only difference is that planets move relative to the static stars hence their name (planet means something like wanderer).

I have heard stuff in astrology like "Mars is in the house of Taurus". Don't know what exactly it means but it is very important

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah but, Mars is awfully bright tonight. Explain that!

Those who are educated amongst us know this is a clear sign that Voldemort is on the rise. To each their own, though. Go ahead and just be unprepared for the Dark Lord's reprisal.

Well, I mean you can probably blame Earth for a lot of issues; although I suppose it's the population and not the planet itself.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I think we can blame the planet for being born. 😤

I will blame Visual Studio for anything and everything thank you very much

Why is your username purple? Are you an admin of instace or community or anything?

I am Voyager app developer!

Woah did not expect that!

What about Ceres, Quaoar, Makmake and Haumea? What about Sedna, Eris and gonggong? How could anyone forget about gonggong?

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Those were never labeled planets. Pluto was. Arbitrary classification changed to keep Earth's label important. Wierdly earth centric decision.

The classifications were always arbitrary. But if you were to change the classification back to what it was before the dwarf plant thing you'd still be including other dwarf planets.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sure... what would be wrong with that?

in the moment of my birth, Barnum's effect was in retrograde

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Who. It's who. Nominative, not objective. Compare and contrast:

  • He, who smelt it, dealt it
  • Him, whom the letter is for, sent to it was.

See? Easy: Only ever use "whom" when speaking like Yoda.

I was being facetious.

“'This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,

when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit

of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our

disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as

if we were villains on necessity; fools by

heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and

treachers by spherical pre-dominance; drunkards,

liars, and adulterers by an enforc'd obedience of

planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,

by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion

of whore-master man, to lay his goatish

disposition to the charge of a star! My

father compounded with my mother under the

Dragon's Tail, and my nativity was under Ursa

Major, so that it follows I am rough and

lecherous. Fut! I should have been that I am,

had the maidenliest star in the firmament

twinkled on my bastardizing.”

So the pull of the full moon affects the tides and we're mostly water. What if the planets affect our health and not our moods in very subtle ways. I doubt it, but it's a thought.

[-] wieson@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

The tides are not an indicator for the health of a body of water. They just move it back and forth.

My hypothesis: the planets affect which nostril you can breathe through this night.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

The tides are not an indicator for the health of a body of water. They just move it back and forth.

I didn't say it was indicator, I wondered if it affected us in ways. Having your insides move around with the tides might do subtle things. Then again, it might not.

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Respectfully, no.
