Somewhat recently, I have gotten into a few debates about astrology and such stuff with a person whom I regard as a highly intelligent one. Please note that he's a very rational, logically thinking man with excellent skills at chess, mathematics and logics... at any rate, not something you could call a weirdo that believes in all kinds of stupid stuff.
There is, though, that one thing that he believes in, and that's astrology. NOT the kind of newspaper horoscopes - I've been able to prove to everyone that they're complete b/s. Compare stuff from different papers and you'll see... but I'm not getting into it now.
The kind of astrology I'm speaking of is a birth horoscope. It's created by knowing the exact date and time of a person's birth, and I just happen to know my birth time precisely to the minute. Then, some 12 houses are drawn, planets arranged according to some tables and whatnot, it's pretty complex stuff, and not something I've examined, either.
He says that this kind of horoscope is the only one that can be true, gave me a few examples of matching stuff. I was saying that it's complete crap, all the way till I got mine.
First thing it said was about a certain unlucky period for me. Hmm, I thought, there was an event in that timeframe that certainly ruined much of my life for the next time. I did, though, ask for an exact date of when was my bad period supposed to happen - and got a very exact answer. It was, though, 4 months before the event actually happened. I cheered that it just proves the horoscope is b/s...
But then, I was very disappointed. Every other thing matched. It was basically a perfect match, which got me annoyed to no end. I have never believed in any sort of astrology and here it is, now...
Therefore, I ask, is there any possibility how the placement of planets at time of birth can affect people? I realise that it's pretty stupid sounding, and don't believe that myself, but who knows... planets have gravitation, humans have metals in them... much possible interaction. I would please like tips to some literature or websites on the subject...
Accepting the possibility of it would go against many of my beliefs, but I confess it has gotten me pretty interested.
Maybe anyone knows what the horoscope method I tried to describe is called, or how it's done?
