Knows nothing about astrology. And no, I will not explain nor argue my point here, anyone who does understand anything about real astrology, not the Sunday papers entertainment blurbs, knows what I mean.

....it under “Religion and Spirituality”. Another indication of open-mindedness (usually) of the denizens of this site.

Kyle grew up in a house full of guns, probably fed RW stuff all his life. I would guess Greta did not.

that the planets of that day act out in different areas of their lives. Depending on the day and when they were born, they may have different moons. Or one may have a void of course moon, the other may have a moon that is very active with the other planets in the chart. The environment they were raised in would alter how each chart works within that person.

Now we have 13 sister stars, Sorry dodecagon lovers! Psst. stay tuned. Our sun may have a burned out companion star accounting for the extra huge area of the solar system.

Libra was invented by the Romans. Fake sign !

Also, the orbit of the Sun crosses the constellation Ophiuchus, which is nonetheless not one of the signs of the Zodiac.

The division of the Sun's pathway into various "zones" is completely arbitrary, and different cultures use different "zodiacs".

Bright star patterns are just illusions, with some of the stars being much closer than others, which just happen to be enormously brighter.

If they believe in astrology, they are not compatible.

I also don't subscribe to any religions.

But, we can all get along.
