Beliefs can be falsifiable. I believe that I left my keys in that little bowl by the door. Any proposition which is held to be true is a belief.
While this is true of all beliefs (Laws and Theories can be beliefs too) I wasn't using the word to literally mean anything one believes in. I mean that a "belief" in this context, that is 'merely a belief', and by definition, cannot be subjected to the scientific method.
And to jam's credit, I have been warned off this topic before, as I do have a tendency to be sensational in an effort to bait people, and this thread is no exception. For example, I could have simply named the thread, "Sun's position at birth, fixed or relative?" but my thinking at the time, is that most people who have something to say about astrology, would most likely ignore/avoid the issue.
Joke's on me though, because with the exception of pyrid, they're avoiding it anyways
I genuinely do want to learn though. The problem I'm finding with astrology, is that it's tough to discern where the astronomy/trig/geometry ends, and the mysticism begins. There's an incredible amount of information on this topic, which I didn't realize diving into it.
But qwe is correct. In the end, this is a mission with an objective. I am looking for the truth. I want to be able to say, with credibility "astrology has merit and here is why" or "astrology is bullshit and here's why"
