   @chrisbellydance Skeptics have their minds open all the time. They are willing to believe any idea they are given as long as it has been proven and as long as the idea or concept has supporting evidence.
   Your definition of “Opening your mind” is obviously different to everyone else s definition because by telling him to shut up you are effectively closing YOUR mind to HIS ideas, therefore YOU sir are an idiot.

   @chrisbellydance What is Astrology? Well, Astrology is what helps you know who’s a fool. All you have to do is ask, do you believe in Astrology? As simple as that. Wonderful tool.

   Instead of playing with words and not taking Astrology seriously at all, scientists should vigorously examine astrology, not leave the credibility of this
   ancient ART to a mere 6:27 minutes, many scientists believe that it takes less than this amount of time to disprove astrology as the methods they use only involve the sun signs you find in the local paper. A true scientist would swallow his pride and actively assault this ART with great keen, no, instead immediate bias somehow disproves it.

   The problem is that the public needs to be educated on what is ‘POP’ and what is ‘Proper Astrology’, society’s perception of fate is an image of a grand puppeteer who is out to get us all, how very wrong this is. The very essence of astrology is that we are all in this together, humans are a part of the universe as are the stars.

   @eveleen1111
   Yes, everything does contain energy, but that does not mean that energy is whatever you take it to mean. You still have not satisfactorily explained what an “energy field” is. Is it a physical thing?

   See, I have been taught that energy is the capacity to do work. Not an aura. Not a floating ball of metaphysical light. And certainly not the process by which a person gets sick, or gets better.

   @eveleen1111
   So I’ll take that to mean that none of your claims have been backed up by reliable studies published in reputable journals?

   What do I have to contribute here? This is a video about whether there is any truth to astrology or not. That is what I am discussing, from a skeptical viewpoint. At least I am not resorting to personal attacks of character.

   @jessiessica After reading a few replys from you here, I thought you were genuine, but I see that you are not. People who devote time to helping others, do so with love. Those who have been bestowed with the gift of healing, do so, also, w/love. You may be a gift to some, but you certainly are no present. What is your point and what do you have to contribute here, other than hiding behind a userid, argueing with those that care? done here

   @jessiessica EVERYTHING contains energy. When I speak to a client, THE CLIENT understands what I am referring to. Your definition of ‘energy’ wants to argue a mute point with me. It would serve you to argue with someone who chooses to continue. It would also serve you to stay grounded with what you’ve been taught, instead of confusing bullshit with bullshit.

    @eveleen1111

    Oh, and if medical astrology, as you say, shows EVERY illness that arrives, peaks and goes away, then why have no astrologers won the nobel prize for medicine? Surely something that can predict illness in individuals with a 100% success rate would be accepted as a marvel of modern science! Could you please refer me to the peer-reviewed scientific journal that confirmed this fact of yours?

    “Energy field is simply a phrase based on seeing it in the chart. ”

    You do realise that the word “energy” is not a term science intended to be taken loosely to have whatever meaning you impose upon it. Energy is defined as the capacity to perform work, something that can be measured directly without any need for an astrological chart.

    @jessiessica , To answer your Q, Medical Astrology is very serious system OF astrology. It takes years to this, and there are Doctors that have learned the system to enhance their practice. . Yes, medical astrology shows every illness that arrives, peaks…and yes..goes away. Baby’s arriving in, the mothers body must be ready at the same moment. No accidents but very few people realize medical astrology works effectively. Energy field is simply a phrase based on seeing it in the chart.
