Astrology

Your statements show you really don't know much about the subject. As far as if there is a market, I'm not naming names but there is one very well known member of this board that I believes makes good money from the market and he is as honest as the day is long.


Also, while you are correct Houdini made good money from debunking psychics and mediums,which Astrology does not fall into that category, he also spent years trying to prove they did exist, in an effort to contact his mother, who passed away unexpectedly. And after Houdini's sudden death his wife Beth spent years trying to contact his spirit.

To the OP, if you honestly know about Astrology and don't try to defraud people, I wish you the best of luck.

I heard somewhere else that all star-signs are shifted wrong because of the precession. So using a time server should be taken into consideration.

But clearly, as astrology on television makes money, it certainly works on the web. Nevertheless, you should carefully research and plan so that it is not going to be a blind shot.

Thank you Jennifer! You have a new subscriber. :-D

Astrology works! That is if you've studied it properly and can draw up a horoscope with the planets and rising star in their correct houses.

But there's more to it than that, I believe not everyone can give a good reading even if they've studied the subject deeply.

I am firmly of the opinion that the drawing of the horoscope and the studying thereof focuses some sort of ability, call it physic if you will, that enables a fully correct reading of it.

This is not to say that this is the only reason for drawing up the horoscope or that it is a load of hogwash. Someone who's studied astrology, and who has no special affinity for the subject can still give a surface reading but a correct in depth reading requires more.

Unfortunately scam artists who have pretended to be astrologers and who have had very little or no knowledge of the subject have partially destroyed it's reputation and led to the 3 line daily newspaper horoscope, or even worse the weekly or monthly one which attempts to place one twelfth of the worlds population in the same box, which is patently ridiculous.

A horoscope correctly drawn up for a particular person by someone who has a "feel" for the subject can be almost frighteningly accurate.

However astrology's reputation has been adversely affected by

FIRST those who without much knowledge have tried to scam people by pretending to be astrologers,

and SECOND those who with little or no knowledge, or personal experience of a reading by a "true" astrologer, have tried, somewhat successfully, to discredit the subject

and THIRD By Really devout Christians and others who follow the Old Testament who interpret verses in Deuteronomy , Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel as forbidding astrology.

Suffice it to say I gave up making "predictions" many years ago due to an occurrence which I felt, although unlikely, could possibly have been someone taking an action to ensure his reading came true.

I then concentrated purely on character analysis, which after the results of a number of test subjects, a psychiatrist admitted was accurate.

I gave up astrology entirely about 15 years ago. You would be surprised at the type of people I drew up horoscopes for.

PS: I was never given the names or anything else which could identify the test subjects.
PPS: I have no quarrel with Christians interpretations regarding astrology. I gave up astrology for somewhat similar reasons.

PPPS: Astrology on the internet is divided into three types of practitioners: Genuine ones who require full data and draw up a horoscope and read it personally

Ones who give instant readings via personal data being captured by a program which then spits out a horoscope with what might be an extremely limited but valid reading depending on the program

Pure scam artists, who are in the majority, I would hope that no-one reading this thread joins them.

astroadvice.com is the place I get my readings. You can get a free membership and also get all kind's of stuff FREE. There are upgrades available. The Astrologer here is Eugenia Last.

The Star's IMPELL, they do not COMPELL.

When you throw in a bit of astronomy, conspiracy, mysticism, etc along with some tall tales and moonshine, very few niches are as lucrative.

Almost all of my sales are to "skeptics". They eat this stuff up, debunking it. It's a very hot market. :p
