No. The article is about how astrology not only doesn't work, it can not work.

Astrology is pure hokum, through and through. HOWEVER, its good to have some knowledge of it because Christianity grew out of a compost of astrology and ancient folklore. Acharya S. covers the subject in depth in her book "The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold", an oustanding book in my estimation.

Good article. If it were real, what would be the implications if you lived on another planet or another solar system? It's so earth and human-centered; as if the universe, the same universe that sent comets to the earth and made species extinct, cares about you.

My last conversation about astrology: my friend was saying how she's a scorpio and all her friends are scorpios. I said "You do know scorpios are supposed to hate each other, right? Also, they're supposed to be sex maniacs" (she's a virgin.)
