Are we affected by the alignment of other planets or stars in the fifty billion other galaxies or just our own.
Tragedies happened around the world on the other 364 days that the planets were not "aligned". So I would have to say that Astrology is a little hokey. A waste of time and "Energy".
And horoscopes are sometimes 180 degrees opposite from one another in their instructions and details, that it is very entertaining, very humorous. How can one take it seriously?
