Why did you test National Socialists as a category, and what is the significance of National Socialists that would stand out as being possibly Scorpio type, out of all of the political movements in the world from any place or time? You do realize that one had to be a National Socialist to retain a ...

Varuna2, thank you for you comment. I had forgot that I've actually seen similar interpretations at some point. But as you wrote, "the planets are portrayed as functioning differently depending on which nakshatra, or in the example given which nakshatra pada, they are in". So, actually we...

It seems that the same thing applies with the nakshatras: they work very well with the Moon as lunar mansions, and exactly as the texts describe, but it?s not very fruitful to use them as ?signs? with other planets. Hi Papretis, You may want to look at 3 texts on nakshatras. Ravana Samhita Lunar Ma...

I do not want to advocate this author's conjectures and conclusions, but there are many texts cited (both ancient Sanskrit texts and fixed star texts from around a hundred years or so ago - which in themselves may also contain references to older texts(?)) in this text which may prove fruitful for t...

Fraud needs to be provable that it happened. How is any shyster (Schuster's lawyer) going to prove that (in the case of the persecuted in the article) that person did not communicate with the soul which passed this realm? This is unprovable, therefore the fraud charge is also unprovable, therefore ...

Varuna Please be respectful to waybread and all other posters. It is not your place to dictate to Waybread what she believes in or does not believe in. Waybread is capable of doing this herself. It is also not the responsibility of Waybread or anyone else to defend or make apologies for the all the...

This just in, in the morning's news. A good reason for astrologers to consider their truth claims; and the reason why professional astrological associations want to safeguard the good practitioners. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/11/04/recent-psychic-fraud-trials-in-ny-florida-expose-line-between-f...

Varuna, I am not going to respond to your personal attacks, as you have no idea what has been my experience with the medical profession. It has been sufficiently extensive, from several perspectives, for me not to need a stranger telling me I've been somehow brainwashed by it. It is regretable that...

Myriam, I have a very different impression. Astrologers are oh-so- quick to point out mistakes in the medical profession by way of justifying astrology, but given the millions of prescriptions, procedures, consultations, &c taking place daily on the planet, I don't think we can assume that an a...

Varuna2, I started to craft a response to your rant (flame?) but decided against it. If you find that your invectives against complete strangers and misunderstandings of science get you through life in great shape, who am I to argue with you? Good luck with them. People oftentimes reject a dosage o...

That's why the antiscientism that is so rife on this board ? even on the Philosophy & Science subforum! ? is unfortunate, because I think there are useful lessons to be learned but we'll have a hard time learning them if we're blindly prejudiced against 'science'. We all have the right to our o...

Your assertion that Tesla knew as much about "his scientific field" (physics?) as any scientist in his field is not accompanied by evidence or even a description of what he knew. And yet it was a true assertion, but that is neither here nor there, except to use as a comparison: despite a ...
