Since I am very upset from Nasrallah's speech yesterday, and since I need something to cheer up since I'll nearly cry, I suggest some horoscope and numerology follow up study What is your horoscope? Check this site www.eastrolog.com/on the basis that tomorrow's horoscope equals today's horoscope, and tell me how much accurate it was. There was a project done in the university and they discovered that only very few percent has the predictions applie. I want to replicate this study here. So watch for what happens to you to day and report it to me. regards

We ran horoscopes over on the BAUT forum, and hardly anybody correctly selected their own from a collection of four.

I find this site the most "reliable", as many times it tells what passed through the day to me. However, at many times it fails to do so. Sometimes, it is the "tomorrow" horoscope that applies in the current day. So, I just want to see the percentage of people who believe that it applied on them. Can you have and input?

Lionking, do you think that if you were presented with several horoscopes from that site for a given day, without having reviewed them yourself, that you would be able to pick out the one which correlates to your birthdate?

I don't know. However, the characters of virgo horoscope that I read do fit me.

What I have found is that the characteristics of all horoscopes fit to some degree. I was involved in the BAUT experiment, and all four that I was given had certain traits I would consider to have been compatible with myself, but when I did a mathematical analysis on each of them, they were all below 50% accurate. The one with the highest accuracy (which I choose) wasn't mine. I think BA adequately dealt with this on his webpage dealing with Astrology.

Small test for you Lionking. Here are 5 Horoscopes from the same site (which I know you won't have been too. 1 of them is for Virgo. Can you pick which one? 1) Avoid casting yourself in a position where it's all or nothing, for just as playful, creative and romantic stars build, lucky work stars are also drawing your attention. You can have your cake and eat it too, with a balance between work and play, creating the right mix that will not only keep you on target, but bring a lot of creativity into the mix. You'll know when you've found the right balance, for everything will start to flow. 2) Avoid over thinking a situation, trusting your instincts and your own moral compass. When you're sure of yourself you're less likely to be swayed by prevailing currents, which will also alter course. Stay true to your own sense of what is and isn't right for you, even if that runs counter to what others think or even to what makes logical sense. When it all comes out in the wash, you'll find that your instincts are right on the money. 3) If you've painted yourself into a corner or you feel that you're stuck in a rut, today's lunar and Jupiter vibes join forces to show you just how wrong you are. It's where you think you have limited choices, that you simply have a lack of imagination. Instead of seeing a roadblock as the end of the line, see it as a chance to take a creative new approach, being prepared to look outside the square and refusing to admit defeat. 4) Even though you're having to take care of a lot of mundane, behind the scenes business right now, creating an effective work/life balance, it's by focusing on what you're trying to achieve, that you'll stay on track. It's your heart and its romantic needs, along with a need for romantic expression, that needs to be the ultimate goal you're chasing. So long as you have your eye on the prize, you're able to put in the work and effort to achieve it. 5) The Moon and Jupiter align in your sign today, as they do every month. This is the last time they'll meet up before the other planets arrive, giving you one last chance to align yourself with the most appropriate targets. Listen to your instincts and the voice that's coming from your spirit, with subtle signs showing you what's important and what isn't. This is one of the last chances you'll have to change your mind or change your focus. Have fun.

I followed an astronomy thread on the old bad astronomy board where the poster claimed to have done an extensive horoscope on Al Capon finding that the traits based on Capone’s date and time of birth matched him perfectly, including a high propensity for violence. The only problem was that he got the date and time of birth wrong. The new chart he produced showed significantly reduced tendencies for violence. Nevertheless there was a sufficient tendency for the poster to still claim that the chart adequately predicted a life of violent crime. As the poor sod born under that other chart, he must have been so violent he was soon killed and thus never gained notoriety.
Lion King can you answer this? Why is it that my sun sign is Gemini, but the dates for Gemini do not coincide with the time that the sun is actually in Gemini? Doesn’t this make the predictions less than accurate?
Let’s just say that I think very little of astrology and its believers and very poorly of astrologers.

Phantom, none of them fit perfectly, but number two is closer to the truth.
echnaton, I am not an expert on these so I can't answer your question. However, I have a book for astrology. The politiccla preictions fitted very much this year and the previous year, but not the personal predictions, which were less accurate.
The predictions of the monthes sometimes are true and sometimes are not.
As for my question in the first post, I hope some members respond to it as how much do they think it applied for them.

Oh wait a minute. I am counting on yesterday. Is this for today or yesterday, as I barely started the day of 26 September.

If that was for me, they were for the 26th here. I'll let you know the right one once you have confirmed two as your final answer.

Hi Phantom I was waiting for Brammertz report yesterday in the Hariri probe, and was disappointed bcz it didn't say much yet, and didn't name anyone to enter prison. So, the "Avoid over thinking a situation, trusting your instincts " may fit in some way, but not till the end. I hope you put the Virgo one for yesterday or today from the site you braught, let me see if it fits completely or stuff.

Okay here's today's (the 27th here) batch. See if any fit better. 1) Allow things to find their own level and fall into perspective at its own pace. While you may think you have a clear sense of the way things should be, until you're 100 per cent sure, let life surprise you. As your priorities change and new opportunities start to reveal themselves, you're set to learn that what you were seeing was just a small glimpse of what can be. Wait for the big picture to reveal itself, before pushing anything. 2) Focus more on exploring your options and considering the possibilities, than seeing them through. You've got to be willing to embrace new frontiers, as you kick and claw your way loose from your comfort zone. The more options you can identify, the more willing you are to seize an opportunity when it presents. You're a sign born and bred for adventure and if life has become a little too tame of late, it's up to you to spice it up. 3) Focus on getting the dynamics within your friendships and working relationships running smoothly, without being a yes man or accepting peace at all costs. This isn't a time to compromise your own needs or rights, but it is a time for collaboration and communication. You can agree to disagree, with a need for different skills, talents and personalities to add to the pool. Work at keeping your individuality while working as a team. 4) Saturn, normally a planet that sticks close to the rules, is confident enough to push for bold new moves, especially when it comes to a house, family or property choice. This is all about saying yes to your needs and being aware of just how important your lifestyle choices are. You're not able to be all that you're capable of being if you don't have the home and family life to support that. Acknowledge what you need and make it happen. 5) Your relationship sector, the area where you've had the most challenges, is now coming in for a lot of support. There is a hint of change in the air, that is just as likely to bring a U turn or a change of mind, as it is to bring a desire to move out in bold new directions. When it comes to your personal relationships there is no right or wrong or no script that you should be following. Every step of the way, you've got to trust your own judgement.

Having met with the accreditation man and the responsible person for our upcoming practicum in the hospital, and her having said she will find us a place in the hospital and call us, I think that (2) applies best.I was asked about options and where would I like to work more. So, this was for what sign?

I have to admit I don't totally recall the other ones I used, basically selected them at random. The Virgo ones were 2 & 1, so you got 1 out of 2 (I think that 2 of the second group was for Sagitarius.)
Obviously this isn't a very good test, and 2 results mean nothing either way. A far better test is to do it for about three weeks and calibrate the results at the end, seeing if you have more that about 6-7 right in total (around the top mark for "guessing".) However I'm not sure you would be interested in doing that.
