Don't know where you get your info 08. There is no science in your response of the tides.
What! Care to repeat that, no science involved with the tides? Your right there is no science involved with the planets or their movements.
Your comments are based on old wives’ tales. Just because our bodies contain water, doesn't mean we have tidal effects.
I never said they did as a matter of fact only that we've all heard or said things like "it must be a full moon, etc..
Thankfully we don't as that would likely result in severe physical distress.
Agreed!
As someone who has worked in the field of psychology for 28 years, I can definitively tell you that the tidal pull of the moon has no effect on human emotions or thinking. Forget for a moment the fact that our bodies are self-regulatory systems that require at least 2 g's before we start to notice any effect (many times the g-force effect exerted by the moon - which technically is a moon not a planet), but there have been actual studies done to show that the moon does not make people crazy or dangerous. These studies examined admissions to hospitals and ERs. They also looked at the frequency of crimes , violence, and accidents. Guess what.....absolutely no correlation to the tides and the gravitational effect of the moon or even to the phases of the moon.
Really, so when I'm in the seat of my Ford Cobra and I'm at the track pulling 1g on the skid pad I don't even feel it? I beg to differ.
As for astrology in general, about the only argument for it affecting people would be if someone was so convinced that astrology was real that they put themselves in a semi-delusional state, causing them to change their behaviors based on their beliefs. Show me data or even a semi-plausible theory using actual physics to explain how the placement of planets on the date of your birth continues to affect you throughout your life, and I will consider it.
I wonder what sign your under? LOL Perhaps a quote for some respected person might have some influence on you. I doubt it but here goes:
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.
Carl Jung
Or perhaps this: A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician.
Hippocrates
And just for the record, every major police agency the FBI and CIA all study Astrology to help narrow down the list of possible suspects. Sure it's a bunch of bunk that the news papers put out but if you look deeper into it you'll find that a few minds even greater than yours find enough in Astrology to take a harder look.
By the way if any of you are born under the sign of Aries you are more likely to have bad headaches then those born under other signs. But you didn't hear that from me.
