Pretty sure you're a Taurus. Tauruses do not believe in astrology. Source: I'm also a Tauraus
- That kind?
- A Ford Taurus?
  
  We have Ford Taurus at home
- Astrology is the belief that the positions of the stars have some significance for you.
  
  The picture is talking about our local planets, which is even dumber.
  
  In the astrological sense, planets are stars, too. The relative position of the planets is important.
  
  Yeah but, Mars is awfully bright tonight. Explain that!
  
  Those who are educated amongst us know this is a clear sign that Voldemort is on the rise. To each their own, though. Go ahead and just be unprepared for the Dark Lord's reprisal.
Well, I mean you can probably blame Earth for a lot of issues; although I suppose it's the population and not the planet itself.
- I think we can blame the planet for being born. 😤
I will blame Visual Studio for anything and everything thank you very much
- Why is your username purple? Are you an admin of instace or community or anything?
  
  I am Voyager app developer!
Mercury is like totally in Gatorade right now
Where is Pluto?
- What about Ceres, Quaoar, Makmake and Haumea? What about Sedna, Eris and gonggong? How could anyone forget about gonggong?
  
  Those were never labeled planets. Pluto was. Arbitrary classification changed to keep Earth's label important. Wierdly earth centric decision.

in the moment of my birth, Barnum's effect was in retrograde
Who. It's who. Nominative, not objective. Compare and contrast:

He, who smelt it, dealt it

Him, whom the letter is for, sent to it was.

See? Easy: Only ever use "whom" when speaking like Yoda.
- I was being facetious.
Spicy syzygy
“'This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,

when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit

of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our

disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as

if we were villains on necessity; fools by

heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and

treachers by spherical pre-dominance; drunkards,

liars, and adulterers by an enforc'd obedience of

planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,

by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion

of whore-master man, to lay his goatish

disposition to the charge of a star! My

father compounded with my mother under the

Dragon's Tail, and my nativity was under Ursa

Major, so that it follows I am rough and

lecherous. Fut! I should have been that I am,

had the maidenliest star in the firmament

twinkled on my bastardizing.”

So the pull of the full moon affects the tides and we're mostly water. What if the planets affect our health and not our moods in very subtle ways. I doubt it, but it's a thought.
- The tides are not an indicator for the health of a body of water. They just move it back and forth.
  
  My hypothesis: the planets affect which nostril you can breathe through this night.
  
  The tides are not an indicator for the health of a body of water. They just move it back and forth.
  
  I didn't say it was indicator, I wondered if it affected us in ways. Having your insides move around with the tides might do subtle things. Then again, it might not.
