Everybody has and astrological sign. Mine for example is Scorpio and everything that they say about those that are scorpios actually are right, or at least most of it.
Sometimes i wonder if i should believe in this stuff.
Do you believe in it? What is your sign and does it relate to you?

Yes, certainly! And I also beleive in chemisty, maths, biology, history and so on)
And you? Or, maybe, you don`t belive in maths - you can count but you don`t beleive in it?) Or you see hair, hands and etr but don`t beleive in anatomy?
Astrology is a sience - very hard sience. It takes much time and efforts... Well. Read several books and you`ll agree with me!

First of all, astrology is about philosophy. It is a discipline that explains the world around us. And like any major philosophy, it attempts to solve problems. (We can appreciate this more if we observe how the Chinese practice astrology rather than the more familiar Western zodiac.)
Frankly, the people behind the development of astrology are not as illogical and unscientific as their critics portray them. Quite the opposite, people using astronomical calculations and trying to associate meanings to certain planetary patterns are a meticulous bunch. They use symbols and concepts consistently. They use a well-developed language. And they use statistical analysis and reasoning.
Anyway, in my opinion, arguing against astrology should not be done as a denial of its existence or its achievements. There are a lot of philosophical beliefs that are quite workable even with flaws. Why? Because they work and more importantly, they solve problems.
P.S. Sun sign horoscope published in newspapers is not the kind of astrology that professionals or dedicated astrologers practice.

While Astrology cannot be proven, I think those who aren't educated on the matter shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. It is more complex than simply the 12 sun signs, if one did their research they would know that the sun sign is just a small part of one's entire chart.
I'm a Virgo and I do fit the description to a tee. Am a perfectionist, a bit of a health freak, and so forth, but those aren't my only traits. you have to look at the whole natal chart, some of it is too accurate to be mere coincidence.
