h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

MaggyW - I chose cashlessness because the first entry I put up was about the idea of a cashless society - on 360 where you are a lofty italic.

Mind you, it describes how I am at the moment, although I can say from past experience it is better to have raked it in and splurged it all than never to have raked it in at all....[wistfully recalls past wads of crispy notes]

I don't think anyone's likely to get trampled to death in the rush to meet Geoff's challenge... As far as I can see, there are only two professional astrologers and me, a trainee, on this discussion list so those are the only ones who could take up the challenge.

I've done so because it's good practice for me (I'm moving house this week so nothing's going to get done my end until that's safely achieved!)

The two profs don't need to prove themselves - they're doing astrology for people who are happy to believe it and its probably their profession. I certainly wouldn't want to knock up a website for someone in my spare time just because they didn't believe that I did it at work.

I'll do a good chart (as far as my experience goes) for Geoff but, if he wants to disbelieve it, he can do so very easily ... it's up to him.

Incidentally, according to scientific research a bumblebee can't fly. It's aerodynamically too heavy. Fortunately, no one's told the bumblebee...

I'm a horserider and I rode a new horse once and took it over a course of jumps with no problem. Later that day I was told that horse won't jump. I've never been able to get it to jump again.

Maybe astrology's the same as those two answers. It can't work unless you believe it can. That's a thought! But, as AstroLion said, that's going into the field of metaphysics.

I read somewhere that it's now understood how a bumble bee can fly, although I stand to be corrected.

I will do my very best to be objective with any charts produced.

So while it might be easy for me to disbelieve what's provided, I will not be taking the easy option simply because it's easy. I know that work goes into these charts, and I'm not going to so disrespectful as to dismiss them without a fair hearing. The Challenge works both ways.

Science isn't perfect. No one said it was. But in most cases I can easily see if what science tells me fits with my experiments conducted in the real world.

But I know about how the gravitational force falls off as distance^2, and when the distance is several million kilometers, I can't help think that the force is small.
I am interested in the energy thing too; can anyone suggest a website I can read more specific details on it?

I was born on March 13th 1981 at 18:13, in South Manchester, UK.
If you like, you can email a short rundown of my personality & appearance to my boyfriend (U169062) and he can tell you if he thinks its right without me going, 'that's rubbish' in the background.

I think my moon sign is Gemini, from a cursory glance at the sky on my birth date in one of the programs we have in the astrolab (although I'm likely wrong on that) Goodness only knows what my ascendancy is but I daresay someone can let me know on that, too.

Take care,

Your moon is in Cancer (feelings run deep, especially with family ties). Ascendant is Virgo (Your shyness is a screen to keep others from discovering your intense needs to be perfect in all details of your work). You have to find the R.A. of the moon to work out what sign it's in and as the First point of Aries has been moving through Pisces for the last 2000 years the sign of Cancer is now in Gemini.
I am conducting a poll of researchers sun signs at A712595.

Thank you for letting me know, Aljiis.

I don't think I'm shy, but I'm definitely a perfectionist...
