Hi rhross, my comment to Issy was serious. Of the 12 star signs, the most likely not to believe in Astrology is Taurus and among Christians the most likely not to believe are Catholics. Come on Issy fess up.

Paul,

You well know that I'm Catholic and as for my star sign or whatever I haven't got a clue'

Issy, you astound me at times with your broad knowledge on different subjects. Just out of interest, where did you get that Astrology insight from, and why? Most take no more that a casual, non serious, interest in "the stars".

Alchemy is my forte, I've been trying to turn worthless iron into gold for years without success! All I've managed to do in 30 years of trying is produce a half a ton of useless platinum and a couple of kilos of bloody diamonds. I'll get it right one day. ha ha

Paul,

It's a rough life!!

Ion Idriess tells in one of his books about gold miners who were working a creek in Queensland and annoying grey stuff that was heavier than gold had to be picked out of their pans by hand; they threw it away.

The small field played out and a few years later one of the miners read about platinum, went back and cleaned up a small fortune.

@Paul1405,

Real astrology does not have a concept of which Sun Sign might believe or not believe. It is vastly more complex than that. Ditto for religion. But yes, having been very involved with Catholics in the past I know such things frighten them as indeed they frighten most fundamentalist Christians.

@Paul1405,

Alchemy is a serious interest of mine but, I believe, like religious teachings, it is meant as metaphor. Its application in Jungian psychology is fascinating.
