Clocks, Seasons, and Cycles

Why should you follow astrology? How can peopleThe art of astrology is a bit scientific observation and
believe that the planet Neptune is affecting our choicesa bit psychic premonition. Of all the events that could

then why can't they prove it? What benefit is there inpeople?I think of each planet as a different clock in the
knowing about horoscopes and where the planets areheavens. Each one has its own pace and it's own

vague concepts that don't mean anything to anyone,completely different seasons and completely different

particles within our individual aura fields, thus causingareas. Astrology is taking all of the other planets'
psychoelectron pulses to begin effecting the synapsesseasons and cycles into account too. Imagine a giant
