so, i know that there are people here who are familiar with zodiac signs. but someone mentioned earlier that it was all fake and something created to "con idiots into doing things". i don't know how true that is.
does anyone else know much about that?
it's a pretty important part of where i come from but i hear from other people that the zodiac is more of a joke?

That does not make things a joke to us. Only to those who are not touched by them as we are.
no subject
no, it doesn't. it's just strange.

Have you met someone specifically with whom you argued, or is this a general impression?

Depends from where it comes, I guess?
Magazines and newspapers can sometimes blow it out of proportions just for fame, you know?
That's why most people don't believe in it.
But there are some people/things that can predict horoscope with crazy accuracy.
You just need to find those

i suppose, i think it's a bit strange how the idea of it seems to stay the same across a lot more worlds, but everyone looks at it differently? i don't understand what it is people don't believe in, unless it's more the fortune telling side of it.
then maybe. i don't really get that side of it either, it's not my thing.
do you know anyone who can do that here?
no subject
I didn't really follow it before, but my friend does, very religiously. You'll have to ask him. I think he follows a radio/tv program here?
Back home it was called "Oha Asa", I can't remember what the name of it here. Not as accurate, but close
no subject
I will see if i can find it. it would be nice to get a different point of view on these things.
radio and tv are still so strange. were they normal things in your world?

the chinese zodiac have powers?
no subject
It's not so much that the zodiac itself has powers; rather, the powers come in the form of a set of talismans modeled thereon. Dragon talisman, sheep talisman, and so on. For having been created by the most pestiferous demon ever to slither the earth, they're a remarkably good time.
no subject
if a demon made them does that mean those talismans are bad? or do they depend on who is using them?
no subject
It's a fair question, but personally, I lean toward the side of "it depends on the user". I myself have had some particularly positive experiences using the talismans, but my enemies have proven just as capable of stealing them and harnessing their powers for themselves.
no subject
that makes sense. seems a lot of things are like that. not sure if it's more confusing or not when items don't have a side, it's hard to tell what they'd be capable of if it's uncertain.
no subject
In my experience, most magical artifacts don't tend to have much of a preference who wields them, but when they do, they won't be shy about letting one know. I hope you've never had the pleasure of sharing your body with a being of evil whilst trying to handle a box composed of good magic. The two don't mix.
