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?

Well, it is possible that the stars and constellations might not have as much of an influence as they do in our world. But if somehow legends of ours reached other worlds, and people expected the constellations to have power but discovered they did not, people would disparage such talk, I think.

That does not make things a joke to us. Only to those who are not touched by them as we are.

People don't always know as much as we do, A-Yu, and in their worlds, that may be all it is. I know that it may be upsetting, because some of the things are obvious to us, but people can only know what they could learn.

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