I love finding quirky little articles that \u201cdebunk\u201d astrology and posting them here. Like this one:<\/span><\/p>\n

Think there\u2019s no harm in astrology? Click around and you\u2019ll find cases such as that of Myanmar\u2019s former prime minister, General Ne Win, who decided to issue the nation\u2019s currency in denominations of 45 and 90 and other multiples of nine, a number his astrologer said was his lucky number. The move immediately made citizens poorer since all other once-valid forms of currency were now worthless.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This comes from an article<\/a> about a new website that evidently debunks just about everything, including veganism.<\/p>\n

My brilliant readers know that astrology has nothing to do with lucky numbers, and this is just the kind of misconception that causes the kind of disrespect that astrologers have had over the centuries. There are more intelligent skeptics out there, but lumping so-called astrology in with veganism and calling them both irrational beliefs is more hilarious than insulting!<\/p>\n
