Most Astrologers have the sense to backup comments they make but it seems that the guy that Jools Holland spoke to on his show (on BBC 1) has not been doing his research. Firstly the "fact", as he described it, that the celestial body known as Sedna is a planet is incorrect. It is an object from the Oort cloud. I bet you would be hard pressed to find even the most enthusiastic of astronomers who would classify it as a planet. Oh and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) hasn't classified it as a planet therefore it is not a planet.
It might be obvious to people that I think Astrology is at the best bollocks. I hold nothing against people who think that it works and those who actually try to figure it out. Hang on a minute. Does Astrology make sense? Easy answer - no! There is no way the actions of Jupiter will effect our individual lives. Yes its gravitational pull has some effect on us but in comparison to the Earth, Moon and the Sun this is insignificant. Now Jupiter is the largest body (apart from the Sun) in the solar system and since this has hardly any effect then do the other planets? Umm no. Oh and don't even get me started on the fact that if one of these objects is contained within some man made star pattern then it matters more than in another man made star pattern. Oh I think it should be pointed out to Astrologers that they need to update their calendar. Due to precision the constellations have now "shifted" in position and so those born in January are no longer born under the capricorn constellation.
Finally the bloke on Jools Holland said that Sedna would reduce resentment this year. Umm how can we even measure that! Also how does he propose that this does this? Its gravity wont affect us. What will? Maybe he can submit a paper to Astrophysical Journal (ApJ) on this new type of physical process. Maybe this reduction in resentment is due to transfers by the anti-resentment particle. Oh and this has a mass approximately equal to bull crap!
Rant over. Happy New Year!
