The thing about astrology enthusiasts is that they come in so many varieties. There are, for instance, the cruchy granola astrologists, who really believe in the influence of astrological bodies on human emotions and events, and do a great deal of study on the subject so as not to be mislead by shoddy astrological forecasts. And in contrast, there are the lotto astrologists, who read the forecasts whenever it's convenient, enjoy it when events match up with the forecasts, and laugh at themselves when they don't match.
Are these fundamentally different ways of looking at astrology, or are they just different degrees of the same sort of fascination? Me, personally, I'm not sure.
