If skeptics created a calendar of horoscopes. .

My ex-wife used to check her horoscope every morning in the ADN before she would do anything.

It assigned a ratio between one to five stars indicating the kind of day she should expect.

My wife would often make clothing choices, change appointments, and decide what kind of mood she would in be based solely on that imaginary criteria.

For the most part I did not bother to point out the ignorance of basing life decisions on the appearance of stars billions of light years away, or let her in on the fact that many of those points of light are from stars that have burnt out millions if not billions of years ago. It would not have done much good anyway.

You really cannot chip away at a person's superstitions if they have decided that they are an important part of how they perceive the world.

I know, I've tried.
