The fact that people legitimately believe in astrology is insane. Especially given that:

"Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the equinox and solstice points have each moved westward about 30 degrees in the last 2,000 years. Thus, the zodiacal constellations named in ancient times no longer correspond to the segments of the zodiac represented by their signs.

In short, had you been born at the same time on the same day of the year 2,000 years ago, you would have been born under a different sign."
