Tachyons' job. It had been taken to frontpage to get enough votes to appear on the frontpage. If you can see that from the out-of-time perspective, it makes sense.
What do you mean by "permutation-dependent"? I'm curious, because I write an article about permutations and I'd be happy to introduce some astrology :)
What I mean is - there are 9 "planets", aka bodies. Each has a specific orbit. Astrology isn't "sun was in that sign on that day", that's like saying programming is C#.
Your sign depends on the each of the planet's position towards the earth sky and towards each other. So two people born on the same day in different years will have vastly different horoscopes.
That was A great READ, if you’re into astrology and 90s web design, https://freewillastrology.com/ , it’s totally whatever but the readings each Tuesday almost always come with a history lesson so it’s fun educational nonsense.
There's something that's been nagging me about horoscopes and the like. The periods they define are fixed in respect to the Gregorian calendar, which is arbitrary and doesn't capture the actual cycles of planets and stars. Isn't the significance of those natural planetary cycles part of the premise of astrology. How do astrologues justify that?
> The periods they define are fixed in respect to the Gregorian calendar
No, they aren't. There's actually two different kinds of systems used for Western astrology, neither one of which is strictly fixed to the Gregorian calendar; one fixed to the vernal equinox and the other fixed to the positions of the fixed stars (there are many variations on the latter.)
Because the Gregorian calendar (and the same is true of any regular solar calendar) has very little variation in regard to the vernal equinox, in that system dates fixed to the Gregorian calendar are approximately correct and are common in casual use with regard to the most common astrological period referenced, the zodiac signs.
Our calendar months do not coincide precisely with the actual celestial month. We are out of sync by a little bit of time (hence, Leap Year). This means that the Sun moves into a new zodiac sign approximately every month, anywhere between 19th and the 23rd of our month. That group of days is called a cusp, meaning the span of days in which the Sun may change sign. However, being born during those days does not automatically mean that you have two Sun signs. That is a common misconception. Birth charts are calculated using astronomical ephemerides that track the exact time of a Sun sign change for every year. If you were born between the 19th and 23rd of any month, you must check an ephemeris to see exactly where the Sun was at the time of your birth.

I saw some hitting the front page with much fewer votes than others. What's the mechanics in play here?
2+2 => You are a pair number.
Astrology is much more detailed and permutation-dependant than this.

Unfortunately, the page for my sign shows a triple torus, which is not the same thing.
