How Many Friends Have You Lost

Agree.

Therefore, none.

Great question, Z!

seriously.
all it really takes to win others to astrology is merc retro.
point it out and offer preventative measures.
next thing you know, people are asking questions and suddenly you have a captive audience.
seal the deal by prognosticating VOC moon (nothing will come of it" and New Moon fresh beginnings.
Soon, they are eating, sleeping and drinking Astrology.
Gotta love a pliable mind.
Anyone who poo poos my Astro offerings doesn't get it again.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it....

That's kinda scary, Mae. Are you looking for a reaction?

what's scary about it, KD? people important in my life understand that astro is a huge part of who i am. if they want to mock or ridicule something that's important to me, why should they be my friend?

I agree with you completely. A couple of mentions of Mercury Retro and before you know it, questions start popping up about Astrology.... "was that that Mercury thingy?" I had a "non" believer watching the clock with me, incase we needed to create a distraction to get more time, so the speaker we were working with would have Jupiter as the Lord of the Hour on a fundraiser. Then the money poured in. Point out a few examples and friends do become curious, even if their is scoffing in the beginning.
