6 – Do you believe in astrological predictions?

I believe that people make them and that they exist.

Some of them, I would go so far as to say, are trustworthy, offering that long sought peek into the future. Others are not. By what wisdom ought we to tell them apart. Might one be wise in finding solace in a pleasing fiction.

I believe in them because others do. Sometimes beliefs create something in the world that wasn't there before. Beliefs change the world so we ought to take them seriously. The less serious they seem to the outsider, the more dangerous they can be.
