"The Greeks for instance showed that there was a relationship between the diatonic scale and the number of planets in our solar system."

How can that relationship have been accurate, since the Greeks did not know the number of planets in our solar system (and there is disagreement today about the correct number)?

There are at least 9 planets in our solar system and only 8 notes in the diatonic scale.

What's the relation? What proof is there that if there is a relation, it's not casual?

Pluto's not a planet. It's a SubPlanet, also known as an Imbecile Planet.

I read something recently about a Tenth planet, beyond pluto. And perhaps more planets are lurking about in the darkness awaiting discoverey by better and more accurate insturments or procedures.

Excuse my mis-step, I meant there was a relationship between the diatonic scale and the distance of the planets. I've been half asleep today. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] There should be tons of info on the web about this.

Great post.

When people ask my star sign I always give them the wrong one. It's amusing to watch them make total fools of themselves analyzing my 'Leo' personality (I'm actually a libra - we're known to be tricky [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ).

First I've heard of him. I googled to see what he's about. Sounds like a fun read but probably over my head. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

To make it even more clear, if I had to choose between my son being an astrology believer all his life or a heroin addict all his life, I would choose the latter. (Anticipating your next question I would choose Catholicism over heroin for him, but not Born Again Christianity).

Astrology is bad but not that bad, I would rather have a son who was a Astrology believer than a heroin addict, as for Catholics.......well heroin is bad but not that bad.

"To show how strongly I feel about this subject I will say that I would never marry someone who fully believed in astrology regardless of the evidence."


"If evidence proved that astrology was correct, you still wouldn't marry someone? That seems a bit silly."

In case you are not joking, I meant that they believed in astrology regardless of the evidence aginst astrology.
