I won't be participating but I love Resto Vego, I remember when it was the vegetarian restaurant chain Commensal in the 90s. Great place and fun to buy my meal by the kilograms...

Je crois que la chimie qui se passe dans nos cerveaux à 0Km de nous a plus d'influence sur ton quotidien que Mercure qui est entre 77.3 millions de kilomètres et 222 millions de kilomètres selon le moment de l'année.
À méditer...

u/8SOR Jul 10 '25
La Lune influence les marées, tu crois pas qu'elle pourrait nous influencer nous? Qu'est-ce qui te tiens en dehors de tout influence externe de l'Univers? On est tellement petits, ce serait surprenant qu'on ne soit pas affectés par l'immensité de l'énergie qui circule dans le cosmos. Ce n'est pas de renier la science, mais l'utiliser pour mieux expliquer les phénomènes astrologiques.
Science et spiritualité sont bien plus compatibles qu'on nous laisse croire.

u/philthewiz Jul 10 '25
La lune est en moyenne à 384 400Km de nous et a en effet une incidence majeure sur nous et la terre.
Est-ce que Mercure qui est 577 fois plus loins à un incidence directe et vérifiable sur tes choix de vies?
Et je suis généreux. Mercure n'est pas la plus loins dans le système solaire.
Et combine ça avec les autres astres. Ça vient difficile à prouver.
Et explique moi pourquoi mes anciens collègues de classe qui sont nés dans le même mois que moi avait des expériences différentes de vie?
Sincèrement, c'est juste un moyen d'expliquer des choses complexes de façon ésotérique.

u/8SOR Jul 10 '25
C'est pas le mois , c'est le moment précis où tu est né, à l'endroit précis où tu te trouvais. À ce moment et en ce lieu, les astres forment un alignement précis qui est unique à chaque individu.
Dans l'astrologie pure, quand on se retire des charlatans (il y en a beaucoup, je l'accorde, c'est pourquoi je tente d'expliquer ma croyance) il n'est pas question de ''destinée'' ou d'horoscope comme on voit chez les ésotérique. C'est une vraie science qui selon moi mériterait d'être jummelée avec l'astronomie, comme un couple symbiotique où l'un va mal sans l'autre, et vice-versa
Merci de ne pas avoir sauté aux insultes, c'est rafraichissant dans ce bas monde de colériques

"une vraie science".................. Ok...

u/8SOR Jul 10 '25
je demande pas d'y croire, plutôt de ne pas la réduire en une poigné de charlatans qui font du bruits dans les magazines woo-woo

u/philthewiz Jul 10 '25
Je comprends ton point. Ça reste que c'est tellement minime comme influence des astres au niveau de la gravité et des champs magnétiques que c'est impossible à prouver que c'est un facteur sur notre petite personne humaine.
Seul le Soleil et la Lune peuvent influencer concrètement la terre cycliquement.
Aucune planète a une influence sur notre champs magnétique, même pas Jupiter.
Et l'influence gravitationnelle des autre planètes est presque qu'inexistante sur la terre.
"On peut comparer les forces de marées dues aux différentes planètes sur la Terre aux forces de marées dues à la Lune. On obtient, par ordre décroissant (pour les distances minimales des planètes) :
Lune : 1 (pris comme unité) ; Soleil : 0,4 ; Vénus : 0,000 05 ; Jupiter : 0,000 006 ; Mars : 0,000 002..."

Dans l'astrologie pure, quand on se retire des charlatans
Il reste rien alors...
C'est une vraie science
Je pense que tu ne comprends pas c'est quoi la science.

u/Spots_Woods Jul 11 '25
un camion de 10 T a coté de toi t’influence plus que la lune (par force gravitationnelle).
Science et spiritualité peuvent coexister, mais ne doivent pas être confondu.
L’un est basé sur des faits mesurables, l’autre sur ton ressenti personnel.
L’astrologie n’est pas une science.

Astrology should be treated like the scam it is

u/MortyMcMorston Jul 10 '25
Who cares. Just let people be happy. There are worst things out there

u/thebluewalker87 🐿️ Écureuil Jul 10 '25
The lack of critical thinking of those who believe in astrology often flows onto other things, ex. antivaxxers, superstition, voting for idiots, etc.
This is an insult to rational thinking.

u/Aoae Jul 10 '25
For those curious, check out the wellness to conspiracy theory pipeline. Both prey on and validate people with a distrust for scientific and social institutions.

u/No_Calligrapher6912 Jul 10 '25
It's a scam that preys on people.

u/MortyMcMorston Jul 10 '25
Yes it is. But most of the people who do the activity don't take it seriously. For them it's just a fun hobby that allows them to socialize.
There are MUCH worse scams out there

u/No_Calligrapher6912 Jul 10 '25
There are MUCH worse scams out there
So what? We should let the astrology scam slide because there are other worse scams?
I guess we should let physical assaults slide too because after all, murder is worse?
Go away.

Astrologers scam people into paying for "readings" that are completely pseudo scientific nonsense.
-1
u/Halfjack12 Jul 10 '25
Astrologers charge people who want a reading, in what way is someone paying for a service that they want a scam? You might have a point if astrologers pretended to be something they aren't, or if they misrepresented their services, or if they sought out people and manipulated them into buying services they wouldn't have otherwise.

u/No_Calligrapher6912 Jul 10 '25
astrologers pretended to be something they aren't,
They do. The whole enterprise of astrology is completely bullshit. The positions of the stars has in no way at all any tangible effect on our day to day lives.
-3
u/Halfjack12 Jul 10 '25
Actually, most astrologers are typically concerned with just one star. It's mostly about the planets, constellations,moon phases, and Hellenistic deities. It seems like you don't know a lot about astrology, have you cobsidered that might be why you are so mad about it?

u/GreatLaminator Jul 10 '25
"They are typically concerned with just one star"
"It's mostly about ... constellations..."
Eh? Are we playing semantics between stars and group of stars to prove a point?

u/No_Calligrapher6912 Jul 10 '25
Lol, I'm not mad about it. It's just a scam, and should be regarded as such.
I have more than enough scientific education to know that I don't need to know any more about astrology to confidently say it's all bullshit.
-1
u/Halfjack12 Jul 10 '25
What do you know about it?
2
u/No_Calligrapher6912 Jul 10 '25
I don't need to be an expert on leprechauns to know leprechauns aren't real. I don't need to be an expert on alchemy to know alchemy is bullshit, and similarly - I don't need to be an expert on astrology to know that the influence of planets, a star or stars, Hellenistic deities (lol) have absolutely no tangible effect on anyone's life at all.
It's pseudo scientific nonsense that anyone in 2025 should be ashamed to believe.

Uranus in Gemini begs to differ 👻
But seriously no one who has actually studied astrology would say that so im not sure how valuable a ln opinion from ignorance is.

lol a club devoted to nonsense

u/8SOR Jul 10 '25
So, the influence of cosmic entities emmiting electromagnetic waves and exercising their gravity on us, and thus influencing our behavior, makes less sense to you than the precise chaos that led to this exact moment ?

u/VinylHighway Jul 10 '25
The doctor that delivered you had more of a gravitational effect on you than the moon

Tell me you're scientifically illiterate without telling me

u/8SOR Jul 10 '25
that's the funny thing, I do love science, I just don't think it's incompatible with spirituality.. A little faith dosen't hurt, too much of it does, and so does none of it.

u/VinylHighway Jul 10 '25
What scientific basis do you have for astrology being remotely real? Are you familiar with Carl Sagan? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I'd be down to show up, give it a shot.

Hey I'd be possibly interested! What day? Do you have an fb group or anything I could follow?

Hi! Just to let you know that I recently created a fb page where I'll be posting future meetups.

It's on July 20th. We used to be on Meetup for several years, but due to their exorbitant price increases, we decided to pull out. Unfortunately, there's nothing set up for now for people to follow. Let me know if you're able to join us, as we need to reserve the space.

I’m sorry. July 20th is bad day to meet when the planets are in the positions they are.
