Answer 2

Many would consider Astrology to be nothing but a complex system of superstitious and otherwise unbsubstantiated beliefs regarding the positions of celestial bodies at the time of one's birth. In fairness, many intelligent and well-educated people are conviced that astrology is accurate and meaningful. I don't know if there is actual objective evidence supporting or refuting the claims of astrology.

Answer 3

These are all English superstitions: If the cows sit down it's going to rain - i can feel the rain coming by my bones aching - red sky at sunset means it will be a fine day - red sky at sunrise means it will rain - "rain before seven, fine before eleven"

Answer 4

Walking under a ladder, Friday the 13th and a Black cat crossing your path are all superstitious examples of something unlucky. The number 7, buying heather from a Gypsy and finding a four leaf clover are examples of luck.
