Because everything that happens in movies is real... I for one am a huge proponent of Ray Kurzweil's theories on the singularity.

Here's my guess as to why 2012 will have a large impact on humanity:
1) Astrological changes lead to slight gravitational changes in our solar system. 2) Our thoughts have mass. 3) Our thought processes will be significantly affected by this change in gravity. But, since this change will be distributed to everything contained in our solar system ('system' being the key word), we will be largely unaware of this shift due to relative, observable stability. 4) Slow revolution of human consciousness begins (though I think it would be more accurate to say this change has already been occurring).

I don't have a great sarcasm detector... are you serious or just trolling?

Did your horoscope tell you that you would come into a lot of money or something? Honestly... it's utter hogwash! Nothing more than pompous pseudoscience. There is nothing that astrology explains that astronomy, a proper scientific field, cannot explain with greater clarity and precision, minus all the supernatural drippings. Astrologist, yup that's what i mean, the science/study of stars.
Astrology is not what you mean. Astrology is all about crap like horoscopes and predicting effects on the earth caused by the orientation of the stars and the constellations and blah blah blah. As in, 'you are especially fertile on the 3rd tuesday of february because the constellation of orion intersects perpendicularly with your ball sac' ... etc. Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial bodies, you know... with telescopes, and math, and all those fancy supercomputers. Astrologists on the other hand have crystal balls, tarot cards and jackasses who claim to have 'psychic' powers.

When you spend enough time looking at the sky, even without a telescope if you aren't presently distracted by all the high tech shit in Western society (live for a few decades in a 3rd world country where there are no city lights clouding the sky), you'll see things a different way. Mayans, Egyptians, and Sumerians got pretty goddamn accurate with their "astrology" if you ask me. It's like if I were to say I can't see with my ears. Ask a blind person.

Please feel free to enlighten us, and try to refrain from analogies like "seeing with your ears". And don't bring older cultures into it, back in that time period astrology and astronomy were linked and almost interchangeable in their usage. At the end of the 17th century, new scientific concepts in astronomy (such as heliocentrism) began to damage the credibility of astrology, which subsequently lost its academic and theoretical standing. Astrology saw a popular revival in the 19th and 20th centuries as part of a general revival of spiritualism and later New Age philosophy, and through the influence of mass media such as newspaper horoscopes.[3]
While astrology may bear a superficial resemblance to science, it is a pseudoscience because it makes little attempt to develop solutions to its problems, shows no concern for the evaluation of competing theories, and is selective in considering confirmations and dis-confirmations That's not astronomy. It's astrology, astronomy is science and astrology is voodoo.
I'd bet money astrology isn't bogus. And, I'd bet a lot of it. Also, how do you plan to win a bet proving astrology isn't bogus when astrology itself is a belief system, and can't really be disproven or proven (like religion).
