But humans are all of the same basic make-up, fundamentally. They're all born with the same feeling sentience, breathing the same air, and bleeding the same red blood, they all have the same needs and desires. Human emotions are real, like emotions of joy, sorrow, and anger, pleasure, pain, and forgiveness, loyalty, empathy, compassion, hate,and jealousy.

Humans are all capable of feeling all these things, and they are real, or seem real, because they are each and all of our experience.

Why is it 'wonderful'? Tom Cruise is a cancer. What about him speaks 'cancer' to you? His scientology? His general air of hyperactive insanity?

I'm more interested about the influence we have on each other according to our zodiac signs. The way we express our true emotions and how they effect others. Why are people more naturally drawn to certain people and are repelled by others, sort of thing.

Why would the answer to those questions have anything to do with the positions of the stars and planets at the time of someone's birth?

Because it's just another man-made story made up by us humans, as part of their human experience, and how we use story telling to connect and relate to each other.
