Nonsense

Yep, it's poppycock, I say! But it's fun to read what supposedly links me to about eight percent of the world's population.

I don’t believe in it myself but I think it’s fun anyway. At least there is no guilt or hell or any other bullshit that other religions put upon you..

For entertainment purposes only! A warning that should be printed on communion waffers as well.

Astrology was the mother of astronomy. That said, astrology is utter nonsense, but I owe the folks who thought stars and planets, and the moon and sun had some bearing on the lives of people a debt of gratitude. Why? Because of their pursuit of utter nonsense, a science was born from which answers have flowed and continue to do so.

I used to like this girl before. And she told me we can never date because our zodiac signs are not a match. I thought she was joking but then I realized she was serious and she really believed this thing. We're really good friends now but we don't live close by anymore. The last time I saw her she was telling me about her BF and she is like "He is also Taurus, like you". And I started laughing "So you can date him but not me, life's not fair"... So my point is - yes astrology is bullshit

It can be entertaing and fun. It is not dangerous like religion. So who cares? People that get irate over astrology are just people looking to be pissed off at something. If you have a cool sign like Aries (me), it can work for you. If you are a guy, and you are a Virgo, yeah, l wouldn't bring that up. ?

Astrology is not real. It has entertainment value only.

Yup...load of nonsense! What DOES interest me is the variety of ''constellations'' humans have constructed over time. If you've ever seen the night sky in a place like Mongolia or the Masai Mara, Patagonia, etc....you know how many gazillions stars you see. The fact that people actually studied those star patterns and invented meaningful FIGURES up there is gobsmacking!

A super load of horse shit. Take any astrology list, ask someone what there sign is, and then read a different sign and tell them it's theres. They will say "yeah that's sound like me!" Tell them you read them a different sign. They are all generic enough to fit everybody. It's a scam, just like religion.

It is malarkey.

Its a series of rudimentary to mediocre confidence scam techniques (like cold reads and the use of vague generalities to land a 'hit' wrapped in mysticism. The 'discovery' of a heretofore unmentioned 13th zodiac sign lost in translation for centuries completely refutes and neutralizes any hope for validity.

And like ALL forms of divination, it is simply a tool to trick your conscious mind into distraction so you can arrive at a solution to a problem by moving the flow of information from executive channels into suggestive channels, which have fewer 'yeah but' defenses.

More nonsense. The planets line up differently from every point of view which is infinite, so which line up is correct, plus the planets rotate and move in orbits, so the positions are always changing.

Sure! It is so obviously true that the planets all line up in a certain way so that they can tell me how to live my life because of my birthday. ?

It's entertaining. I am a sensitive Pisces and I do like the water. But sometimes their readings are a little fishy. It;s like I'm running around in an XFiles T-Shirt saying, "I want to believe."

Yes it is BS.

I don't believe in it but we Virgos tend to be skeptical.

Load of bollocks.

If you’re asking about the science, the science is in. There is not a single shred of evidence that human lives are affected or directed by the movement of the stars and constellations. When measured the possibility that they could have any influece at all is laughable. The distances are literally astronomical.

Humans see our environment in patterns. It is one of the things we are best at. We can see pictures and patterns in the pure random static of a TV screen. Structured semi random behaviors like Astrology, Tarot, and I Ching can help us put those random/patterns together and make sense of them. They are useful on the same way the Rorschach Test and the Meyers-Briggs test are useful. But the magic doesn’t come from the stars or the cards or the test. The magic comes from inside. The magic comes from us.

Yes, nasty nonsense.

However, taking a clean sheet of paper approach, I could entertain the notion that there might be some trends or patterns as to the time of year that you are born and some personal traits. It could be anything from when a person's parents chose to conceive (eg: after a nice Christmas bonus) to whether you had to begin the school year as young or old for your grade, etc. So, this doesn't yield anything as satisfying and granular as "you will have thus-and-such experience today", but it would be interesting to see some reputable study on this.

As an amateur astronomer, knowing the signs of the zodiac, as they pertain to the constellations and the precession of the equinoxes is clearly important, but that is all I pay attention to. Believers in astrology are not too different from religious adherents, or those who believe in fortune telling, healing magnets, conspiracy theories, homeopathic treatments, anti-vaxers and anti-GMO'ers.

Yup, absolutely.

I believe it is a crock of bovine excrement.

Yes along with alchemy, creationism, hydroplate. Etc.
