discussion Do you believe in Astrology?

[Poxy]

Absolutely not!

[LustSpell]

No. It's complete utter bullshit and is an unfounded science.

 

And to those that need to hear it, no your love life is not cursed because "Venus is in retrograde" or because you are "incompatible with a Taurus." You're just an insufferable brat. There is no Leo energy ruining your relationship. That's just you.

No but its entertaining and fun to read.

[brraap]

Yes. And you all should too considering the way mama venus retrograde came for everyone’s marriages 

 

explain THAT science 

 

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

No but I guess it gives people something to believe in. Kinda like a better religion 

[Windy Day]

you can not believe in it ofc, but i'm convinced astrology haters have absolutely no fun in life

[ontherocks]

Nah 

[Aethereal]

It's funny actually, it was a Friday and I was expecting  a really awful outcome, like the worst day of the entire year and astrology backed up those expectations, so I became prepared and I received the best news of the year that same day instead, so no.

It’s great for entertainment and trivia purposes. Some of it has proven to be accurate for me.

How much good faith scientific research has really been done on the topic though?

Because they use manipulative language that applies to everyone and in some cases when they get "deep", more detailed and nuanced it's either a coincidence or inaccurate. 

[Mystical]

No, because you can read any sign’s horoscope and it’ll 100% apply to you in one way or another. It’s all fiction  

[DamianSolo]

I didn't, really, until someone I had met for all of two minutes pretty much called me out on my whole entire personality, correctly determining that I was a Leo and revealed details about me that he shouldn't have otherwise known. He gave me the information I needed to look deeper into it, and I was impressed by all that I had found.

 

I do think there is a basis to it. I don't necessarily believe in the day-to-day or month-to-month type of astrology, but I do believe the alignment of the moon, sun and stars do have some kind of imprint upon us on at birth.

[Euterpe]

No.

[Haschwalth]

Yes and I judge anyone who doesn't

[Gottasadae]

Yes 

[DAP]

No and I met someone who was into it heavy (plus a Protestant) and he was crazy as hell. Nice though

 

[Kiel D-01]

I don’t care about it, but you do you if you believe in it. 
 

Personally, it’s as real as god.

[better than revenge]

To some degree but I don't take it seriously

[Queen.]

It's demonic. 

[Dessy]

No and I can't take any one who believe it seriously. Especially when they can't pin me down or are confused that I am an Aries 

[VelvetCrush]

No but I believe it should be treated as something fun and, for some people, religious, so I respect it. But people who introduce themselves with the third thing being their horoscope sign are my pet peeve  I hate it because it's so common among girls too

[Keith]

Yes

[Frappucino]

Just came back to remind you guys Crapicorns are still the worst 

[Triton]

No, I still don’t know what Mercury in Gatorade means. 

[swissman]

Yes.

 

People who say "no" but have not looked into their natal charts, or those of people they know are not basing it off much experience. General horoscopes are generally pretty weak, so thinking that you simply can relate to any 2-3 sentence "your week will be..." thing is not really giving it the fair chance it deserves.

 

It is a pseudoscience, sure, but it's also based on thousands of years of math and calculations and observation.

 

Simply put, if the gravitational pull of the moon alone can affect/move the largest thing on earth (the oceans, via tides), then why is it so absurd to think that it (or other planetary objects) could affect us (who are made up of mostly water, too). If we think of it in this way, and how perhaps these gravitational and planetary changes might affect our physical minds, we can see how it could possibly change one's personality, or how they act, etc. etc.

[swissman]

It's also pretty weird, I think, to say there is no scientific backing to it thus it must not be true, or have basis. There's plenty of things science can not explain yet exist anyway.
