Do you believe in astrology?

Question

Zodiac signs, tarot readings, ...

Why or why not?

For me it's a yes and a no.. it doesn't define a person but why are the horoscopes n shit always correct? 💀

Also what is your sign? (Or signs if you also know your moon and ascendant)

i start with skepticism, they relate a star to a month. 1 now is bow, archer, sag'. but that is not the star NOW if a child is born or ourselves this generation.

2, the sun has been on background of scorpio until now and even near date 21, not yet in sag. since the earth is spinning that is the background all day. the ones at night when we face away from sun are also not sag.

3, so people born when sun is in scorpio, in dec. say they are sag' in dec. and some "promote astrology that it happened" but the stars that allegedly affected them were the ones called scorpio with the different power of scorpio. which did not match kuz they said sag matched.

4, those who pay for readings are suckers and chumps even if it would not be scorpio.

5, horoscope is for the morons and idiots. it cannot influence matches compatibility nor predict future, even if star influenced because it is wrong stars. and untestable that they influenced because 6, the predictions are vague to include stuff in almost anyone's regular life, like a con artist. sounds convincing. and personality trait list is for anyone any month.

so i do not believe horoscope silliness. i recommend not paying anyone for tarrot or horoscope etc. some months are 2 signs away.

i did a test for a week, i read horoscope in morning but during day no events matched the predictions BUT at night i read it again and it did refer to things that happened because it is vague enough to incllude some events in anyone's random day. like a con artist. for which people pay as chumps.

I don't believe in anything. And my strongest trait is hating such rubbish, anything without logic and evidence is something I shall always despise it just reminds me how dumb a lot of the population is, and how psychology can be used in very hurtful ways.
Religion, pseudo science, flat earthers, etc etc.

And yeah there is a reason why it seems right, they design it to trick people and does so by been right about a certain amount of such people.
"Aries are typically brave and outgoing. They're assertive by nature and won't hesitate to tell you how they feel." This of course has some truth about it towards me but this also so generic, many people who aren't Aries are also like this.

There's a reason why cults use personality tests and such, because they know it's manipulative and will work on many of the people who aren't smart enough to see it for what it is. And it's annoying as hell because psychologically it works.

We would all be better off as a human race without such things.

Yes and no as you. I don’t believe zodiac define a person as a whole but it definitely can introduce the organic individuality of understanding how a person might be. I believe there’s so much more to a person that we can’t put it in one box.

tarot reading, I used to thought it was fake until I went to an art museum event with a friend a few years ago. My friend got her reading done and it was true. I got my reading done after her and it’s true too LOL. They bought me after that ☠️

I can't say that I believe 100% in astrology/zodiac, etc. But, I do see in myself TONS of traits attributed to those born as Libra.

Interestingly, Libra is the only sign that I'd an inanimate object (the scales) whereas every other sign is either a person or animal.

So, bottom line I enjoy astrology as a past time, def not something I live my life by.

I believe that it is a thing that people believe. And I like to joke around with it from time to time. I also like being a Scorpio. People have some interesting opinions about Scorpios. 🤣 It can be entertaining to hear.

Buuut I don't believe there's any legitimacy to the claims though. I've also just never taken them seriously. Probably due to coming from a religious family. My parents would point out how "silly" it all was which made me think about them in a more critical way.

HawkPerception · Answer

Absolutely not. It's a cult of women that believe in that nonsense. There won't be many men that believe in that.

I do admit I actually do resonate with most of the traits and personality description in Sagittarius, but that's what they do... they give you broad descriptions that apply to most people. There's no way you can tell me everyone born around the time I was born has a similar personality. And whenever girls hear you say that they'll come up with some shit like "Oh but you have a sun and moon sign too and they also affect your personality. So not everyone will have the same personality obviously." Man... y'all really fell for that trap logic. Smh.

Sheldon from Big Bang Theory debunked it well.

sawno · Answer

I do to some extent but funny enough the reverse of you.
Prediction horoscope stuff has never come true for me, Zodiac signs have proven more accurate.

Tarot depends a lot on the reader, I am friends with a few good ones who do the real thing. Its more than just pulling out a card. Things can be scarily spot on and accurate and won't be generic at all unlike what some people believe. But thats when they telepathically tune in to you and actually grab what your doing. Some readers I know will be able to tell you how your physically feeling completely spot on and those aren't random guesses.

But of course if its just one of those pay sites, or people who just pull a few random cards and reading from the description its not going to be accurate at all.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

I believe in chaos theory. The common example is the butterfly fluttering around in one place will affect the weather on the other side of the world. This is completely true. BUT the affect is so extraordinarily small that it might as well not exist.

The positions of the planets, and even the moon, are similar. They DO affect us and continue to affect us throughout our lives. But the effect is so small that it might as well not exist at all.

The drop of rain that just fell outside my window has more affect. The leaf that just fell off a tree has more effect. But I sure as heck can't write a paragraph about the affect. I can't even dot the i.

Plus, it gets all jumbled up with the trillions of other leaves and rain drops that fell. Not to mention all the other zillions of things affecting me. Even a planet the size of Jupiter is nothing compared to everything else. It might as well not even exist.

KrisKris81 · Answer

It's interesting, but if a horoscope or torrot reading tells you something that doesn't seem to be right it might lead you to do something, subconsciously, that would prove it. Like self-hypnosis.

Horoscopes tend to be vague, to the point of meaning anything... so, maybe they could function as a motivator.

Tarrot cards are the the most curious to me. It seems like in order for it to have any real possibility of prediction you would need to complete numerous readings and take an average, which I don't think is typical.

I'm a Taurus and the descriptions I have read of Taurus fit me relatively well, as any generalization would anyone else.

Tldr - No. It is interesting, though.

Matadorius · Answer

The only things i know about astrology are zodiac signs and im a Taurus and my ascendant is Virgo if im not wrong. Other than that its complete bullshit if you ask me.

In my opinion, people created such a system in ancient times to explain the events they could not understand by basing them on divine and spiritual foundations. I don't think such a thing is possible in the light of the science we have today. I mean come onn Venus or a star spinning on its own in space cannot affect my character, isn't it lol?😄 Ofc anyone can believe whatever they want, but just like religions, these are outdated things, they have no place in the modern world.

KelseiGrammar · Answer

I definitely believe in astrology! All 3 of my signs are Cancer and I'm the exact epitome of a Cancer. However, no 2 people who share a sign will be the same because genetics and upbringing play a large role in who a person is too. I usually clique so well, almost on a psychic level, with other water signs. But I tried for 2 years to crack the code on this self- centered, emotionally deceased Scorpio in my life and I just gave up. I don't use it as the end all to be all when dealing with people, but it helps me gain a better understanding of their thought process when they frustrate the hell outta me. I'd like to think astrology has kept a lot of people alive in my life and has kept me out of jail

etsylo · Answer

i only know that im a Scorpio, and MOST of what a Scorpio is does fit me. Such as being passionate, persistent, loyal and even jealous. But honestly i like to think I'm me instead of the sign, you know? Sometimes it does align and other times I'm just me.
it's fun to look into though!!! i just wouldn't want to base off my personality on signs 🙏

Still-alive · Answer

While they can be fun, no i do not seriously believe them. and i have a general distrust towards those who do seriously believe them lol.

You can easily prove they are bs too. all you gotta do is remove the astrological sign names and mix up all the descriptions and you couldn't tell which is what.

BourbonAndBacon · Answer

I would say that I mostly don't believe but I think there is something to it. I started listening to Jenna Zoe a couple weeks ago and there's definitely a science to it. Unfortunately, it seems like 90% of what's out there is made up nonsense and nothing to do with the science

I am a Scorpio. Love me or hate me lol

Little_Bumblebee · Answer

I agree with @Still-alive  It can be fun and entertaining, but I don't belive it. Horoscopes, astrology, and all is usually made super vague so majority of people identify with what's being said.

Anonymous · Answer

Of course I believe in it! It’s actually a branch of science you silly girl. It deals with planetary systems, galaxies, basically our universe as a whole. I always wanted to be an astronomer but it takes a lot of schooling but it costs nothing and you don’t need any special schooling to look at the stars every night and make a wish.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't let it define me, yet it might be connected in some way. Given that my Scorpio sun and Scorpio moon are conjunct Pluto in Scorpio, it is very powerful. I have some experience with tarot cards, therefore I can say that I fully believe in tarot readings, especially when done correctly.

HaveNoName · Answer

(Strange... Why is it forcing me to type in Italics?) Our faith tells us that while there may be a science behind it, practice of future telling is strictly forbidden. It is only permissible to calculate the future months and events like sunset sunrise etc. so the forbidden include astrology, palmistry, tarot card readers, sorcerers etc

ManOnFire · Answer

Nah. But I won't lie, the signs' description sometimes do seem to match personalities, although they are actually off: the calendars in ancient times didn't always have 12 months, and the positions of the stars and planets have changed over millenia, so some accuracy is lacking🧐

Apple1996 · Answer

Yess I do and I'm a virgo it matches my personality.  And all my closest friends have been Geminis. They have a sweet and a spicy side. Just gotta know how to stay on that sweet side lol 😆

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Astrology is nonsense. Horosopes make statements that most people want to believe about themselves, or they make statements that are so general that they would apply to almost anyone (e. g., you will encounter some adversity today.)

ohsheeT · Answer

I believe in energy
And even though my horoscope is right on the money and I don't see how that can be because
There were actually 13 signs and also the months are changed around and not in the order that they first came out as it's like this month it's December and December wasn't our
Last month I have a whole breakdown on it I have to look for it it's very interesting but a lot of things got changed around thousands and thousands of years ago

smne35 · Answer

I'm a Gemini also Gemini are well balanced lots of fun caring held to a higher standards that said I believe astrology is some what suggestive, what I mean is once a person read their zodiac sign for first time they feel compelled to act that way and begin to transform themselves to behaving like the sign their born under, however if say they go through life not ever reading about their sign I Believe they will not be as their sign said they should act,

mstbooblover · Answer

No, not at all. Astrology and astrology fans always seem suspect to me, as a kind of running away from plain real life. Now, the truth never being black or white, I understand we all need somehow to believe in something, and if astrology helps some people deal with the difficulties of life, so be it.

Anonymous · Answer

No. Anyone who takes astrology seriously should be publicly mocked. It only appears accurate because they keep the predictions vague and make predictions that are very wide and encompassing so you could apply it to a myriad of situations and people. Any good con man knows this.

DJB72 · Answer

I prefer to look to the Creator instead of the created.

Astrology is kind of self-fulfilling. You find ways to make what happens on a day "fit" with the prediction. I don't doubt there's a spiritual power behind it. There is behind most things people believe in.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

I love stargazing... but not astrology. I don't believe in it. In general, there are not many things I believe in :P

Jersey2 · Answer

No, I don’t believe in astrology. Its just our view from earth of random stars, some who do not even exist anymore but their light is finally reaching us, and these stars just happen to get connected together by the human brain into segments of the night sky and characteristics are assigned to them based on birth date.

clampfan101 · Answer

I do not. I think it’s an interesting concept, but in the end just doesn’t make sense. (Much like the flat Earth theory. lol)

I don’t remember which mine is, but I remember looking it up and it having a very inaccurate description.

NathanDavis · Answer

all I know about that is one thing... I'm a Leo, from August, no more... lol

jcampbell115 · Answer

What are your thoughts here miss Gemini?

loveslongnails · Answer

It's nonsense to me, and your daily horoscopes are written in such a way that you could blindly choose any month and find something applicable. Tarot to me, is superstition.

Staximus · Answer

I don't put much faith in astrology. I have had 2 girls fall in love with me with the same birthday in November, though. Both psycho Scorpios haha. I'm a Taurus and supposedly fit the stereotype for that sign

Crankor · Answer

It makes sense there could be similarities based on the zodiac just due to the time of year they are born prob because people tend to be affected by the weather and events that are prevalent but at the same time it's easy to act in a different way that easily contradicts it...

DryGermanGuy · Answer

No, thanks. Leave that nonsense to Sybill Trelawney.

Anonymous · Answer

Of course not. There are a lot of things that contribute to person's personality, character and who he/she gets along with, but their "zodiac" sign isn't one of them. Notal nonsense.

nudeNhorny · Answer

for me it's a yes and no too, I believe in the signs, yes they do exist, yes they are connected to stars and planets, and yes they do have effects on our personalities, they give us personal traits and stuff.

but I don't believe in the readings and predictions thing, that's ridiculous.

I'm an Aries myself.

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

I believe in it to an extent I suppose.  im a Virgo sun/rising and Pisces moon

Orangekiss · Answer

There is no way that points of light in the sky trillions of miles away can affect jack on Earth or your life. It's easier to believe in God than that. 🥱

Anonymous · Answer

Only in the sense that women believe and use them for a self fulfilling prophecy. For example, if you are a Virgo you might subconsciously try and lead a more disciplined and ordered life and conclude it’s your sign coming out. Even though in reality stars had nothing to do with it and they took these initiatives themselves.
