Do you believe in Astrology or Zodiac Sign?

[damlaechelon]

Absolutely I don't. And I have plenty of reasons for that.

1- I find it really illogical to define someone's personality just based on their birth date. So many people are born on the exact same day, even at the same time and in the same hospital — yet they all have different personalities. Even twins, who are born under exactly the same conditions, often turn out to be quite different from each other.

2- Apparently, Pisces and Sagittarius are considered opposite signs — yet I somehow relate to both. My sun sign is Pisces, but neither my ascendant nor moon sign is Sagittarius.

My ascendant is Taurus, and I’m supposed to embody Taurus traits more clearly after the age of 30 or 34... but I don’t really see that happening.

3- People say Leo is a "born leader" sign — yet aside from Obama, barely any national leaders are Leos. Gemini is often said to be the worst for leadership, but Trump is a Gemini and, whether we like it or not, he did become the president.

They say Taurus people love food. I’ve seen many food lovers who are not Taurus at all, and many Taurus individuals who aren’t into food that much.

4- So no, zodiac traits don’t consistently reflect in everyone. Please don’t judge or stereotype people based on their zodiac sign — we are all different.

And finally, there is no real scientific proof behind astrology. The stars in the universe don’t control your life. A person’s behavior and personality are shaped by their environment and life experiences, not by distant planets or constellations.

Please stop blaming everything in your life on zodiac signs. It’s time to grow up.

Not for fortune telling, only to define someone's personality.

1. People are born on the exact same date, but not the same year, they have different astrological aspects and planetary positions.
- They also have different genes, personality also depends on genetic predispositions.
- Even twins can have different ascendant.

2. Pisces and Sagittarius are not opposite signs — Pisces is opposite of Virgo.
Sagittarius is opposite of Gemini.
- Professional astrologist can tell you why you relate to Sagittarius, I presume you have several planets in the sign of Sagittarius (perhaps Mars, Venus and/or Jupiter).

3. On contrary, Napoleon Bonaparte was a Leo. So was Fidel Castro, Simon Bolivar, Hugo Chavez, Deng Xiaoping and many others.

- Gemini is definitely not the worst for leadership, they are usually very intelligent, and have excellent communication skills.
- The worst for leadership is Pisces (e. g Mikhail Gorbachev - Who ruined Soviet Union).
- Most Taurus I know are food lovers, but there are always exceptions, as I said, it depends on many other aspects (ascendant, Moon sign, Mars sign, Venus sign, etc).

4. So yes, zodiac traits do consistently reflect in everyone, but you don't see it, because you are ignoring many other aspects of astrology.
- Yes, we are all different, thanks to combination of astrology and genetics.

5. There is a scientific proof behind astrology: https://medium.com/the-science-of-astrology/the-scientific-evidence-of-astrology-50ead3fabe04

- Of course the stars don't control your life, but they have influence on your personality. A person’s behavior and personality are shaped by their genetics and astrology, not just their environment and life experiences.

- Nobody is blaming zodiac signs for anything.

The prominent traits of my zodiac sign actually do describe me pretty well. I don’t put a lot of stock in astrology, but it is interesting and entertaining.

I don't think anyone with common sense blames anything that's going on in their life on astrology or zodiac signs. I think a lot of people that are into it like to have fun with it but don't take it seriously.

I believe in Astronomy (science) over Astrology (myth)

Just how I am personally, don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade.

Of course not, Pieces never do! (Not my star sign!)

Nah, it's nonsense. But it's fun to PRETEND like there's really something to it. Just don't do anything foolish like base you major life decisions off of it.

God no! It's utter hogwash. I live my life based on fortune cookies like a true adult.
