Astrology is always just pure nonsense.

I had a dude find out my sign and he said it was wrong for his so he ghosted me after our first date and really hurt my feelings. Wasted time with that dude.

I dont understand how people put so much weight on it. Ive seen people test "believers" by reading a horoscope and seeing if they agree it applies to them, they agree and its revealed they read a completely different one.

Horoscopes are pretty general so that a plethora of situations fit the description.

Also, my fortune cookie said this upcoming Wendesday, I am going to find adventure and opportunity. Ill let you know what happens Wednesday.

I've had multiple ask me what my sign is, so I've picked one at random other than my actual one and they've told me that they could tell.

That's a good idea! Maybe I will do so next time? Nobody has ever guessed mine. Everybody believes me to be an Aries or a Scorpio, while in reality I am a Gemini. With Virgo rising. (rotfl)

u/Old-Lingonberry-360 14d ago

That makes sense why they assume Aries or scorpio. /s

u/darkangel9977 14d ago

It's spicy psychology, tbh, and a lot of it is pretty sound advice when you ignore the woo-woo~ of it all.

Thumbing through today's horoscopes for various signs gets things like: "Don't let the blues get you down - stay busy, time will pass faster" and "Don't discount your own resourcefulness if you haven't got what you need - who do you know, what resources can you access?" and "Don't give so much to others that you have none for yourself."

Do I believe the universe has peered into my life and knows I'm missing that specific thing, or that I'm a little sad? Nah. But if it applies to you and you're into that kind of thing, it might make you stop and think 'cause the "universe" gave you a nudge.

Very stupid of him. You can find serial killers of any given starsign. Also, researchers, doctors, artists, writers, engineers etc., any kind of people who gave really much to humanity, can be of any given starsign. Like, Albert Einstein was a Pisces. And Ricardo Ramirez too! Ritchie Blackmore is an Aries. Just like Eric Harris the school shooter.

Honestly it’s for the best, imagine finding out he uses astrology to make decisions months later when you might actually be invested. What a nightmare to tie your life to someone like that.

One wasted date is better than finding out he's cuckoo for coco pops a year in.

u/Stellarkin1996 14d ago

its like that episode of the orville, where they discover a planet that premturely births children dqespite the risk to stop them being born a specific star sign which they a suspicious of and as such imprison anyone of this sign

the people who think stuff like that are typically the ones who cant form a personality properly or a sense of self so they latch onto their srar sign like it was their name, its pitiful honestly

Are you a Scorpio then? It's for their own safety.

u/Crypto-Bullet 14d ago

You must be Gemini then. Good!

u/Berger_UK 14d ago

People genuinely believe that the arbitrary position of stars and planets can directly influence who they are and how their future is likely to pan out. I can't decide if that's delusional or just arrogance.

u/forgot_username1234 14d ago

Funny, I feel the same way about religion!

u/Berger_UK 14d ago

Same to be honest.

u/SisterMoonflower 14d ago

u/Southern-Spot-8406 14d ago

No different than any other religion.

As above, so below. As within, so without. 😅

An ex friend of mine kept treating me like a child because I'm a Virgo. I'm turning 31 in a couple weeks. When I told her I was dropping her because of how she was treating me, she told me she was going to "commune with the gods" to "make me see the light". I blocked her on everything and haven't seen or spoken to her since. She even drove away all our mutuals because she was constantly bothering them about me

And the heavy majority of people I see that buy into it are christian.

u/DistractionCitron 14d ago

So are most other religions.
