I don't want to come across as the crazy-hippie-70s-weird-crystal-aunt, but to dismiss completely it's (astrology) effect on people, their signs and all is not the way to do it personally. The thing is the science of the stars is astronomy, not astrology. It's nowhere near science. Do you have a good explanation for stars influencing someone's personality? chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorde Von Kok 4 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 " Serious astrologers are agreed that the sun-sign provides important information about human behaviour, although most would be quick to point out that it is not the only factor since it tries to fit everyone into only 12 groups. "Sun-sign" astrology uses only one element of the horoscope, the sign occupied by the Sun at a person's birth. This is the type widely publicized in newspapers because it is simple and nontechnical. It is also easy to refute. We should note, however, that the scientific tests carried out in the last decade address not only sun-sign astrology, but also so-called serious (natal) astrology. As stated above, the results of these tests are all negative. " https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.2466/pr0.1990.67.1.163 Hell, what can I say. I won't be an hypocrite and I will own up to what I said and the mistakes I made. I do still believe strongly in astrology, but I indeed lack, at the moment, any scientific proof. Therefore, I can't really argue with you guys that don't believe in it and that think she's being a dumbass. I'll respectfully take the L. What is done in the dark shall one day come to light.

I think the reason a lot of people feel so strongly against Astrology is because we feel we really don't need yet another thing that divides us and labels us. It also enables implicit discrimination. Imagine an employer using the excuse "I don't want to hire Virgos" and getting away with it when in fact he just doesn't want a black woman in office. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adarsh Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 What else could I expect from a website filled with ignorant white people. Astrology in huge in Asian cultures and we even plan major life events around the movement of stars and planets. Maybe educate yourself before being judgemental.
