SkyWorld Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Personally, I don’t. As an asexual scorpio, apparently that sign is the most sexual out of all of them and it couldn’t be further from the truth. And there’s a lot of negative things and even some “positive” things that honestly just doesn’t even sound like me. Most things said about zodiac signs are super vague and could apply to anyone. If it was more specific, maybe I’d actually be impressed. Link to post Share on other sites

Salmiakki Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I wouldn't say I believe in them though sometimes I just read them for fun. I don't take them too seriously because often they're wrong but every once in a while they're actually accurate. For me horoscopes are mostly just something to look up when I'm bored Link to post Share on other sites

andreas1033 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I believe the public version of astrology is rubbish. But i think, there is a more complicated version, that the ptb follow. Like large companies, will only release there products in times, when they believe its best for them etc.. Or ptb families will organise it for there babies, to be born at certain times, to boost there chances of being a certain type of individual. So i believe there is truth to astrology. Just not the rubbish version the public are told. Very subtle energies affect humans, and this is why i believe it works. But most people do not understand this aspect that humans are affected by very small amounts of energy. But basically i ignore it, as those that really know about it, are not going to tell the public. The ptb use it, and massive companies i would assume use it alot. But for the general public, i think they are given a rubbish version of it. If your fortunate, you may develop your own understanding of it, and go into it alot yourself, if you have some skills or some knowledge from your own mind to do with it. So to answer, i believe the version given to the public is rubbish. But i believe there is something to astrology stuff, that we as the public never get exposed too, as the higher ups keep the best stuff to themselves. I believe there really are people that understand it well, but they are not telling the public about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Morgenrot Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I personally don't believe, but like to look through the zodiac stuff. It's always interesting to see, what other people think I'm like. But I also love making fun of stereotypes, so... If people do believe in them, well, it's their decision, but I personally like reading them for fun, not because I think what theire saying is true. @SkyWorld same. According to zodiac signs I'm a Gemini and a passionate lover and that's just... no. Link to post Share on other sites
Karst Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I've never believed in astrology, because I'm too much of a logical-Vulcan type. And in any case, I have hilariously conflicting Chinese and Western signs. (Leo Rabbit.) Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Alien Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 No, it’s not science. (I’m a Sagittarius, which are supposedly extroverted, energetic, overly optimistic... not me!) It’s nonsense. I don’t see any harm in it though. If you want to read your horoscope or whatever, go for it. It’s all just interpreting things as they apply to you. That said, I do think a lot of things that are nonsense are fun, like tarot. So if you like astrology, fine. But it’s still not a science. Link to post Share on other sites
Ldlelee Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Personally? Kind of, sort of. It's only because both of my signs (Aquarius, Rabbit) suit me really well. Aquarius people are supposed to be broad-minded, creative, but blunt to a fault (which I am), and hold firm beliefs in justice and truth. Rabbits have a tendency to be easygoing, but also people-pleasers who like to avoid conflict (definitely me). I don't read my horoscope, but I like to think that the stars have influenced my behavior somewhat. Link to post Share on other sites
MoraDollie Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It's fun to play around with and make up ideas about, but it shouldn't be taken dead seriously. Link to post Share on other sites

iff Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I think they are just a bit of fun. Though I was very disappointed with one them.us horoscope, it recommended that I should read a particular book. It isn't even out here until October grump (although it is a us website and out there already) I did preorder it though after looking into the the book so maybe I do believe in them?

Guest Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Astrology is fascinating as a theoretical construct (I have a faible for complex and symmetrical arrangements of "boxes"). Still, the bullshit content is probably in excess of 99%. Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Of course not, constellations aren't even a real thing. If you moved to an exoplanet they'd look completely different. Link to post Share on other sites
Karst Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I don't mind if other people believe in things like astrology and tarot. I just don't believe in them myself. Link to post Share on other sites
SkyWorld Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 I actually know a few people IRL who genuinely believe in them. I mean, whatever makes them happy, it's not like it's hurting anyone (err, for the most part that is..) Link to post Share on other sites

If you create artificial categories, distribute them randomly among people, and assign character traits to them randomly, it is to be expected that for some people, their assigned category will suit them well. If any form of Astrology had (significantly) more success predicting peoples' character traits than a random experiment as I described above, people (including scientists) would take it seriously. 50 minutes ago, SkyWorld said: it's not like it's hurting anyone (err, for the most part that is..) That seems like a good line to draw in the sand. People can believe whatever they want, as long as it's not causing real harm. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deus Ex Infinity Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm not bloody serious but I do believe that there are some basic characteristics that would often shine through, connected to special zodiacs. Link to post Share on other sites
