You'll realize that lines total bullcrap in 10 seconds.

Aries works for this too.

    My trick with astrology people is "i don't believe in astrology because i'm an aquarius".

    I'm not a formal "astrologist", but I did choose bulbasaur in Pokemon Red. This means I have all of the good traits and none of the bad ones. I can mate with any other sign or pokemon but choose not to because bulbasaur is the wisdom symbol.

    Scorpios are okay but by the time you can make more than a couple of them you're better off using your workshops to make onagers or just saving the resources for trebuchets.

      I would be the exception that proves the rule.

      I immediately start talking about how the Zodiac is a universal calendar, and that the planets represent key long-term cyclical movements that accurately measure decades-long sequences, and that Astrology was really a bunch of clock and calendar nerds before we invented watches... at this point you just leisurely reel me in

    Picking up on just enough astrology is a good way to pick up hot people with that crystal aesthetic. Then they look at my chart and its a recreation of the beginning of Toby Dammit so it doesn't last long.

            oh i remember. honestly i am begging women to stop putting so much stock into a belief system that (seemingly?) determines your value based entirely on immutable characteristics

            you'd think we'd have enough of that to deal with from society but here we are

              There's probably a connection between the trauma of being forced into boxes at birth and belief in astrology, which is why men aren't into astrology because they've always been told they can be anything.

              Basically a cope.

        True, but there's worse things that someone can believe in. Upside can get on their good side with very little effort.

    My partner just finished a certificate program for astrology. I was definitely a skeptic but I support her, especially in things she’s passionate about. I’ve come to understand it as basically an elaborate way of tracking patterns in living things from people to stars.

    I’m fascinated how the astrological calendar lines up with other calendars. It’s clear Netanyahu is following the Jewish calendar for the war and it’s lined up with events in the astrological calendar. There are indications that something major will happen in the conflict - my guess is agression towards Lebanon - in the next ten days with the fast of the 17th of Tammuz on July 23. The Anaretic Full Moon in Capricorn is on July 21.

    That being said, she probably would laugh at the jokes in this thread and loathes armchair internet “astrologers”.

        Or the other way: A built-in schedule to follow, particularly if that schedule comes with predictions of good/bad luck.

    I used to live with some astrology lesbians and they were very insistent on knowing my exact minute of birth.

    No idea what they ended up doing with that information ngl.

    Astrology is just a socially acceptable way to ask when your birthday is.

    I knew a lady that was a Scorpio. She had a mug with her sign and the little positive traits on it. Absolutely wonderful person and character in her own right. I can imagine it was an annoying thing to hear people talking shit with actual bile-filled intent.

    I just like astrology because I invariably get the dickhead signs in all the different ways people look at it.

    Scorpio is the most common sign so hating scorpios is actually elitism or something.
