Turns out you're all nerds, astrology is literally right there but you're all like mAteRIAlist DiALectiCisM
"I believe in ScIeNcE, things that are real, observable and measurable"
*Ignores the predictable heavenly bodies visible to the bare eye*
I'll compromise. One person can do astrology at a time and we refer to that person as The Oracle
Tbh anybody who was half paying attention to electoral politics in 2020 could've made that chaser prediction. The shot is really impressive though, credit where credit is due
I was expecting Friday. I guess Sunday makes okay sense so tomorrow they can start pounding the news programs with pro-Kamala propaganda
I'm not claiming that it is fake, I don't know. But especially after this Dril tweet (also predicting recent US-presidential events) turning out to be fake, and seeing a slew of other faked prediction social media posts recently from lesser-known people and randos, I have to say am extremely skeptical of this one. Has it been confirmed as real?

It's funny cause the constellations that they're supposed to be based off of aren't even correct with the months so literally everything they say is wrong
The Sidereal traditions correct for the precession, the Tropical ones are frozen and increasingly out of sync. Tropical is the majority tradition among westerners. The big tradition in India, Jyotish, is Sidereal, but mainstream Jyotish doesn't acknowledge planets beyond Saturn, the ones that needed a telescope to be discovered.
I, uh, tried a lot of things in the long years before I found Marx.
doesn't acknowledge planets beyond Saturn
That checks out. I can understand things 1.2 billion km away influencing things on earth, but any further than that is ridiculous.
Well, so like, there are the constellations that the signs are based on, but there's also the segments the year is cut into with the same names. I assumed they were still (at least mostly) in line with the calendar, unless they had to inscribe a new astrolabe every year which isn't impossible. So the full moon aligning with the Capricorn constellation during the 29th degree of Capricorn, which I'll assumed she got the date right; I don't have an astrolabe on hand. EDIT: I think they misread, it appears to be the 29⁰ of Cancer, but maybe location has something to do with it?
Tbf it makes reverse psych stuff to strike your paranoid enemies with, I suspect that's why everyone openly had war astrologers during WW2 for that extra edge.
we live in a simulation
