It's bull pucky used to validate people's feelings, and I will only rescind that opinion with hard evidence that it affects one's life without "the power of the placebo effect". Or any kind of correlation to real life events that could easily be explained by circumstance.

I agree with this.

I think it is something entertaining and fun. I kind of believe in birth charts, but my life doesn't revolve around it either. It could just be because I feel like most of my birth chart reflects me.
I don't know much about numerology, but just the fact that its numbers makes me not like it lol
Scorpio rising, Sagittarius Sun, Libra Moon…yay

It's entertaining but like everything else I don't take it seriously. Yes, I am a sagittarius.

i wish i TRULY believed in horoscopes, etc so spending time reading those wouldnt be lost time. i love reading about it but dont really believe any of it lol. I just think its fun.
im a virgo and my rising sign is gemini.
i was born on the same exact day as my mom but we're completely different. i understand someone who believes in astrology would say that happens because our rising signs are different, but eh. its complete bs.

I totally believe in the character traits of starsigns but not horoscope predictions (like telling you the future and shit). I'm a Pisces down to a tee, extremely creative and overly sensitive but also off with the fairies a lot and daydream constantly. I can understand completely how people are skeptical though, tbh I grew up with disfuntional new age parents so it probably rubbed off on me.

>describe a random selection of normal human characteristics
>people hone in on the ones that best describe them
>oh man it must be true because that's SO ME!

Also when it comes to horoscopes it's just more interesting and fun to get your whole star chart mapped and check that out, but for some reason most people I see who act like they genuinely believe in horoscopes defining people's personalities & behavior, only pay attention to sun signs.

its almost like vague statements can be interpreted in various ways
horoscopes are a bunch of bullshit, no further discussion needed.

i know atrology and horoscopes are highly unlikely to be legit like 99% of the time but overall i think it gets taken way too seriously now that it's such a trendy thing to read up on and talk about. especially with how biased ppl are regarding certain sun signs, being a gemini is so fucking ANNOYING because it's the most demonized usually. even though my moon and almost everything else in my chart are pisces which fits my personality a LOT better

basically it can be fun to relate personal experiences to and to connect parts of your own traits to certain signs but ppl get weird about it and ruin it for me

My mom is big time into horoscopes along with stuff like tarot cards and all the like. Pretty weird since she is a science teacher.

One time she gave me a relationship horoscope for me and my (ex)boyfriend. He was pretty weird out.

Anyway, I'm a leo and I have always liked cats so that was a plus for me, my mom also bought me a gold necklace with my star(sun)sign on it.

I really don't believe in it but I do think it's fun.

There isn't anything real to horoscopes or astrology, but I still enjoy the aesthetic. I also feel oddly connected to my star sign for some reason (aquarius). It's almost weird, but pattern recognition is wired in to us. Astrology is a way to indulge in bias, consciously or not. It's a fun thing for me. Except for horoscopes. They're lame.

You don't have to be rich to be my girl / You don't have to be cool to rule my world / Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with / I just want your extra time and your [dunununununu] kiss

I don't think it has much to do with stars, but I do notice that people born during certain times of the year do behave in certain ways. I think it's more to do with environmental and cultural things though. It also explains why some cultures have different measures to explain these personalities ie. western horoscopes v. Chinese zodiacs.
