My favorite people who have interests in astrology basically seem to use it as a sort of Rorschach test, like a quasi-random generator of archetypes to play with. It’s theatre. You can take it too seriously, but same can be said of sports nerds, gamers, even cargo-cult science
The popularity of astrology is one of the few things that makes me feel really despondent about current culture. It seems such low hanging fruit for even a basic amount of self-skepticism. Can any astrology supporters explain why they believe it?

Id be waaay more into this if it were more like tarot - like you draw the sign from a deck or something to guide you for the day.

#astrology is essentially not a belief (like a religion) it has more to do with direct experience, and very few can actually interpret properly... it's never helpful to go into anytime with a closed mind -
How do you directly experience a *system of thought that corresponds certain personality traits to the stars*? I am *extremely* skeptical of any claims that translate a belief into a direct experience. That throws up so many warning flags

I suppose my first question is how familiar you are with astrology. But to answer your question, I liken it to a far looser form of study in the same vein as sociology; mostly correlative. I wouldn't be any more despondent about it than you would be with people being Christian.
