Ppl who are real into astrology/conspiracies/woo beliefs *really* trigger me, but it's not because of the beliefs themselves, it's what it indicates about the person. To me, it implies a profound lack of curiosity in checking to see if their beliefs are true. 1/

Generalizing about the motivations of a swath of people across broad, poorly defined categories seems to me to be akin to the incuriosity that you find so perturbing. But I’m an astrologer, what could I possibly know, right?

Happy to be more precise here If you believe astrology is actually predictive of personality, then you probably will score lower on IQ tests. This isn't an absolute predictor, but an average one. Similarly to how I predict heavier ppl are more likely to be tall.

Instead of tweeting all this bullshit why didn't you just say what people like you usually say, "I think people who believe in astrology are stupid." Which isn't true. I've been an astrologer for over 25 years, have a background in psychology and an IQ of over 130.

i would guess that on average, people who believe in astrology tend to have lower IQs than those who don't.

It depends on whether they are astrologers or people who read horoscopes. FYI, astrologers don't believe in astrology - we know astrology.
