The question "who are you according to the horoscope?" there is always a place in a conversation. Judging people by their zodiac sign is nothing new. You don't feel weird when you hear evaluative comments like, "Oh, that's a typical Cancer trait!" People have been making important decisions in life by consulting the stars for a long time. Reading the daily horoscope for fun is, of course, nice, but if it becomes the main way to control the dumbest work ...
Astrology implies that there is a connection between the coincidence of the stars and human actions. The movement of heavenly bodies affects our destiny. It's crazy to think that the coincidence of stars and planets plays a vital role in your development as a person. No amount of evidence justifies that if you were born under a certain sign, you immediately have a certain skill set. And this article will introduce you to a different perspective on astrology.
10. Astrology and racism are brothers forever
The basic principles of racism and astrology are very similar: this is the idea of judging a person by signs that are beyond his control. Just as a person cannot change the color of his skin, in the same way he cannot change the date and time of his birth. Astrology and racism can be considered stereotypes by which people are judged without knowing them.
This is a kind of prejudice that exists in both astrology and racism. The bias that Cancers are emotional, Aries are natural leaders, etc. This sounds as silly as the fact that a person is lazy because of their skin color. All people are unique and cannot be judged with a solar sign bias!
9. "Reduction" of Pluto
A forecast in astrology is called a horoscope. This is a prediction associated with the movement of heavenly bodies and its influence on human affairs. That is, the movement of celestial bodies - say, planets - directly affects events in a person's life. But the development of technology all the time leads to the discovery of new planets. And sometimes planets can acquire or lose planetary status.
About ten years ago, Pluto lost the honorary title of the planet. It was opened in 1930. By this logic, everyone born between 1930 and 2006 followed the wrong horoscope. Does this mean that people are using someone else's horoscope?
8. Who do you share the same horoscope with?
An exclusive personal horoscope is a myth. There are about 7.4 billion people in the world. This means that at least four new life appears on Earth every second. Whether there is a unique horoscope for each of them is another question. There are 12 known signs of the zodiac.
The world's population is growing every year, and in this growing population there is a group of people born on the same day and time. Most likely, they have the same "individual" horoscope with you. Well, who do you have the same horoscope with? Well, it is quite possible - and without any proof - that you have the most unique horoscope in the world!
7. No guarantees
Astrological forecasts are expensive. Astrologers always charge a lot for predictions. When the foretold comes true, people believe them. It's another matter if it doesn't come true. Have you ever seen astrologers who admit that their predictions were wrong? They blame time for their mistakes.
“You’re having a bad time,” is their most frequent accusation. Do astrologers return your hard-earned money to you if their predictions did not come true? No, and that in itself means that forecasts for the future do not guarantee it. Money is always a risky topic, and in relation to astrologers it is definitely "YES"!
6. What's your sign?
The position of the sun in relation to the rotating Earth passes through the constellations causing the formations of the zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Previously, these signs were determined by the position of the sun in each constellation. Due to the precession, the solstice and equinox points have shifted 30 degrees to the west. This movement has taken place over the past 2,200 years. Consequently, the former zodiac constellations and the current segment of the zodiac do not coincide.
It has even been proven that there should be 13 zodiac signs instead of 12. The thirteenth is Ophiuchus. The discovery of this 13th sign would now be inconvenient for astrologers who are accustomed to the ordered 12 signs that rule the 12 houses of the zodiac. From this point of view, your zodiac sign will be the one in front. So who are you now?
5. Different views
Have you ever noticed that the predictions in your horoscope differ from astrologer to astrologer? This is confirmed in all daily newspapers. The predictions vary from one astrologer to another. All these predictions can be confusing, and you have to choose one that will be correct.
All astrologers believe that the movement of celestial bodies still affects the actions of people, and they differ. Trust me, they will leave you with tons of options to choose from!
4. The generalization game
Maybe people believe astrology because what was predicted happened to them. Observation of the "Barnum effect" showed that individuals highly value the description of the personality, which may be tailored specifically for them, but, in fact, is very vague and suitable for a wide range of people. Predictions in horoscopes are generalized so much that they can happen to most people at any time.
The most common statements are like "During the day you will feel empty." Isn't it clear that a typical working day will be long and tiring? "But at the end of the day, you will replenish all your energy." It is more than clear that after a day at work, a person ends up going home to rest. In general, one can assume that this is real, but in fact it is a very broad generalization.
3. Science operates with facts
There are facts in science that prove that the month of birth has a more lasting effect on a person. But this is due to the chemical composition of the body. Not because of the alignment of the celestial body in space. Scientists have shown that the time of year you were born affects neurotransmitters. This is noticeable even in an adult body.
Neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are responsible for mood and emotion changes. These monoamines are chemicals produced in the brain that affect how we feel. That is, "summer" children were born in the sunniest and most pleasant time of the year. But science has proven that they also have frequent mood swings, and these children are not always happy.
2. It's a way to make money
People believe in astrology so much that they turn to it even for little things. They are looking for the perfect time for a wedding, moving to a new home, work and much more according to horoscopes. For all these reasons, astrologers earn very, very much. Online subscription websites and late-night TV ads, flashy business cards and elite phone numbers. A whole new industry.
1. Wrong belief
People who read their daily horoscope are always positive. They believe one hundred percent that this is something serious. People are always looking for reasons why a particular thing happened to them. People look for reasons for every event in their lives, and find answers in astrology. They believe in statements that are too general and associate them with specific things that happen to them. These people will also read the horoscope the next day. They will even blame him for what happened to them! In any case, if the horoscope is not fulfilled, they will still read the forecast for the next month. Not knowing how to spend the day without knowing about it from the horoscope is addiction. Horoscopes for no reason are a sign of foolishness.
Astrology and horoscopes have no proven scientific evidence. This is not science, and it is still in question: is this knowledge real or not. Astrology for fun is easier to accept than belief in it. You yourself build your own destiny.It’s crazy to believe that the stars are to blame for your failures. Build your own destiny and stop blaming them.
Astrology is as stupid as the phrase: "Oh, Capricorns are so cynical."
