Yay, astrology!

You know - horoscopes, astrological charts, sun signs, moon signs, synastry, compatibility, etc.

Proof that you believe in astrology (or at least find it entertaining): You like knowing the astrological sign of the person you are dating or have a crush on; you like looking up your future forecast in the newspaper or on a website; you make serious observations or humorous remarks about people based on their astrological signs (e.g. "That's such a Leo thing to do!"); you think astrology can tell you something interesting or important about people and events.

Proof that you don't believe in astrology AT ALL: You never do any of the above activities, except to poke fun at them. And maybe not even then. 😀

Keep in mind that there are many systems of astrology - European/Western astrology, Chinese astrology, Indian astrology, etc. You may feel differently about each system. Feel free to discuss your opinions/experiences with any of these styles of astrology, and if you think any of them are more accurate than the others, etc.

In my case, I was a total astrological non-believer until a creepily accurate - I mean SCARILY accurate - on-the-spot chart-reading by a professional Indian astrologer from the Vedic school of thought. I mean... he got stuff right that only I thought I knew about. To the point where I got jumpy about having my family in the same room, because I didn't want them to find out... Lol.

Since then, I've acquired a more ambivalent attitude towards astrology. I can't say it's accurate all the time, but I can't be sure whether that lack of accuracy is because the astrologer isn't a proper astrologer or whether astrology itself is defective... You know? Certainly, when the astrologer is good, I find that the results at least can be accurate. Even scarily accurate. @_@;

But that's just in my experience. What about you?

It can be accurate, because lets face it... many people around the world suffer from the same shit... and as thus it applies to them... never the less the advise is good, and advise is always welcome... just don't let it get inside your head

Well, think about it. There's over 6.5 billion people in the world. They can't all have the same S#!7 happening to them. It's stereotyping that I find quite ridiculous (and baseless), but it's good to kill time I guess.

Nah, but it's fun to read them and see whether they're accurate or totally just made up crap.
Or whether they're totally made up crap that just happens to be accurate 🤣

I usually find the ones that go on about your love life are useless inaccurate nonsense.

I don't really believe in it, but I read them sometimes if they're in the paper or something, just because they're there.

No, but there's no harm in it if you don't take it too seriously.

Nope, I don't.

I do however, know the astro signs and Chinese zodiacs of people.
I never remember full dates of birth, so at least I have this. X3

Believe in what you want, but people who always talk about it annoy me very much.
😐

Not at all. But it can be kind of fun checking what they say. Thankfully I don't really know anyone who takes them too seriously

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

Don't believe it but I know more stuff about it than some who do believe(I'm a Scorpio from the second decan with pisces for ascendant). Used to know more about it. I'm a classical scientist, I learn something before I diss it as innacurate, which it is. Still pretty fun to answer it(I say the whole thing, including decan and ascendant) when someone asks me what's my sign.

I don't believe in it at all but reading about it is pretty fun.

Sometimes, some of the most accurate things happen. Other times, it's the complete opposite. I occasionally follow some of their advices though. Like.. lucky & unlucky colors.

They're fun, and I do follow some readings seriously. But I'm also iffy about it.
