Leo boys report in.
Don't take it too seriously fagget.

>>14793370
Gemini Gang, where you at?

>>14793435
GANG

>>14793370
You don't combat it, you play into it and fuck them

>>14793370
Read the hermetic texts and beat them at their own game by showing that they know nothing of hermetic astrology and true esoteriscism. Usually gets them to shut up

>>14793441
Disagree
My gf is sort of interested in this shit, she doesn't super believe in it but also kinda does, idk
But when we first started going out I told her I don't believe in any of it and said it was stupid, so she doesn't really bring it up to me anymore

Stop acting like a bullshit Taurus.
Simple as.

>>14793468
Got a chart?

>>14793370
>What do I read to properly combat stupid broads obsessed with astrology?
Here's some starters that'll help you become bigbrained enough to hold a discourse on the legit, sacred science which is the study of the stars and their cycles:

i HATE women who do this shit.
>"oh u dont like this imma not say it around you"
no YOU FUCK say that shit around me and watch me tear u to fucking shreds do it do it do it do it do it do it do it

also scorpio gang rise up

>>14794423
Very scorpio of you to be such a fuckin asshole

>get rid of Christianity
>people believe in angels, UFOs, crystals, and astrology instead

GEMINI VIRGIN GANG

>>14794436
UFOs are real, crystal magic is fake shit used to sell overpriced rocks, angels are Christian, and astrology is just cold reading

>>14793385
Hell yeah, Leo gang

Fuck you OP. What are some books to read to understand astrology/stargazing/planetary alignments more?

Which Zodiac is better, the Chinese or the Greek one?

astrology broads are comfy

>if she's smart, it means she's at least incipiently into weird esoteric shit, instead of squandering her smarts on correctthink about trannies or whatever most college-educated women do
>if she's dumb, it means she has probably thrown herself into this comfy spiritual hobby and gained some actual wisdom in the process even if she has gone about it unsystematically
>women often aren't allowed to have real hobbies, because basic/normie women don't care about cultivating hobbies and men don't give women honest feedback for having hobbies (either indifference because they just want to fuck, or "wowwww you beat halo on easy that's so cooooool!!!" pandering because they juts want to fuck), but women who are into astrology are always weirdly into it so you get to see a whole side of women (genuine passionate engagement) that modern society normally forces to atrophy

I love women who are into astrology, tarot, crystals, I don't give a fuck what it is. There is nothing more attractive than seeing a woman genuinely invested in something, simply because she's invested in it and not because she is rewarded socially for it or because it's part of some faggoty thot archetype she's pressured to embody. More women should get into these things and then resurrect hermetic alchemy but keep it a secret for women only so that men can't ruin it by showing up and going WOWWWWWWW YOU RESURRECTED HERMETIC ALCHEMY??? THAT'S SOOOO COOL CAN I SMELL YOUR CLOTHES AND LICK PARTS OF YOU??

>>14794465
Cosmos and Psyche by Richard Tarnas
A History of Western Astrology by Richard Campion
And a collection on everything Jung said on the subject that I believe is just called “Jung on Astrology”.

>>14794487
Good recommendations, the smartest guy I've ever met is constantly bullying me for not reading Tarnash on his recommendation

>>14794486
Based.

>>14794486
Actually pretty based

>>14794491
It’s honestly pretty great. I used to be like OP, dismissive of astrology due to ignorance and sexism. But when you actually look into it, it’s quite compelling.

>>14794486
>>if she's smart, it means she's at least incipiently into weird esoteric shit, instead of squandering her smarts on correctthink about trannies or whatever most college-educated women do

Imagine taking an astrology chick and getting her into hermeticism. I bet you could do it.

>>14793370
Let her enjoy it u fucking faggot. I always have to dumb down 90 notches when speaking with my gf, because fuck, if she wants to believe in ghosts and spirits and whatnot, i dont give a shit. Same goes for kids and santa claus. Theyre actually that far below you, thats a redpill for ya bucko. Make her happy, theres more to life then philosophy and beeing right all the time, theres a cost. Whats right or wrong anyway? Letting a woman enjoy something and have her fun is wrong cause acccchually niel degrache tphyson says the months are off?

>>14794745
Cringe. That Platonist? Aquinas is better and he supports astrology.

>>14793370
it took 40 posts for an actual answer but here it is

>>14794761
Based Adorno chad

>>14794761
"To be sure, there are many intriguing observations throughout this mostly readable essay. In a passage perhaps even more true today than when it was written, Adorno says that a “climate of semi-erudition is the fertile breeding ground for astrology.” He refers to people who have gone just beyond the naive acceptance of the authority of science, but who don’t know enough, or who have not sufficiently developed “the power of thinking,” that they can replace such acceptance with anything better: “The semi-erudite vaguely wants to understand and is also driven by the narcissistic wish to prove superior to the plain people but he is not in a position to carry through complicated and detached intellectual operations.” In other words, quantum mechanics is pretty tough, but astrology offers sophisticated understanding of all reality in a few easy steps. Besides, astronomy is about those remote stars and planets out there — rather cold and impersonal. In Adorno’s apt title phrase, astrology brings it all down to earth, because it’s about the single most important thing in the universe: me."

Where my swagittarius homies at?

aries reporting in, post those fucking birth charts boys

Am I the only Libra in this godforsaken place?

>>14795020

you are being a cunt because mercury is in retrograde, we will take your thoughts with a grain of salt accordingly

>>14793370
>What do I read to properly combat stupid broads obsessed with astrology?
Typical Taurus.

>>14795100
your entire worldview is retrograde

>>14794732
>>14794739
What are we even supposed to be?
Virgo 5w4 INTP LII Ne subtype reporting in btw

>>14794788
Has anyone consistently btfo midwits harder than Adorno?

>>14795179

>>14795202
you cannot hide behind irony any longer
>you're taking it too seriously anon
not that's you I never gave this shit credibility
I definitely will not report this thread and gloat at its deletion

Don't mind me... just a pisces INFP here

>>14795215
irony where? shitty communication is a hallmark feature of mercury retrograde, so i'm assuming the retardation is a glitch

every time i talk to a guy, i remind myself not to bring up astrology because i don’t want to be judged.

>>14793370
I share Leo sun Taurus moon with Carl Jung, rekt nerds

>>14793375
>>14793370
Astrology was retroactively refuted by St. Chad Augustine (pbuh) in book 4 5 and 6 of his Confessions.

>>14795182
I'm a Virgo moon, and also 5w4 INTP
What's your moon and rising, anon?

taurus sun, scorpio moon, scorpio rising & intj.

>>14794486
Based. I would love to lead a progressive crystal divining astrology qt into Hermeticism and the Guenonian Traditionalism so she can be my Perenelle and I her Nicolas Flamel.

You guys should all KYS

>>14794761
Do you have anything less jewish?

>>14793370
Unironically a physics textbook on special relativity would do the trick, but going that far solely to combat 90 IQ roasties would be even more embarrassing than believing in astrology

>>14794815
How badly is the reading thrown off if you don't know the exact time you were born or the coordinates of the hospital room you were born in?

>>14795419
i'm so sorry that you're spiritually bankrupt—truly my heart goes out to you. nonetheless, you deserve a community too; i'm sure there's a home for you on r slash atheism or something

>>14794732
Virgins unite

>>14795440
birth time is pretty important to reading accuracy because the ascendant/rising sign moves quickly, and as for coordinates as long as you know your city of birth you should be fine.

>>14795317
I have no fucking clue but I was born on the 13th September maybe you can do all the work for me.

>>14793436

Actual conversation I had once

'Anon what's your sign.'
'Oh I don't believe in that nonsense.'
'Typical Gemini.'

Mfw

Fucking hell, I’m trying and failing to find this study/paper that posited some statistical correlation between certain Zodiac signs and criminality. I don’t believe in astrology but I thought that was interesting.

>>14795552
Oh and Aquarius btw ~

>>14795317
if you’re not aware of your birth time neither do your relatives then i would advise using 12 pm. as far as location just use your birth city

>>14795552
there’s actually “studies” online on serial killers and astrology. most serial killers have mutable signs in their chart.

>>14793375
Bullchad reporting in. Virgocels watch out.

>>14793435
NIGGA I WAS BORN TO GWT CANCER

>>14795587
bullchad here. god-tier birthsign, my mom was a taurus too and she cheated on my dad in his bed before she killed herself

>>14794436
Christians are usually the biggest believers in that kind of shit though

>>14794486
There is something deeply primal about women and the supernatural, it's why magic was always associated with witches and crones

>>14793370
There's nothing more midwit than actively hating astrology.

>>14793370
You should do a series of 15 minute sessions of discursive meditation on astrological themes. Start with the Cardinal symbols, then the Fixed, then the mutable, then go to the elements of fire, water, air and earth. One session each. Then one session to each sign, then one to each planet. By then you would be knowledgeable enough to have an interesting conversation with these people, and hey, you may find out you're actually into it.

>>14793370
Convince them you're an astrology expert to get laid.

My personality type is fish and my horoscope is intj, none of you can outchad me.

>>14793370
my girlfriend is into it quasi-seriously; she knows its bullshit but find it interesting regardless. i dont really mind it

>this thread
>meanwhile intellectual Sagittariuses lurk and not contribute to the drivel

>>14795018
Are you denying the effect of climate on genes in accordance to different seasons? Astrology is scientific

>>14796089
ok fag

>>14796098
Oh? Have I hit a brainlet leo's nerve? Fufufu

>>14793370

I, too, am a Lion amongst lambs, brethren.

>>14794806
Not a lot of us here apparently

People abandoned God and now seek to replace the hole left with superficial superstitions

YOU ARE NOT SOLELY YOUR SUN SIGN

YOU ARE NOT SOLELY YOUR SUN SIGN

IF U WANNA POST "IM AN X" YOUD RATHER POST AT LEAST THE TRINITY OF SUN MOON AND ASCENDANT

YOU ARE NOT SOLELY YOUR SUN SIGN, FUCK ALAN LEO THAT STARTED THIS STUPID TREND THAT LASTS FOR DECADES

People even of supposedly “normal” mind are prepared to accept systems of delusions for the simple reason that it is too difficult to distinguish such systems from the equally inexorable and equally opaque one under which they actually have to live out their lives. This is pretty well reflected by astrology as well by the two brands of totalitarian states which also claim to have a key for everything, know all the answers, reduce the complex to simple and mechanical inferences, doing away with anything that is strange and unknown and at the same time fail to explain anything.

>>14793435
PURE CANCER HERE

>>14794486
This is one of those extremely rare occasions where a frogposter wasn't retarded, I'd even go as far as saying it was pretty based

>>14794486
Based but most normies women how 'are into astrology' really don't know anything about it past solar signs and stereotypes.

>>14796097
>astrology
>climate
you are wrong and idiotic

>>14795020
naw

>>14794806
Based Saggitas, more curious and philosophically inquisitive sign of the zodiac

Joyce knew what was up.

>>14793385
Reporting, stay strong.

I half believe in astrology so I would mention how astrology is related to all the ancient gods, then talk about the concept of the 'great year' and astrological ages, how the aryan age came after the age of taurus, and how we're now entering into the age of aquarius. Either out-woo them or possibly get them to start thinking a bit deeper.

>>14794436
Second religiousness

>>14795625

It's partly because of the menstrual cycle, which inherently gives them an understanding, conscious or not, of duality - also why more women have BPD.
But it's also partly because the 'divine feminine' is represented by the 'feminine' moon vs. the masculine sun, or venus vs. mars, or the cat vs. the dog, or dionysus vs. apollo, or totalitarianism vs. authoritarianism etc.
Understand all of these 'feminine' archetypes, and you will understand women, their mentality, and why there is this inherent link between women and 'magic'/mystical practices.

>Girl's telling me how she never gets along with scorpios because they're all assholes
>"I'm a scorpio."
>"O-Oh, sorry anon..."

>>14793441
This. Except I play into it because I enjoy the fantasy.

>>14793370
>I have an irrational aversion to Astrology without the proper knowledge to debunk it.
You are worse than Astrologers.
