This whole thing astounds me. I had never met anyone who actually unironically had any interest in astrology before coming to uni. In uni, I met tons of people in my first year, not a single one talked about astrology.
Suddenly in my second year I hear one person talk about astrology as I'm walking and instantly after that moment I meet dozens and dozens of white and latina girls who are totally into astrology. I just laugh and tell them I'm a libra and let them go on and on about it, it's easy to tolerate. But on the inside I'm just so confused. Why is this suddenly something people actually believe? I was brought up to ridicule it.
Well of course, like just about everything, it's my fault for not believing in pseudoscience and I'm supposed to respect it because it's "fun and interesting even if it isn't for all of us" in the words of people who have authority over me.

Astrology has historical interest as for many many centuries it was the best attempt at science and medicine and alot of actually good science grew out of those strange beginnings.

Most people are just addicted epiphany or anything that gives them some personal guidance in a very boring consumer drone life. Like most psychology it doesn’t have to be right or accurate just new ideas to reflect on to better know yourself.

I think many use it to test how tolerant their conversational partner is of fundamentally different ideas. It's a covert placeholder for religion so they don't need to mention any specific religion. So it's kinda of test to see whether you will lash out at something you know is wrong, or peacefully keep your thoughts to yourself. Sometimes it isn't even about truth, but how you relate to metaphysics in general. There has been some interesting things happening in public discourse since the whole Dawkins episode 10+ years ago. Mainly JBP which argues for a completely metaphorical understanding of christianity. This is a clever way to smooth out conflict. Some even feel like everything should be proclaimed correct at the same time. It's sorta postmodern, everything is subjective, either there are no objective truths or everything is true.

Also, many actually believe it because they are retarded.

I will explain to you psued homos what astrology really is. The Universe is a singular living organism and astrology is like being the "doctor" of God so to speak. Why "doctor"? Because you are studying the bio-rhythms of God and by doing this you are able to make predictions about the future and understand the deepest mysteries of our reality which is the mind/body of the Universal organism.

I wrote this article explaining it for plebs but autists are rarely able to understand it because you have been so heavily brainwashed into your dogmatic autism by design. You are playthings for the dark occultists that run this reality on Earth and as easy to manipulate as child to those that know what they are doing but of course will jump up and down and call anyone that tells you this a schizo because of your ego and condition after brainwashing doesn't work very well if the subjects know it is happening to them

The way mainstream astrology is sold to people isnt how the idea should be studied:

The influence of planets and stars on Earth or consciousness of the human race.

The cycles the sun goes through, and planetary cycles have been studied by professional researchers in how they influence the economy, the environment, agriculture, politics, nature, and many other interesting statistics.

When you give the idea thought, its also true you cant say astrological predictions are 100% for sure in theory because people have free will, its not like just because *the stars say so* it will be, in most cases it seems. Above all astrology contains so many classifications and categories subject to an arbitrary or ``expert`` interpretation, i.e. - a planet or house can represent several classifications factors like career, family, posessions, etc., at some point someone is arbitrarily picking an interpretation by rules they make up themselves.

The only thing ive seen evidence for is cycles of the sun and planets in terms of influence on Earth, but this in fact has a bit to do with astrology and can be fascinating stuff

Biology. Women needed to be able to accept cultural bullshit instantly, no matter how absurd, because it historically boosted their survival rate during more tribal times. Women survive through passivity. Having their tribe destroyed by a more fit tribe isn't always the end for them. If they're lucky and can adapt quickly, they could be absorbed, and gain access to potentially more fit men in the process.
Men (from a historical, average perspective) bet everything on their home tribe and culture. They needed to form rigid beliefs based on what they observed to work best, and defend those beliefs viciously.
So women will parrot bullshit if it's pushed on them a little bit, while men are more critical once they form an internal model of the world they find to be consistent.

The influence is real but free will is the final deciding factor, just because there is an influence to do this and do that doesn't neccesarily mean the influenced action has to occur, this is why we have free will, a super majority of individuals whom believe in this, instead of acting out on their own free will instead let the influecnce of planetary forces decide their decision.

That's extremely late human history. A mere few thousand years ago. Prior to that, the men of a tribe would almost always be exterminated either through murder or exile. We can see a subtle biological consequence of this shift in our universal culture due to the advent of technology though. Men ARE becoming more passive as time goes on, but it's not really an active selective pressure. The traits of bullheaded aggression will decay through a slow extinction, and more autistic technical tendencies will fill the place. That's my prediction at least. This shit takes incredible amounts of time to actually produce a result in the absence of strong pressure.

Astrology is a fun mental game to play if you want to get good at Astronomy. Not only does it help you memorize actual useful astronomical information, but the lateral thinking is a fantastic exercise.

The problem is when people start talking about Astrology without knowing a damned thing about Astronomy. They mindlessly ignore axial procession and often ignore some of the more interesting planetary objects. The next time you hear someone say that they are a Sagittarius, a constellation classically ruled by Jupiter, ask them if they know a single one of the Galilean moons or what sort of alignment they were in at the time of their birth. Then tell them that they're probably actually a Scorpio, or even an Ophiuchus. Because a true Sagittarius would know.

I never said I was "better" any more than I think I am better than a dog (I do not, we are all life in this matrix according to our karmic cycle). I in fact value the lirfe of lower animals more than most humans. However I do know what they are and would subject myself to the misery of expecting a dog to be able to be taught to have conversations with me about video games and movies I like. You are simply setting yourself up for failure and disappointment by trying to turn something into what it is not.

I do know we are all one and understand your sentiments anon but you also have to know boundaries of what you are willing to try outside yourself because it will cause you a lot suffering if you do not understand the true nature of things. You don;t have to elevate yoursel above them, you just have to learn to let things be that are not meant to be, they have to make their own choices to increase their gnosis, you are not the messiah here to save their souls as Christards see themselves. I am just offering some advice to save yourself what is hard for the compassionate and enlightened to understand with "street preaching" to the profane.

The best bait thread in a while you got everything in the checklist
>pick an egotistical target that’s full of dunning Krueger
>say a retarded statement that’s obviously false
>let the replies fly in
>when they do get on proxy and fire back to each of them with ad hominem

bonus points if it’s about how men suck so you can summon the nu males

>thread gets bumped by retards not realizing they fell for bait and autist trying to tell them it’s bait (such as me)
>thread dies after you get all your (you)s
>profit


Overall an 11/10 bait. Would laugh at again.

Goddamn what a good way to get detailed info on easy marks. This is the kind of shit I was referring to in >>11299388. That site is essentially run by "dark occultists" who are trying to drain their fellow man of their mental energy and physical resources for personal gain. I filled out a form (with bogus info) and the workflow is like any other. I've worked in that industry and it sickened me enough to walk away from the incredible money. It was dirty money anyways. It didn't feel good. I took a job making far less, but my work is leveraged to help people rather than leech from them.
The people running that site are nearly as bad as the completely evil people who are running high powered marketing campaigns at Google, Facebook et al. Not quite, but close.

You're a pathetic worm.
I know it's really pointless getting angry at verminous insects such as yourself since you're incapable of caring, but it feels cathartic to do so all the same.

astrology is more a shotgun approach than anything else.

every personality "type" describes pretty much everybody, or at least how they want to see themselves. and if there's some noise in there, it's dismissed because most of it is right

It's so generic that it hit somewhat accurately 80% and has been demonstrated that planets don't influence behavior

>anon, your love life is... you will meet the love of your life very very soon, and maybe you already have!!! she's a leo by the way ;)
>oh, interesting... say, what did the professor just mention about stellar magnitude?
it's alright, it doesn't sound like you found her very attractive to begin with.
