For all those who say astrology is fake- how can something that has been around longer than religion be fake?
And if it is fake- why so many heads of states (or churches) have and astrologer on the pay-roll?
Yes- there are those people who say that they are astrologers and will take your money- but are there no people like that in every industry?
Just look at the banking industry these days!
People who say it is ‘made-up nonsense’ has no idea how complex a system that astrology is and to fully understand astrology take years of study.
It must also be said that there are many different kinds of astrology.
Traditional astrology is more like what was used back 600-700 years.
Modern astrology is what is now mainstream and what is usually referred too when some one asks, "What’s your sign?"
Astrologers look to stars which are really planets. The signs are not made up- they are 12 sections of the sky that form a circle- this is called the Zodiac. The Zodiac holds the constellations, these are the stars that make up the signs.
The planets all move through the zodiac and depending on where they are depends on the type of energy exerted.
There is a formula to each.
Each planet has a manner of being, when in a sign, it exerts that manner with the energy of the sign.
It is like the actor in a roll.
The Sun sign is the Inner/Ego of a person
The Moon is the emotional/needs of a person.
Each planet has a part of a person, Mercury-communication and thinking, etc…
When a planet is in a sign, that part is given a ‘method of operation’.
Emotional/needs Moon-
If the Moon is in Taurus, this person is a hopeless romantic
If the Moon is in Scorpio, the person likes to express their emotions in a sexual manner.
If Moon is in Capricorn, the person is looking for long-term and not just an fling.
etc…
After having a meaning for each planet and the sign that it is in, then the astrologer will look at ‘Houses’ and ‘Aspects’.
So there is A LOT to astrology.
Mostly, it’s based on bronze age spiritualistic bull?hit. Ancient people looked up in the sky, and they thought they saw meaningful patterns, so they started long traditions of trying to predict events on Earth based on how these patterns changed over time. Now, a whole lot of new age morons think they can predict the future or improve their luck in life by using these ancient techniques, despite the fact that there is virtually no scientific basis for any of this stuff.
Superstitions, ignorance and con artists.
Astrology is based on the movements of the five ancient planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and the Sun and Moon through the constellations of the zodiac. Different cultures have different zodiacs. The Chinese have somewhat different zodiacal constellations than the ancient Sumerian – Babylonian – Greek – Roman zodiac constellations that many people in the Americas are familiar with.
Astrology is a collection of stories, systems, beliefs, myths, and traditions that claim that the relative positions of celestial bodies can provide useful information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters.
It has little or no scientific basis, it is not recognized by scientists as a legitimate scientific study.
No, they don’t just make up signs (at least not anymore) – there is a strict "discipline" to the whole thing.
astrology is based on the inherent gullibility of people.
this is rather high… consider, for example, religion. For thousands of years people have bought the line that if they do what they are told, that when they die they will be rewarded. HUH? I have to wait until I am dead? Yup. Oh, okay.
So it should be no surprise that something as simple as the stars influencing your life could be swallowed hook, line and sinker. At least in astrology, you don’t have to wait until after you are dead to "meet a tall dark stranger."

fraud. gullibility. pedophilia.
When the sun is in Leo, the weather in the northern hemisphere is likely to be warm. When the sun is in Sagittarius, the weather in the northern hemisphere is likely to be cold. When the moon is in opposition to the sun, expect greater ease of movement during the night time hours. Unusually high tides can be expected when the moon is either new or full. When a comet appears, enemies may be thinking about attack (because other astrologers will be whispering war in the foreign king’s ear).
Astrology is based on the superstition that stars and planets somehow influence your life. This is not true. It’s been known not to be true for many centuries, but people keep falling for it for some reason. It’s a superstition, not a science.
It was used to explain the world due to the predictability of certain parts of the sky that coincided with seasons and patterns.
Yes, they pretty much just make sh*t up. There is nothing more to it.
It’s based upon the stars and ancient beliefs. Ancient as in Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman beliefs. Their belief is the stars (astrology) is peppered throughout their literature.
Astrology is base on old traditions people had before we actually knew how the world worked. In the past people tried to explain their world, but most (if not all) of it is made up.
Stars are grouped in the sky according to constellations to aid persons in locating certain stars or a compass direction.
As the year passes, a different constellation will rise in the east on the morning horizon.
Astrology divides these constellations into 12 ‘zodiac signs’. So depending upon what ’sign’ is rising on the horizon during your month of birth will determine what your sign is.
Astrologers then believe that these stars and where the planets are and the Moon and Sun during your time of birth determines your personality traits.
This is not science.
Astronomy split from astrology in the 1500s because it was well known that astrology had no basis in science truths.
Astrologers still use Pluto as a planet and there is major controversy as to whether the current signs are incorrect due to calendar revisions.
Astrologers then combine the places of the planets and stars when you were born to where they are located now to provide you with a ‘forecast’. Always being sure to cover themselves if nothing comes true with the catch ‘the stars impel they do not compel’. A more intriguing way to say – ‘hey, so we were not right but thanks for the money anyway’.
There is an astrology category in y/a.
