Isn't it funny...

That the people who say astrology is nonsense are exactly the typical signs to say so.

Go ahead and guess which signs lol

[WildHairedWoman]

I'm guessing you are talking about Aquarius. I actually know people of all different astrological signs that say astrology is nonsense. I think it has more to do with what people pay attention to, regardless of their sun sign. Also, the sun sign is not the only thing that determines someone's attitudes in astrology. You are making it too simplistic.

I don't know if they are always the same sign, to be honest, I doubt that.
It has more to do how far someone has come with their personal & soul growth. Many people are still living in the old paradigm, in full 3D which is mostly from the head and what cannot be proven/measured isn't true.
Such people usually also think spirituality and energy work is mambo jambo. They're the ones who are most difficult for us Lightworkers to deal with, and it has been that way for thousands of years.
Thank goodness times are a changing!
But them all being specific signs, I doubt that.

I've been studying astrology for I don't know how many years and its difficult to explain to someone who doesn't know how complex astrology actually is...

I just find it funny how people with mostly earth in their birth charts are the ones who poke fun at me for believing the planets have any effect on our lives.

I'm an Aquarius with Scorpio moon and ironically I have a lot of Capricorn in my chart :P

Any religion or spiritual belief can be complex but that doesn't mean it has to be true..

The movement of Venus, Jupiter or Pluto don't impact our love life or career, neither do the ''signs'' mean much because they're just arbitrary lines drawn in the sky. Are those stars connected in a meaningful way?

Seeing earth signs as being the ones that don't believe in astrology is confirmation bias. I know a girl who's into astrology and she's an earth sign!!

Ya know what does matter a great deal to us though? The Sun and the Moon! Though not in the ''love life, career, money, etc.'' kind of way.

Okay, so I'm usually more the live and let go type but... Really ???

Tell me, if you despise astrology so much, why did you come on the perfectly well named "astrology" sub-forum in the first place anyway ?

Also, you really think she studied years to write 3 lines per week in a magazine ? But FYI, you're right ! Astrology cannot tell you about your future career, love life or money, because the impact of planets and the rest is on living creatures, even oceans react to it.

But seriously, again, if it's a subject that doesn't interest you or that you don't like, WHY berate someone else for it ?

First, I have a right to have an opinion on the matter and am free to express this. Whether you like it or whether it agrees with your beliefs in astrology is irrelevant. Hollyhock calls out people that don't believe in astrology. I explain my position as to why I don't believe in it.

Second, ''despise'' is a word you use, not me, therefore I feel no desire to waste time on your straw man here. I also don't ''berate'', which is a form of anger. If you think disagreement and formulating opinions that go against your own is ''berating'' than you got it wrong I'm afraid.

I am Taurus. I do love astrology! I have always done so too.

My son is Capri, he takes an increasing interest in it too. Knows quite a lot about it.

My daughter is Taurus, she does take a reasonable amount of interest in it.

My mother is Aquarius and knows next to nothing about it. She takes a mild interest because I like it and she can appreciate my stories, but she will not remember a thing of it. But she won't doubt or ridicule it either. She open-minded and knows there's much more between heaven & earth from me.

Not sure about my dad, he did know a lot about the stars. He was Virgo.

I had a former friend of mine that was a Capricorn and I have one cousin that is a Sagittarius who believe that Astrology is nonsense.

My Mom is a Sagittarius and she could care less about astrology she just reads about her horoscope for fun. My Dad is a Aries and he is into Astrology and other New Age aspects in general .

I tend to not discuss astrology with certain family and relatives anyway or other new age topics because they hae no interest in it.

I find it rather childish and arrogant to judge a person's development or growth by whether they believe in astrology or not. Just like i find it childish and immature to poke fun at others for believing in astrology.

I remember about 2 years ago coming to someone's defense on a different forum because he was being mocked and degraded for believing in astrology. Its perfectly find to not believe in it and express disagreement. Disagreement should be expressed. That's different from degrading or mocking someone.
