When I dug astrology, bluntness like this was sometimes attributed to an influence of Sagittarius, the archer. But again, I don’t believe in such influences. I do believe that sometimes the Lord uses the stars as signs and this could have been wrongly reverse-engineered into astrology.
Astrology does not replace religion, but I believe people are a product of things related to their birth, and the gravitational pull on little neurons.
For example, I avoid certain signs like the plague.
