Nope. I’m definitely a Virgo, not Leo.

On the plus side as worthless as astrology is it won’t screw you life up nearly as much as a shrink will.

What sign were you conceived under?

So, now I’m a Scorpio instead of Sagittarius.

Well, that explains everything!

No longer being a Scorpio has left me unbalanced. Oh the irony.

[airborne]

So you’re telling me I’m a Sagittarius and not a Capricorn???

I have to rethink my entire life choices now!

What do astrologers do now that Pluto was kicked out of being a planet because it wasn't vaccinated?

Does that mean the predictions made before when it was a planet are inaccurate? Are there still astrologers that consider it a planet?

[Boogieman]

I’ve tried to explain this to people, and they often default back to “well the planets have a gravitational influence on us”.

But if that was the basis for astrology, all they would be concerned with was where the moon was, since the moon’s gravitational influence is greater than all the planets combined. Yet they never care about that.

It’s all silly though, since astrology was invented when nobody knew anything about radiation, or gravity. It was a “mystical” science back then, and it still is just mysticism.

Are geminis allowed to use the carpool lane by themselves?

[nickcarraway]

But some people who believe in it may allow the power of suggestion to actually influence outcomes?

[Boogieman]

Sure, but that’s no different than the “power of positive thinking”, “visualization” or any number of other “self help” games.

And that’s if we just discount all the harm it can do. For example, what if someone won’t date a person because “our signs aren’t compatible”? That may have been the perfect match for them, but they’ll never know because they let themselves get bamboozled.

They’re waxing and waning not knowing where to wax or wane.

I agree about the harm.

If someone doesn't want to date me because of Zodiac signs, they probably aren't for me.
