Confirmation bias? Selective perception, you know, being so invested in an idea that you only see what you wanna see? No disrepect to anyone who believes in astrology, but, what a fool believes, he see's.
To each his own, but I just dont buy into it. I've actually studied the subject for a lil while, I mean particular signs, decans, natal charts, aspects, houses, etc. Its like the deeper I got into it, the more it didnt make any sense. The deeper I looked the more contradictions I found. Once I got to the level of "progressed charts" or "progressed placements" I just gave up. That progressed chart philosophy pretty much states that you're not the sign you were when you were born, and that your sign (true sign for the current time) is wherever you progressed placement is. Just that assertation alone shows how rubbish that school of thought is imo. Too many contradictions, too much b.s. to navigate through. While studying it most of the shit I read was a hit or miss and could apply to most humans. "If you throw enough shit against a wall, some of it has gotta stick".
Another thing I noticed is that, like someone else stated, the science hasn't been refined in eons, so how could it be accurate considering the post sammyjax made.
I read about an experiment. A teacher looked up the astrology signs of every student in his class and printed out a description of each one (or something like that), gave it to each student, and then asked them what they thought.
Almost all the students agreed that the descriptions he made for them were spot on. He later revealed to them that they ALL were given the same manifesto.
After all I've seen in life I just cant respect it. I dont have anything against anyone who believes in it though.
