I’ve come around to just feeling like it’s generally better than religion. Like I rather people have some goofy notions based on astrology, especially bc most people don’t take it seriously.

That said anyone who takes it seriously gives me the ick

Right? No one is going to war over gemini, just risking a happiness because a few bad relationships were coincidentally virgos.

My friends love it. I nod and smile and use retrograde as an exuse to stay in. 😂

Pro tip: You can always mention an asteroid or comet being in retrograde

All the supernatural stuff is the same tbh. Far too much influence in our society. I don't understand why single out astrology.

I don't know if astrology is really. What I do know is, if I was god and I had to make new soles every day I would automate that shit. The easiest way to do that would be to plug in date and time you were born to some sole making algorithm. The algorithm would probably be complexes, but the humans might figure out some common trends for sole made around the same time.

Provide literally any evidence a god or souls exist

You're pushing the issue back. Astrology isn't bullshit because you think it's reasonable for a god to create souls that way. But how do we know that god exists, and that he actually does create souls in this manner.

For anyone more familiar with Astrology, are the charts different for each hemisphere? If Astrology wanted to appear to be serious the charts should be reversed or at least different for the southern hemisphere.

The only thing that's useful is for some reason it's easier for me to remember someone's sign than it is to remember the month of their birthday

Unhinged posting, occuring withing the window of the full moon in Aquarius. It's okay baby, let it out. :p

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

It feels pointless to say this and not say all religion is bullshit, even though not all religion is right wing in the same way.

This is Sinophobic against the Chinese Zodiac. /S
