What Do You Think About Astrology?

Astrology to me is a metaphysical science. Like any thing you "believe" in it has to have a basis of "faith".

Having said that, do I take everything I am told about it whether via blog, word of mouth, Y/A astrology, etc...literally, NO. I explore it on my own and draw my own conclusions. As I've said in previous answers Plato, Galileo, Newton, Crowley, hell even Benjamin Franklin were all "astrologers". They discovered some of the cosmos and reported on it. You can refute that these were all great philosophers and scientist of their time.

When it boils down to it, astrology is so personal it's up to the individual to determine how they perceive it, use it and manifest it in their everyday lives. I don't hate on those "weekend" astrologers who read their horoscopes online or the newspaper. I don't hate on people who think astrology is B.S.

I say to each their own. Do what makes YOU happy and screw the rest of them.

I know there are some people out there who claim to has all the astrological answers and you are right, those are not the people to be trusted. And if you are studied and versed enough in astrology, it won't be hard to "see" those people for who they really are!

Like Dechovka said, Astrology has been a great help for me to understand myself and why I do what I do , I know there is free will involved and it is not an excuse or reason for something I have done but still I got to know I am more prone to certain things in this life.It also help me aware of my weakness and potential pitfalls and also my strengths so I can make good use of them. Astrology also helps me understand others better and how to relate to them . I am spiritual in a sense that I do follow some buddha teachings. Maybe I dont follow them full on now, but still I try to seek contentment in myself. I am also trying to understand that certain things in life do not appear as they are, most of the time, I seek for the true meaning behind everything people say or do or how things happen/turn out the way they do . I also believe in a higher being ( not neccessarily The God that we know about - man, this one is one irritated god - my way or the hight way road ) , this higher being for me is nature and karma. I believe there are things that we can not explain or take a hold. This higher being is universal and us , as individual human being , is wired or connected to each other this way. I believe in the union of the souls. I feel that we have many lives , when this life ends, we will continue to live another one, completely physically separated of this life, but the soul is still the same but lay dormat/sub-concious and if we are lucky, sometimes we may have a moment where we know we " have been there before " So in a way , spirituality and astrology is connected as everything else in the universe. In this case, the nodes have their role and also the moon and neptune , the 12th house....if we are able to full understand the 12th house and its planets placements....I think maybe we could take a peek into our own spirituality.

Astrology is a type of prophetic look into the future using the solar system and bodies in the sky. There are various types out there and by far most of the astrology that you'll find done is anything but real. Yet, true astrology is very perplexing because it can be very real. The celestial bodies can do many things like provide you with the ability to understand, to organize the knowledge, and to interpret the world around you. Often, it is said that the location of various bodies means something.

Traditionally, astrology is based on the relative positions and the movements of the celestial bodies (both real and non existent.) One of the main things that astrology claims to provide is an understanding of personality traits. It is believed that the positions of the celestial bodies in the sky influences many things such as your personality traits, your physical characteristics and even important things that will happen within your life. Some astrologers believe that each person has a predestined life and that that life can be reflected and told from the sky above.

Which one is the real one, if you can say astrology is real?

Simply just no evidence. Astrology is strictly a belief based on myth and superstition. Sort of like professional wrestling. We all know it's false but people still spend money on a lot of flash and made up acrobatics. But it makes lots money too. The money is always the key, astrology is a business, Millions are spent every year. If astrology did not make money, no one would bother.

The belief rate in the US is about 30%. So most people in the world seem to do fine without it. No believer of astrology is really interested in how, why, or if it works. Many people say here that they "study" astrology but never say how this is done. Some even claim they have put decades of time in this effort. Questions come to mind. How much the money astrology makes goes into research to solve the "mystery"? What are the results of this time and labor? Anyone close to producing evidence?

But astrology is also a soft belief. Easy to start and give up on. Well not for some people. Compared to other beliefs, such as religions or political, it does not go to extremes. Do you know of anyone willing to really go to extremes or fight for astrology? People fight and die for beliefs of religion, for their politics, civil rights, and other causes. Seems astrology is not worth proving or fighting for.

"In childhood our credulity serves us well. It helps us to pack, with extraordinary rapidity, our skulls full of the wisdom of our parents and our ancestors. But if we don't grow out of it in the fullness of time, our ... nature makes us a sitting target for astrologers, mediums, gurus, evangelists, and quacks. We need to replace the automatic credulity of childhood with the constructive skepticism of adult science."

I really believe in astrology and all that! :)

Like i have done my birth chart properly cos i think its really interesting when u find something and think 'omg thats totally right!'

im actually kinda surprised myself that i like it cos normally im really logical and mathematical and all that

i think its a cross between magic and maths

btw im 13 and an aquarius :)

I think it's accurate. That's all.

Why would crystals not be correct? If the changing of the Moon effects the tides of oceans, there must be some correlation with matter and the sky.

We Pisces don't believe in that crap.
