Why do people believe in this astrology crap and ****? Why would they?

I'm 16 (it's been a year since I asked a question) and even I think Astrology is bullcrap! It's bullshit. Astrology signs are so stupid and fake, they don't even really tell anything about yourself. My sign is Capricorn, yet I am not a know it all, I don't like quality craftsmanship (I am not into building), I do NOT dislike everything at some point (I still enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog even to this day), and I am not unforgiving (I don't forgive people easily, but I do forgive people who are willing to change). Not everyone has the traits, likes and dislikes their Astrology sign says.

I am not stopping people from what they believe but I think that Astrology is BS, and I am curious to know why people believe in it?

    Some people believe in it because they're fooled by the vague descriptions (so-called "psychics" work the same way). Others just want something to blame their bad choices on. But at the end of the day, astrology is fake.

    Because Astrology speaks the truth. Believing Astrology or not is your option, but you shouldn't judge others for believing astrology. Probably astrology isn't just for you, or maybe you're not a superstitious person, etc. But to me, astrology plays a big role in my life. It actually even changed my life for better. I mean, just observing people around me and investigating people's star signs have intrigued me because I love mysterious topics like horoscopes. For someone who puts 0 stock in astrology like you, they shouldn't even come to this horoscopes section and ranting about everything they see. Because horoscopes section is for people who want to learn more about astrology and that's why we're here in this section. And I understand why you think astrology is crap because you're a Capricorn. I know that Capricorns are very realistic people with practical and traditional views about life. Which means that you guys don't believe in any superstitions. Which is okay. Because believing in something or someone depends on each person since everyone is different.

    You're right. A Capricorn wouldn't have wasted time ridiculing other people's beliefs, because Capricorns always work towards their goal, instead of wasting time here whining. Capricorns are intelligent, they observe and speak wise words, unlike you here.

    It's not just about your sun sign. It's about your whole chart. I'm sure you're saying "Chart, what's that?" That tells me you've never delved into astrology at all.

    Why do you think you are a better person because you don't believe astrology?

    Like living in an evidence based world? Enjoy your science classes? Know how to think critically? Nothing wrong about that.

    Astrology gives people excuses for lack of personal responsibility. Believing is easy, takes no effort. Knowing takes some digging.

    Read that over a few times until it sinks in. You might not get it for a few years.
