I definitely do not think astrology is real. I took an astronomy class last semester and they say since the universe is always expanding the sign houses are always changing. It's impossible to get an accurate "reading"

I once asked a professional astrologer and friend how he associated a particular sign with a specific personality trait and he said thousands of years of observation.

Then I asked how it got started with no millenium of observation for the first astrologers.

Then I asked where this huge data base of personality traits was stored.

Then I asked why people born at the same time and same latitude were nothing at all alike.

Then he asked me to leave.

He pointed to a thick book he had. Then I asked how he knew that to be true and why it contradicted other astrologer's thick books.

And then he gave me the boot.

The real key to astrology is picking your audience - this much he understood.

Which brings up a question I often return to due to my contact with humans: Why can't people admit they were wrong?

I have answered this issue many times. It is called temporal and emotional investment. A guy spend 30 year hunting Bigfoot and it finally dawn on him he wasted his life chasing a chimera. Easier to keep pretending than admit you totally fucked up.

Astrology is real to an extent,not based off people brain washing me , just from pure observation in relation to things like which signs go together and the four elements (Earth, Fire, Air, Water).

Of course it all goes much deeper then Astrology (Psychedelics and such)but on a day to day level and the way a being thinks or operates in day to day life there does seem to be some truth.
