Is Acting on Someone's Star Sign Considered Manipulation? *DELETED*

Reason for deletion: irrelevant
-------------------- For years on end I have been sitting here, impatiently awaiting potency: some explosive revelatory surge that will carry me away and permit no looking back. But this moment of deliverance has not arrived, and I have done nothing to hasten it. Perhaps it doesn’t matter. Perhaps I wasn’t meant to do anything. In which case, I have succeeded admirably.

It would be if you consider astrology a science. But since it is pseudoscience, I have a bridge to sell you if you are interested.

On a more serious note - I fucking dig Leo's myself. Being a water sign the passion just works. There's something too all this star sign lark, I've no doubt - but to place your entire stock on it??
I think you should re-evaluate from a more empathetic perspective.

If it's true, it would make no sense not to place your entire stock on it.
If it's false, it makes no sense to place any of your stock in it.

Then it's like playing roulette, where you have close to 50% odds. Best to write the horoscopes yourself if that's the case, because the house always wins.
Alternatively, if we're taking 50% odds, we might as well flip a quarter before making decisions. In this case, we should be in the business of writing horoscopes as well, because the people who make the quarters have a lot more quarters than I do.

No especially because your limited perspective restricts you to only her Sun sign
What I'm saying is you're just an idiot, not someone with any extraordinary insight

I think that's a bit unnecessary. Please refrain from name calling round here, it aint welcome, and will result in your privilege of posting here being removed.

So you would promote the courting of women based on the knowledge of their birthday? What kind of advice is that compared to my own?

I'm just saying don't call someone an idiot, just because their views don't align with your own.
You might find that OK to do IRL, or in other forums, but I'll not have it here in S&R. If you want to disagree with OP, please be constructive, not slanderous.

I respect you for not banning me, and also I'd like to point out that my statement of op being am idiot wasn't based on my own opinion of astrology being bunk in general, I actually studied birth charts for many years, but rather based on my own knowledge of the subject, that being that a personality is judged not only on the Sun, but on all placements within a chart concerning a particular date time and location of birth

There's nothing wrong with it
Once I see someone's chart, I automatically start acting differently around them. I get sucked into it, it's not something I can control, once I have the knowledge
It comes in layers/pieces and is more pronounced over time
I get to learn more about astrology by having these experiences
Even if you're just going by sun sign it's significant
I leave a different person...kind of like how actors are permanently transformed by the roles they play...recovering pieces of myself
I think it works out to everyone's benefit though...the other person is getting a custom fit

The word benefit wasn't used, rather the word manipulation, which I'd hope you would agree changes the scope of your perception of the circumstance

And that's cool, I don't buy it 100% either, but nothing surprises me any more. Perhaps there's something to it, perhaps not, perhaps a little. It's not our place to know, just to share. Passing judgement is for suckers and fools.

And in particular trying to manipulate based on but a small portion of this supposed practice in a fools errand
That being said I hope op gets that pussy, but for real you gotta have a lil better game than this, and I do not agree with using this knowledge to manipulate anybody

And if you read OP carefully, you see he is trying to manipulate no one. He is asking for opinion.
Not judgement.

I honestly wish more people used zodiac signs to understand people better. OP this is no different than reading her facebook and changing how you act in what you learn from there. It's public info.
That being said the definition of manipulation is "control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly, unfairly, or unscrupulously."
So yeah technically you're being manipulative. But as long as you aren't making up loads of bullshit and doing a 180 on your personality you aren't being any more manipulative than anyone else is.
