my only issue with astrology is when people use it to excuse their poor behaviour and judge people based on their signs. i like astrology, i think it's cool. but really, shit's gotta stop at a certain point. edit: i've worded out my comment wrongly. no, i don't have an issue with astrology but i have an issue WITH people misusing astrology by judging people solely based on that. and it's cool if you believe in it. i don't and i won't ever. which is also fine. just respect each other down there.
@Angel Frost The thing is that how you're educated is a big factor in one's behavior and attitude. But astrology is not about that. Astrology is not predicting either. Yes, people predict by using astrology. And yes, sometimes it's not accurate, because online horoscopes are general info graphics, that are supposed to give you a bigger picture. But there is so much more to each of our astrological charts, not just our sun sign. And astrology is a way of sensing someone's character and temper. Not behavior or attitude. Not the same thing. And people who excuse themselves through their archetype are just not conscious of what it all really means. And that's the result of not looking closer and researching. I use astrology to understand myself and others, so that I can empower people. And I use it to take a better approach on improving myself. Because astrology doesn't just give me a trait or a flaw, it tells me why I have that and how I naturally perceive it. The moment I realize how I work, I can change. And that's what people aren't told in horoscopes.
@Angel Frost it's ok. we all have our own beliefs and that's why i never enforce mine on others. i'm glad you're open to these subjects, though. no matter on what scale. and i am here just as open :)
I feel like the whole point of learning about astrology is that you do some introspection. You learn about yourself. Learn about why certain things make you feel a certain way. Why you can’t really vibe with some people. You learn about your good and bad qualities. Realizing what you’re undeveloped qualities and bettering yourself.
Some people do judge others, but I for one have learned to understand people better from the beginning. I'm not assuming I know them, like how their childhood was or what they usually eat for dinner. I get a sense of their character and temperament. And I can decide for myself, after I get to know them a little better, if I want to keep in touch or distance myself. Most of the time it has nothing to do with who they are, it's about who I am. And I believe that at an unconscious level, we all do that, through judging. Some people just don't have this ability under control.
What I hate the most about astrology is people putting you in a box effortlessly, then never change their mind or simply can't accept that they're wrong.
Astrology is complex. It’s not meant to put you in a box. Only folks that have a shallow understanding would put you in box. Though we all exhibit patterns of behavior, and self-expression. The zodiac signs are based on geometric points to showcase potentials over time. Also, you have an entire natal chart too. Which uses spherical geometry, spherical trigonometry, and projective geometry. Idk. I feel many people are misunderstanding it. Astrology is not science. But it’s surprisingly mathematical. It seems people focus on the symbol. Like a Gemini. Without knowing the real definition behind a Gemini. Leading to stereotypes.
@@empyrean196 it doesn’t work if you have just 1 brain cell you know astrology is such a bs if you still need a moon sign or a sun sign to complete your true personality or some shit than basically ofc most of it will be true because each sign has a 50% fit to everyone personality imagine 3 more sign it a 150% correct it nth magic seem like a fking tool used to make money or some shit
@@saysamnang9851- It’s just not for you apparently. No you can’t group them either. If you actually understood them in depth. I can accurately guess elemental signs. You know. Fire. Earth. Water. Air. I may not get there specific zodiac(sun)sign. But I can usually tell the element behind their sign. Sun sign is how you behave. Moon sign is how you feel. Two different things. Just by how your texting. I’ll say your an air sign. But we’re not face to face.
@Mike Kane- Ok. You’re clearly unwilling to understand a subject on its terms. It’s not for everybody. Astrology is about potentials. It’s never claimed to be a science. But it does utilize mathematics and symbolism. Even intuition. For the purpose of pattern recognition. Almost a top-down thinking approach. You have the 12 houses. Which your planets sit in different houses depending on hour of birth. Your planets in their signs. Depending on actual date/location of birth. Than your aspects between planets. Like a square, opposition, sextile, or trine. You’re misunderstanding. I’m not putting boxes. Only making connections. Like a mesh structure. While your just seeing the holes. Confirmation bias is about is finding proof of your own ideas/beliefs. I could argue that same bias against you. We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
Astrology is not horoscopes only. It's much more difficult than you think, because we all have different natal charts, which is based in the time and zone we were born. IS not only I'm a libra so I make friends easily, is deeper.
Exactly! Just thinking about it logically we can say that only looking at your zodiac signs, you will never get the full picture. Only 12 signs for 7 billion people.....of course their horoscopes will have a high chance of not coming true because that's a huge generalisation. We need to dive deeper for astrology to really show what it can do for us
LivTheTiger yeah that’s jsut an excuse and hella toxic behaviour, astrology would probably predict that said person would have seasons where they get angrier than usual, but it’s only so the person themselves is WARNED about it, and does something abt it, not jsut take it and use it as a lazy excuse
I also think it's bad that people use it to generalize others - if you think someone is not complex, it is that much easier to be prejudiced against them.
I understand where you’re coming from. But if it weren’t for those things I wouldn’t have known about my sun sign at a young age. It’s like an advertisement to astrology. At least it shows people what their sun sign is so they have a basic understanding & I’m Sure that the majority of astrologers came across astrology for the first time when They saw their sun sign in a magazine or something. But yes astrology is a lot more complex than just the sun sign & It is a shame that a lot of people think astrology is just that (their sun sign).
I don’t take astrology literally, in my mind, it’s more like representations of different archetypes of humanity and the different states of being one can be in. It’s actually interesting if you approach with an open mind.
Astrology is pretty fun, and you could learn a few things about yourself (not because of stars and stuff but because you ARE thinking about yourself), but it should just be considered as that, a fun little thing to do.
You're making a whole bunch of common logical fallacies when you think things like that-- human rational is incredibly fallible. Critical thinking skills need to be learned.
we all have that one friend that bases everything on their astrological sign, to the extent that they'll refuse to do something just because "i'm a -insert sign here-." Astrology is a tool that helps people, but it shouldn't limit you on who you can be or what you can do.
Exactly, astrology isn't a bad thing per se but there are literally people who get rejected by someone just because "ThEy ArEn'T cOmPaTiBlE". Like, if that ain't the dumbest shit then idk what is
The way I see it.. if you think about it on a fundamental level, astrology is just a reflection of the rhythms of the earth and how they influence a developing mind to form its personality. This is especially apparent with the sun sign; the sun influences the seasons, the seasons influence the weather and how we react to our environment, and a small little human brain soaks all those influences up and develops its identity around it. That’s why Scorpio reflects the death cycle of summer into fall. That’s why Taurus reflects the sensual and creative principle of the first true buds of spring. That’s why Capricorn represents the hardship and struggle of the middle of winter. That’s why Leo represents the vibrancy, glow, and heat of summer. Etc... It’s all just rhythms and archetypes. Science is prone to looking down on it because it doesn’t value knowledge that does not fit into its systems. It’s just a different type of knowledge, one just as valid, albeit a bit more fluid.
@@namiimercurii1483 Countries in the southern hemisphere that are western still have oppossite seasons, how can you explain that? So Leos here are born in winter, they adquire Aquarius aspects or something?
Hi Naya I am absolutely resonating with you!. Top comment! I have subscribed to your channel. Please do leave me a comment if you find any of my content interesting! I am looking forward to watch more of your own content!Cheers.
@@carsonpoturalski1871 you dont know that we are spritual beings and we are ruled by the placement of stars and planets. We need to priorities astrology instead of watching kuwtk.
If astrology isn’t real how do you explain Aquarius’s and Scorpios? (Edit: honestly this comment was all for fun some people take things way too seriously. Learn to respect other people’s beliefs/opinions)
zan palmeri It was created years ago to explain things that they didn’t understand back then. We have science now that we can back up with facts. astrology has no facts
Here's the thing; We literally have the essence of stars and the power of the universe flowing in our bodies. So while I'm not exactly the kind of person who looks into a crystal ball with dreads, I think we're far more connected than we realize.
Plus there's the whole "the moon affects our water and we're 70% water" shpiel. However I personally am content to accept that astrology isn't quite a science, and never really will be. In my eyes, it kind of sits between religion and science. A middle ground, if you will.
I can agree with this. The chinese four pillars takes the exact time and date to the minute to determine personality and fate and I’ve seen it be so accurate 85% of the time. My whole family has done it and it is sometimes so specific it really doesnt make sense. Can’t be solved by science just like the meaning of life.
Mervin alexander This could be a very long debate that people much smarter than us of been having for all of time, but to answer your specific point briefly: with how much we know about how perfectly every iota of the world we know works together systematically, it does take more faith to believe that it’s an accident. So many innumerable things from the micro to macro require all the pieces to be there in order to function; nothing of what we see would have worked in any way unless it had all been there from the start. It’s not believing in some magical mystical voodoo daddy with no shred of evidence; of course that is stupid. The argument is that the complexity of the world can only be logically ascribed to an intelligent designer. Nothing comes from nothing.
I believe that astrology maybe can't predict stuff like it tries to do in horoscopes (like "you're going to find the love of your life tomorrow") but it definitely affects people's personality and behavior. Astrology has helped me to understand myself better, it made me see things about my personality that I didn't see before, and it's great. It has also helped me understand others, and how I can communicate with them.
It's a vague make believe, that would make you understand yourself as much as any other person. Good for you, but you'll rethink it if you'll ever stop needing therapy
Exactly on point man I never used to believe in it n I'm a pretty critical person n won't believe just anything but since the start of this year I really researched n studied it obsessively all the time looking at hundreds of different celebrity birth charts n my family including myself n it still blows me away even now n I've learnt almost everything there is to learn about it, the planets, signs, houses, n planet aspects that all mean different things in fact I've guessed people's signs so many times just by seeing there face n I've been right dozens of times, I can spot a cancer easily cause there face is usually round n they look quite emotional u can spot an Aries cause usually their aggressive competitive n have a leader quality to them n it helps u to understand others way better too n now I get myself better but I think it's dangerous if u let it control ur life I have to be careful cause of my obsessive compulsive personality n yes my birth chart literally has a bunch of placements that indicate an obsessive personalty, sun square Pluto, mercury square Pluto, moon conjunct pluto, Venus sextile Pluto n Mars trine Pluto, n sun mercury in the 8th house in pisces, the 8th house is the Scorpio house n Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio n Pluto is the planet of power obsession n compulsive tendencies even though I don't have Scorpio having ur sun n mercury there in this house makes u a lot like a scorpio
People are acting like this is crazy or something or saying bullshit like " planets dont affect us" , the moon affects water here on earth alot , it isnt crazy to think that it can affect us too since our body is made off 70% of water.
So smart girl yes I agree am Virgo and I am interesting in astrology and I learn almost everything about that and I am shock . If you want to learn like deep for good a astrology.. Horoscope you becuz it's really reallly HARD but I am so glad that I know enough about astrology. What is your sign?

True, but sometimes those correlations can lead to finding causes. For instance, there really is a statistically significant percentage of those with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder being born between January-March, and this was discovered back in the 90's. It's only now that it's being looked at again instead of dismissed. There are theories that it could be linked to lack of vitamin D in winter months prior to or just past birth. Or perhaps the increase in flu cases during the winter months could be part of it. Or something else that hasn't been thought of yet. Mental illness is incredibly complicated already, between genetics and environment. But if there are other factors involved, it's good to take a look. I'd rather it be investigated, than dismissed as woo-woo because it might be seen as giving legitimacy to astrology. If it turns out that giving pregnant moms and babies an extra shot of vitamin D would help bring those percentages down, then that's a whole generation of people that got missed because it was summarily dismissed until now.
I love this video so much. It’s understanding and not patronizing. I am a fan of Astrology but I don’t consider it a science and I appreciate him catching the nuance by saying that viewing it as a science may not be the right way. It’s more of a spiritual practice
It's science just cause you can't understand the deeper aspects of it and it's not limited to sun signs and moon signs, it's much deeper and it's a complex science.
@@desp8161 of course there is proof. The thing is astrology originated in India, thousands of years before "Babylonians". It's called jyotish shastr and the very first text or scripture on astronomy is Surya Siddhanta. Read about it, also I am not a fan of western astrology because people just know the very basics of what it's about and they try it out. People use it nowadays to earn money rather than solve problems which was originally why it was derived. Like I said, read about Indian Vedic Scriptures although it would take you more than one lifetime to go through all of them.
@@ManshatheOG Please provide a peer reviewed scientific paper. Otherwise it's bougus. I could say the 3rd letter if your mother's name dictates your personality and behaviour and simply claim "it's a deeper thing than you'd understand".

I hate how so many people judge astrology when they don't know anything about it. edit: I was raised with it and know a lot more than most people (grew spiritual, etc...). I know that Astrology is so much deeper than what people put on social media. It's more than the idealism on social media (It telling you about your love life, etc...). Yes, you could see about your love life but Astrology is for self discovery, self-understanding and to know the shadow part of us and whatever else there is, everyone can use Astrology for whatever they want. It's okay if you don't want to believe planets or comets have any effect on us. I simply dislike how people believe they know everything about Astrology because they know their sun sign... I dislike that people judge it even though they don't know what they are judging. You don't have to like it, just don't judge because it's unknown to you. Astrology has been around for thousands of years and has only recently been making a comeback.
To be fair, if you dislike it, you won't, and I mean you _won't,_ learn much about it. I know nothing of religion because that topic is a touchy subject to me, I dislike it (not attacking religious people, you do you boo). If I were forced to take a class in religion? I'd still learn nothing from it, because I'd be playing with my pencil or doodling on the tests the majority of the time.
So TL;DR Astrology was disproved hundreds of years ago, but it supposedly isn’t completely untrue because some Americans still talk about their signs today.
Ffs Newton didn't "debunk" astrology. He just started to understand it symbolically and intuitively rather than rationally. He also wrote about alchemy and theology more than physics.
This comment will probably get buried but if anyone is interested, look into vedic astrology. That method reads the sky differently so your sun sign will seem whacky, but it's even more in depth then western astrology. They have divisional charts, dasas, nakshatra, etc, and is a little more scientific then just seeing your chart and houses since they also calculate things about early/later life and time periods within your life.
Western Traditional Astrology draws from the same well but uses the Tropical Zodiac instead of the Sidereal. Remember astrology came to the West via the Silk Road and the Mediterrean, so Vedic Astrology and traditional Western Astrology are brother and sister.
psa: you have more than one sign, even then, still look at your houses, what planets are in the houses, what planets are in a certain sign (so you can know what to expect the next couple of months as of your personality), current retrogrades etc. there’s a lot but it’s so interesting how your personality aligns with the planets and how they’re acting
astrology is harmless, i dont get why nonbelievers attack us for something we like doing, we dont come up to you with your ideas calling you loud names for something we find interest in. yeah astrology is bs, but it makes me connect in life and has helped me make a better impact in myself what i need to work on to be a better person, twitter and insta astrology isnt real astrology, its memes, just like the other things you post on social medias that are memes, go into the studies in a different level than a one page level.
Because there are people who try to push it as a science (for real). To be scientific you need a whole lot of factors, and Astrology has as much as the Flat Earth in SCIENTIFIC terms (long long story about what science theories, observations and etc. mean). That, however, does not give anyone the right to mock or diminish your beliefs. I think it's a case where the scarce understanding that people generally have of what science means is shown, and the own people who should teach and explain it instead are just rude and arrogant. Also, there's a reason why people wrongly think it's science, and it has to do with their governments bad educational programs (or not good enough) and the scientists theirselves (that don't dialogue enough with society, especially physicists)
@Arthur Dent Doesn't matter, truth is truth, you can just look into astrology yourself, or check out the gauquelin effect. it's easy to see it's real. I guess people's main signs accurately. their main 3 or 4 signs that's one chance in 1000 on average. How do you explain that?
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "does astrology work for marriage" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Peyoraan Aristocratic Preponderance - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is a good one off guide for discovering how to find out your lucky day to win big in life using this astrology based system minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
I really hate when people assume astrology is only about 12 zodiac signs. "Oh, so you're Sagittarius guy? You should not go with Gemini girl." Then it's no different than MBTI. That's shallow and lazy. I love astronomy, astrology (western and Chinese), and mythology, and read a lot about them. Yes, astrology is still not considered science. But I tried different approach to it : psychology. I think, astrology can be used to read human behaviour, motivation, positive traits, negative traits, etc. Like psychology, its information can be used to better oneself. And like psychology, it needs a lot of observation.
@@vijetatayade6313 It is, if one knows the functions well. There are so many bad MBTI tests around. The tests should've been Ti/Te, Fi/Fe, Si/Se, Ni/Ne, and the stacks. With this, the test can show if there's some kind of imbalance. On the other hand, most MBTI tests are comparing strength of I/E, N/S, T/F, P/J which is very misleading if one does not recognize him/herself.
Ok well I’m just gonna say it. Every single two faced person I ever met was a Gemini. (THERE ARE SOME VERY ANNOYING BUTTHURT PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD SO LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT THIS IS TO BE TAKEN AS A JOKE, NOW PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING IF YOURE GONNA REPLY THAT IM A B*TCH BECAUSE YOURE A GEMINI AND YOURE THE NICEST PERSON ON EARTH THANK YOU)
Jack Meli Oh I’m not saying every Gemini is like that, it’s just that everyone I met who had narcissistic tendencies was a Gemini 😌 i mean even Donald Trump is a Gemini 😂😂
@@VilyRose I agree. I don't know about being too faced. But they're typicals of telling you how much they like you at your face and then ruining your reputation when you're not watching. I would never trust a gemini. Hahaha and also did you see what Chris Pratt did? When he became hotter he left his wife and went for a younger and more beautiful girl. Typical of a gemini. Scott from the Kardashians did the same thing to Kourtney. They always want this kind of women who are "open minded" because they are natural cheaters and they expect their girlfriends to don't care...
They do that in vedic astrology. But I thought it was because people give more priority to their career path and relationships than other parts of the chart
Nah. From my experience, its the sun. I've seen too many go into relationships and click with people based on that, only for them to form a deeper relationship and their incompatible sun signs ruin things.
I'll give an example, my friend is a taurus sun, Leo moon and rising. Say hypothetically, she runs into a triple sagittarius (sun, moon and rising). Based on compatibility, they should be good together if we take your theory into consideration, but i know her well and she might attract that sagittarius, but she is very stubborn, not very receptive to change, won't travel spontaneously, can be selfish when it comes to her comfort, is stingy with her possessions, and has a more materialistic mindset. None of these things are compatible with the sagittarius personality.
@Manuel yo dude, let people be into astrology. you may not believe it but others do, just let people do whatever the hell they want. as long as people ain't hurting anyone or themselves you shouldn't care about what they do.
So may I please have a peer-reviewed study on the correlation of astrological predictions to reality? Make sure that there are large sample size and a control group. I legit can't find any as a fellow Indian. Even if it isn't 100% right, it can still have an 80% correlation. But I can't find any.
I came across astrology late in my life and I have to say I was blown away. All the study of my theme was done by myself and I never paid anyone for information. Being of a very introspective nature but also very skeptical, as always I decided to see for myself the veracity or not of this field. I tell you without any hesitation, my birth chart carries with it my personality and my wounds and even my family history. And it really came as a shock to realize that astrology was so much more than a story of fake clairvoyant horoscopes and quack predictions. Even things that didn't make me happy and yet were necessary for me to understand. I'm really sad that people aren't more curious than that, a saying goes that there are two ways of looking at life, the first is that everything is a miracle, the other that nothing ever is . I don't think either of them is really right.
when put to the test, this same information that was given to you also pertains to almost everyone else. try this test. print different horoscopes of your liking of each sign and try to find yours blindly, this test has been done multiple times and it always, always fails
OMG YES! I to have delved deep into it and not just on the mainstream superficial level but I've analyzed my moon and ascendant and all my house placements and bro! It was a Huge eye opener to me the amount of stuff they were accurate about was almost scary I am now a complete believer in astrology.
@Stephanie Stepanyan im not religious and even if i was it wouldn't make your claim that astrology is true actual truth. It would be deflecting the conversation. Yes Astrology has been proven absurd by science, there is now way the orientation of stars at the time of your birth have anything interlinked never mind that they have serious power over every persons personality. This is the closest thing to magical thinking just like in religion.
Yes it does and it’s very frustrating that no one ever mentions how things work in the Southern Hemisphere lol it’s the same for holidays, Halloween come from the autumn equinox traditionally thus the pumpkins etc but we celebrate it in spring in the Southern Hemisphere Just Because everyone else does. It drives me crazy 😂
@Aleksey Razumov no you can use it as a guide because clearly your simple enough for an app to tell you who you are but you cant use no chart to tell a who a real person is quit being fooled by yourself
I wouldn’t let astrology rule over my life. I think it is fun and interesting. What I LOVE about astrology is the IDEA of having a direct connection with the stars and other planets, with nature and so on. That’s what makes it so amazing, I think.
how do you really have a direct connections with the starts. some of those stars could have been dead millions of years ago the day you were born, but it took the light to reach earth that long (giving you the illusion that they still exist). Astrology is nothing but idiocy.
@@user-nm7mf2cf6j there are many other ways you can get connected to the past. if you really love the stars and the universe, you can try studying astronomy. astrology is nothing but a vague description of events with nothing to back it up.

i always try to explain this to people, ive been slowly studying astrology more and more over the past 5 years and i don’t necessarily believe in it on a scientific standpoint but i love it so much because as someone who has struggled with social connections and verbalizing what’s going on in my head, it helps to give me a language that has helped me open up and discover myself and lean into who i am.

I like looking into astrology and I find the whole idea kind of fun especially when I actually resonate well with my sign in some aspects. But just like religion, I'd rather not take anything too seriously and your sign or someone else's sign shouldn't limit what you can and cannot do in life. At least that's my personal take.
Rather a blind spot somewhere between them formed due to the inablity of science and religion to explain why things happen. Srsly those who believe it are dumb

When I was little, I read up on Scorpio because people around me, without knowing when I was born, kept asking me if I was a Scorpio since I seemed very Scorpionic. I never trusted horoscopes since I found them so vague and nor care about trying to predict things anyways, but I did find an uncanny resemblance with myself and what was described in Scorpio. I later learned what cold reading was and how astrology and especially horoscopes use it to get broad, vague, but somewhat accurate predictions and got diagnosed with autism. Me having little to no interest in people, only ever read Scorpio and did use it to gain a pretty good understanding of myself pretty early on. Once my little interests in people started to give me problems, the ideas sparked through reading Scorpio did give me some language to work off of that did end up serving me quite well. Ideas such as intimacy, layers or protective walls, intensity, and natural "sting" against people I felt no connection to became handy when trying to navigate through the backwardness of social interaction and culture, as well as my natural tendency to be off putted by things others find attracting and vice versa. While I think this astrology stuff is mostly pretentious and non-scientific, I think there is some value in the ideas it raises and language it contains in order to achieve self-discovery and social understanding and navigation, but I never counted on this stuff on its own as I read up basically anything for me to understand the ever ubiquitous and ever backwards social sphere.
Sgt.Blaze clearly you don’t know what astrology is and you’ve never had a proper chart reading. You will get there. After your Saturn return. Mark my word in your calendar.
VIII Maus you are not even worth my time. Read a few of your comments. What a low level troll you really are. And so disrespectful to 99% of pioneers and scholars of history, all of whom were mystics and astrologers, polymath and poets, right brain and left brain. You really have a very small mind. I truly feel sorry for you.
Saying astrology has important history is not a valid reason to excuse how fake it is. People saying the Earth was flat presumably contributed to the discovery of the Earth being round, but we don't believe that the Earth is flat because of its history.
Astrology has nothing to do with seasonal personality effects. Opposite signs would experience the same effects on the opposite hemisphere. Also, what about those born on the equator?
Thats a good point yo así an astrologer about. But the video wasnt wrong about what it said. The thing is tropical astrology ( western traditional astrology) does declare to work that way. The problem is they stoped listening to science before the western culture find out that the world had a south half where seasons where different, so they never Cate to answer these cuestions since astrologers begin going by dogma and belief insted of evidence.
They do, it’s called light and our sun emits a lot of it. If the sun doesn’t change your mind than no star will. Any evidence of the sun changing peoples personalities other than “It’s too hot”?
@@dnd6379 well theirs plenty of evidence that amount of sunlight does effect mood. High amounts of sunlight can make people more positive while lack of sunlight is heavily correlated with depression. In polar region's of the world like Alaska is when you see this in it's most extreme. Because the sun is out all summer and it's endless night all winter. When it's this extreme they call it Seasonal affective disorder. It's so bad that suicide during winter in polar region's are extremely high. I personally do think astrology is right about stars, the sun, moon and planets do effect our behavior but I think that it's been taken overboard and fill with made up crap because astrology was developed before the scientific method.
Extremely biased, one of the most notable and best regarded astronomers of ancient history were Mayans and pre-hispanic cultures. Not even one mention. Great video coming from a so called "progressive" channel.

I find astrology to be incredibly fascinating and helpful when it comes to developing your self-awareness. I believe our birth charts act as mirrors and ask you to take a deeper look into our characteristics and psyche. It encourages growth and introspection by highlighting the parts of your character that may need extra work and focus in order to reach your highest potential. Horoscopes are false the majority of the time because you'll have one person picking up on the energy of hundreds of people with your same sun sign (which is only one aspect of your chart), and we are all on different paths/ timing so of course it will not be accurate. I encourage people to look into astrology, aside from actually being a great self development tool ( really calls you out on your bullshit and brings plenty of moments of realization) to really look into it, and not just take it in at surface level, it's a lot of fun as well getting to know ones self; parts that you may have known were there, but never recognized as tendencies--- a great reminder of who you are; your impact as a human being, and the universe around you.
Hi SeleneI am absolutely resonating with you!. Top comment! I have subscribed to your channel. Please do leave me a comment if you find any of my content interesting! I am looking forward to watch more of your own content!Cheers.
VIII Maus I respectfully disagree. Just because it is describing an archetype personality doesn’t mean I have to completely fit into that mold nor does it mean that I will automatically just start to act how it tells me I am supposed to act. We still have free will, and the universe respects that. Astrology simply describes certain traits and its up to you to exercise your self awareness and learn to recognize which traits you exhibit and which ones you do not. There might be some positive tendencies that you would like to put into practice after reading about them, and maybe you didn’t know you were capable of working on this behavior. To me, astrology is a tool that can shed light on both your strengths and weaknesses, and you are meant to take what you resonate with. We all have birth charts that hold a lot of information on our lives and personalities, many describe them as snowflakes, that is how detailed and personal these charts are. So yes, a lot of the time you will not 100% match with your sun sign or moon sign for example because you probably have a lot of aspects and signs in opposing positions. Personally, astrology has enlightened me and continues to help me in becoming what I consider to be “the best version of myself”, and I believe that for many people- astrology is a tool that can assist you in unlocking your greatest potential.
What I took from this video: Astrology and alchemy are pretty similar. Neither is a science (they are more akin to esoteric practices and magic and what not) but the fact that people have been interested in them has led to some milestones in the history of science Fun fact: the dude who discovered Phosphorus was an alchemist
@@kritisharma2092 theres nothing individual about it. Even describing an individual ends up being quite broad . Astrology is a very cliche way to feel individual which to me is the irony.. after studying sales.. I realized once you relate to someone, their yours.. how you relate is subjective in any aspect. But thats the fun part.. what we ignore is the truth.. at the end of the day , a persons actions & history is what we relate to.. not their astrological breakdown.. thats about as strung along as race is
Well, an idea of a correlation between birth and your life (like health issues in this case) that may be shared or inspiring does not mean the astrology can tell us how the natural rhythms affect our life, this conclusion is rather incorrect.
"It doesn't actually matter if people believe in astrology, the better question [...] is whether it helps people" YES that's what I've been saying forever, if someone came at me with the undeniable proof that it is all bullshit I wouldn't care less, I don't let it control my life, I use it as a tool to explain what I already know about myself
"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked! Isn’t this stuff just like avatar lol
your astrologic signs is like a seed that you bring into life. Its an energy you are born with that contains specific patterns of behaviour. It is up to you, if you want to play on that or not.
The funny thing is how astrology sometimes get things right. I know it’s most likely just a coincidence, and there’s no science behind it, but it’s fun to read your sign’s description and compare it to your actual personality.
@@aleksandrosofficial so u also believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny ? Cuz there is exactly the same amount of evidence for their existence than for the existence of astrology
Kind of disappointed you didn't cover natal charts. What made me a believer was looking at my natal chart. Your birth actually consists of several different signs, and depending on which of the 12 houses those are based in, can clearly spell out your personality. It's not just a 1 in 12 thing. It's 1 in millions of different combinations that makes us how we are. There are scientists who believe that we are made out of stars, in a sense. It's very interesting if one takes the time to look into how the basics of astrology actually work. It's AMAZING what a natal chart can say. Try it! I use cafe astrology
i know this comment is old but i just wanna say i relate so much!!! people shit on astrology so much when it's one of the most misunderstood concepts ever. i got into it from the same website. they really should've covered that because that would've solved so many misconceptions about it
I don’t really like looking too into astrology because I feel like I’m trapped in a cage and I can only act the way my sun sign and moon sign and blah blah blah say I should be like...
I don't believe in the daily horoscopes but the personality traits are uncanny in their descriptions. I'm a very typical Pisces and I've noticed the exact same traits in others.
I like my “traits” from my zodiac but I don’t want it to define me especially the bad traits because you really can change yourself and be who you want to be and I would hate it if when I made a new friend and I told them my sign they wouldn’t like me☹️
The bad traits are there to neutralize them and become a better version. Be aware of the potential danger that bad traits can come through but of course you can change. Lol
I totally get this and have felt the same, but I've heard astrologers say that you can channel any energy in your chart, it just might take more effort. I feel like no one would automatically seriously be like "oooh, idk if we can be friends" after you told them. I take each person as their own person but I notice things about them and their behavior and how they compare to their sun sign's description as I get to know them.
True the best way to get to know someone isn't by looking at there birth chart it's by actually spending one on one time with them n yeah anyone can change for the better or worse but a person's chart placements only inclines people to act in a certain way but doesn't force anyone to be a certain without changing for example my Mars the planet of action courage how u express anger n ur sexuality is in Aries n I can blow up like crazy when I'm angry I'm impulsive but I get over things fast cause I don't have the patience to be petty people with my placement are also more inclined to murder someone out of impulse because we're hot heads does that mean I'm gonna do that know I just gotta take ten deep breaths sometimes or punch a boxing bag to release but u can't change ur placements but u can use them for good n channel it into good stuff instead of suppressing it I'm a Pisces is well n I definitely gotta be careful of being to in my head we're prone to escaping into our fairytale imagination that isn't in reality n we gotta be careful
I'm incredibly late to this video, but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know that horoscopes are mainly just entertainment-only but a few weeks ago, I started reading mine for fun and actually found it helpful. Knowing it isn't backed by science, I wanted to know more about what draws us to them and why the seem so accurate for some folks. Thank you!
I also believe that being born during a specific season might somehow affect our personalities.... But summer can be in August or December depending on which hemisphere you are... And what about the tropics?
I’m also a pieces and I don’t mind where we are on the list, all in all we’re all gonna die so it doesn’t really matter...cancers can be a compassionate and beautiful sign, as well as very protective this could be why they might sometimes seem or be a little bit manipulative... as they value and protect the people they love or hold dear, nonetheless, pisces ♓️ seems to be the most misunderstood star signs amongst all the zodiacs...which is fine, because I think we understand ourselves probably the most as well as others we communicate intimately with...all in all I don’t think we should take astronomy too seriously, it should be used as a tool to understand your own personal behaviors rather than a group or mass, that’s why I always say take it with a pinch of salt🧂 😊 Ps... all the star signs are amazing in there own way... it’s just that if the person or individual associated with theses signs stands for a good value or bad sometimes both
Dear Pisces ur lowkey in ur own world and its hard sometimes to talk with you, i mean im in my own world too but i get in touch with reality tho - taurus
My sister was born 3 months early, in November instead of February. She relates more to Pisces than to Scorpio, so I think it has more to do with conception than birth. Especially, since doctors now commonly induce mothers whenever they think it's best, rather than when their bodies are naturally ready. It's wise to take everything with a grain of salt, but there are definitely some strong implications that people on in certain months act very similarly
i always thought that too. the conception part. not sure though, cause i most definitely relate more with scorpio (i was born in november) than the zodiac around the time i was conceived
Very interesting, I love astronomy and now I’m starting to open up to the possibility of astrology having validity. Even in neuroscience something that emerged is epigenetics, which before seemed like pseudoscience but is now actually being studied by scientists, so maybe some day we will find some sort of correlation especially when you realize everything is intricately connected.
Another thing that a lot of people don’t understand is that just because u are born in a certain time frame doesn’t mean u will have every trait of that sign. Depending on where the other planets and stars are aligned also impacts fate and traits. Like I was born an Aries but due to where other planets were located I have very little Aries too me. It explains why I have so many Virgo and Sagg traits
I personally think that superficial daily horoscope in magazines is mostly bs but if you dive deeper into astrology with sun/moon signs, place and time and everything that plays into it, it's really interesting and can actually help you analyse yourself or understand yourself better (emphasis on CAN). For me it's less abt future telling but more abt understanding certain personalities/myself.
I don't know how, but it really does work. Libra women are always private and really care about what society thinks of them. I dated a couple and they had very similar traits other people don't share
None of my zodiac signs match, none match my mom nor dad or friends. If some little traits match it’s because they’re so general and could apply to anybody. Still a really well done and informative video!!
I bet if I gave you are reading it will match,. Astrology is just a scartch of the surface and or rated. The combinations of numerology is another matter. These are just calendars and they will be around longer than we all chatting here.
