Neil deGrasse Tyson and Joe Rogan discuss Astrology 

"If you wanna get laid you gotta talk nonsense to people" so true so sad

It amazes me the amount people who like to bash religion yet take astrology seriously as if there's any truth behind it

Astrology is definitely becoming more mainstream

“Ooohhhhhh So it’s bullshit” 😂

I love how he says "Think about it" instead of "Listen to me"

Honestly believing in astrology in any form is just a massive red flag for people in general

The title of this video should be "Neil deGrasse Tyson destroying Astrology in 6 minutes"

Listening to Tyson explain astrology is one of the most entertaining things I have heard in awhile...

Astrology has become the new religion.

If I'm gonna 'pray' to anything its gonna be the balls of fire in the sky that literally provide resource for everything that provides us resource. Praise the sun fellas

Who could not love Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The things he said about the constellations are so true. Back in school I never found them similar to the things they were supposed to look like.

I wonder how many relationships are ruined because of astrology 😂😂😂

Joe " I've never looked up my birth chart" Rogan

Now I have to pull up Tyson's chart

the last 8 seconds of this video - gold 6:07

I love this guy, he is so down to earth

You know, it seems to me that nobody even takes it seriously. Like how can you expect to understand it if you're giving up at the beginning. You have'nt even tried

based on twitter, a sad amount of people think astrology is a great introspective tool

Sun in Pisces Moon in Gemini Mercury in Pisces

Everytime I hear Neil I feel my IQ and Soul ascend

1:13 "you were born when Celsius was rising" 😂😂😂. Technically accurate and applicable to all....celsius is definitely rising when someone is conceived if you know what I mean

5:25 Joe suddenly wakes up full of life after sleeping the entire video. Joe: “Did somebody say opium induced?”

Literally have such a difficult time understanding why some constellations are called what they are called. They seriously do need someone to be "opium induced" to make the connection. So many don't look ANYTHINGGGGGGG like what they are called.

I know people that dont believe horoscope they just believe the personality part

1:05 if your "Moons in retrograde" you got a problem

Imagine basing your personality and so much more off of random celestial bodies made out of particles that just so happen to be near us... Literal objects don't control your life.

He should come to India. People still believe in astrology, alternative medicine (ayurveda, homeopathy,etc), vastu, etc 😭

Yeah astrology is ridiculous.

You can thank snap chat for it being mainstream

It's so interesting that astrology only affect humans. We're great story tellers but also like to blame things on the cosmic when shitt doesn't work out for you.

Also, your sign isnt even your sign. The earth wobbled a little bit since the constelations and signs were named, and your sign is determined by the constellation the sun was in when you were born... But we still use the process the ancients did so we are always getting signs wrong. People born in August are Leo, because thats what they were back when zodiac signs were first created... But thats no longer the case. So basically zodiac signs are based on outdated data

I think that’s only in LA that you hear astrology talk at bars

Has anyone ever considered astrology from different cultures and compared and contrasted? Just a thought given there were more than one

I agree, the name of something is SOOO important, more now than ever. But I don't like people who disparage our own ancestors for figuring out ways to understand the Universe and life so that we could now eventually all watch Joe Rogan videos for fun.

We have pattern seeking brains, that’s the whole answer

Joe "celsiuses rising" Rogan

White girls at 6:10 "😤😠😡🤬"

Happy birthday dr t. (10.05.58)

Whenever people ask me that nonsense, I tell them to look up in the sky and point to their star sign, and they can never do it. If you can't do something that basic, shutup with that nonsense

pharrell wearing a Nasa shirt is like rappers wearing an Aphex Twin or a random metal band shirt, it means absolutely nothing other than an empty and unfounded fashion "statement". sad but true

People forget that astrology is based on the idea that the earth is the centre of the universe

1:10

Astrology has been makinng a comeback with gen z tho

Yeah Neil may have been kinda right here. I got my Capricorn sign tattooed on my left chest and would get made fun of it a lot 6 years ago. Today, it's the first thing a lot of women seem to want to talk about. I got my tattoo because I think a goat fish is badass but I don't religiously buy into that stuff

The last 7 seconds of the video sums up Astrology as a whole.

6:12 mark lmbo

"Ooooh" "so it's bullshit"

The one thing I dislike about Joe Rogan is how he is quick to judge and diminish what he doesn't understand. His podcast is entertaining for sure and I think he seems like a fairly decent guy. He just frustrates me sometimes because he doesn't even take the time to try and understand something before he classifies it as "bullshit."

Why would you ask a scientist about matters of spirituality? Astrology has very little to do with astronomy aside from the location of the planets, and is for the most part purely psychological. Study the subconscious, and you'll begin to understand astrology. Study quantum mechanics, and you'll begin to understand astrology. Understand that we come from and are connected to this universe and that we have an immediate affect upon it, and vice versa, and you'll begin to understand astrology. Study symbolism, and you'll begin to understand astrology. Studying the stars ironically reveals very little about how astrology works, outside of planetary positions, and the fact that we all come from star dust. For the record: It sounds like this astrolologer was just a bad astrologer who had her facts wrong. 2 weeks before or after is the shadow period for any major astrological event, in regards to retrogrades and such. That's when the energies of that event begin to creep in. However, moon phases change within a matter of hours. There's no shadow period, but a "void of course." He is getting his ideas about astrology from all the wrong people and is using anecdotal evidence to support his subjective claims.

He’s a big time Libra 😂😂😂

Why do they have farm calendars plant calendars fish calendars even stars tell you what type of year it will be if its a good year for growing food ect for example so why do they find human calendar different their all related to stars and moons but its always the human calendar thats neglected yes i agree with some cant be exact but others are on the money.

If Joe doesn't believe it must be true.

I really don’t understand how he debunked horoscopes even though I wanted to find that lol

"a real one" is that like a real "super hero" ??

Someone tell Neil about Shangri-la

Moon is never retrograde. And planets do not influence human affairs. It is our own actions. Planets are an indicator of time (measure of time based on celestial events or celestial objects). Time gives results of our past actions (planting a seed) and hence "Time" is Destiny. Think about it.

Astrology: Has a bear with a tail, and people think it applies to them today.

Neil's the perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect! He's so over-the-top dramatic with his condemnation. Why is he so invested in this astrology condemnation. Without the Sumerian and Babylonian astrologers, there would be no astrophysics, and he might be a shoe salesman.

I believe in horoscope when it comes to characters but not for the astrology and prediction part .

Women tend to be interested in astrology because more interested personal relationships and understanding other people which is in a woman's nature to be curious about. Most people that are unaware of the depth that astrology goes into just have not been informed . Joe Rogan should talk to Steven Forrest, or call up Robert Hand for an interview.

Women love astrology and HATE having it debunked “J..jjjj....just let me have fun”

interesting how people can be bullish around the topic they probably never investigated indepth there's lot to astrology than meets the eye and everyone who dug deeper and is sensical and open to an extent will come to that conclusion there's no science without scepticism but there's no science without openness also... humility brings true discovery, everything else keeps us small and unprospereous

On tinder it seems 80% of women is into it. I unmatch immidiately but I'm losing tons of matches.

Its clear neither understand astrology at all. I'm not saying its real or fake bit how can u criticize something without first understanding how it actually works or is applied carl sagan even supports vedas which is the origin of astrology and jt matched with nasa in accuracy...

“One of the great challenges in this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you’re right, but not enough about the subject to know you’re wrong.” Neil Degrasse Tyson. So shut up Tyson pls! :)

Heres the thing. Me and my sister are techinically the same signs. We are complete opposites. My grandma's sign says that she is calm, detached, analytic. She is most DEFINETELY not

i like how from all the signs he remmeber the only one which is always last alwasy forgotten,no one really talks about it-its never in the media's eyes its always Aquarius-the weird and different sign-

He’s right but when people describe my sign it’s so accurate

to me you have to approach astrology with a humble mindset. like death and the humility of admitting you don’t know what happens when you die. I like to play with astrology and the information it provides but you have to understand anything is subject to change with free will. Now I don’t fully understand its correlation to the stars and the universe and the whole scientific side of it but I enjoy dipping into the whole study of humans part. all this information recorded from studying people who were born at different points in time and how different parts of their personality sync up to create the lens in which they see the world. it’s fascinating at the very least. it’s not all 100% accurate because everyone is individually unique and astrology should be approached with nothing more than curiosity of learning more about oneself and how we may relate to each other and the universe at its very core. When you approach astrology as if it were a religion or some ultimate truth, it comes off shallow and bit distasteful and definitely pushes people away from it kinda like how they are reacting in this video.

funny how people say neil cuts off joe when its literally the opposite here

Where was it said that these ancient cultures projected the values into the constellations’ names, as described here? I sense belief to justify his perspective.

I used to be a heavy doubter of astrology but, I analyze behavior patterns of friends. Funny enough friends of the same zodiac sign had incredible similarities in personality traits. I’ve guessed peoples signs based on things they say, how they say it, how they interact with others and even the way they hold eye contact. My theory is that being born in a certain position on earth during a certain season may effect the way a personality develops. I think its less to do with the stars and more to do with the seasonal experience of life as it relates to the people born the same time as you vs a baby born months later

When will the world be free from astrology and superstitions??

Astrology is fun to indulge in, but on an imaginary scale for me. Like, if a black cat crosses my path I’m not going to be deeply effected by it, but if I’m with someone I might indulge in the idea, “ooh something bad is going to happen!” for fun😂 However, I get a bit annoyed when people say they actually believe in it because in all honesty, the constellations aren’t exactly constant, they just appear constant to us because we’re living in a blink of the universe. Also, the constellations we have now were basically just navigation systems and a means to relieve boredom for ancient civilizations. It’s really narrow and geocentric type thinking.

I am a person who is being teated for schizophrenia my spirt and soul has died and replenished it self I could see things before it happens I feel an energy before things happen would it be safe to say my spirit has been resurrected I am a male

Anything is true if you perceive it so

"So it's bullshit"

Astrology is just a CLOCK in the sky. When you look at it like the Sky Clock you will learn something !!! Instead of following what the Popular belief is like sheep, be your own Sherlock Holmes, dissecting Reality !!! The more someone in the medial uses name calling or being a bully making "fun" of someone, the more they look like fools !

At least Neil deGrasse Tyson came at it with a more genuinely interested point of view instead of just making fun of it with his own lack of knowledge on the topic like the other guy. There’s a lot of problems with astrology but it goes a lot deeper than the people that will not talk to someone based on their sun sign.

Well I am not pro or against astrology, but think about this. I think that the "calling names" part is inconsequential. Those guys in the past observed some stars and saw some event and then tried to corellate them, which worked APPARENTLY. I think that even if it was some other name or some other shape they had designated, it would still be correlative, considering if the methods of correlation are correct.

They could do one on healing crystals. - I bet that would go break-servers viral. Aromatherapy. Or Taro. Love that insense shit. So Buddha.

I think sometimes astrologers can read into things too much. As an astrologer, I've done this in the past when analysing a situation. However, I think it's definitely real. If people really want to know about astrology, they shouldn't take star signs that seriously - They're just the underlying basis of someone's chart and how the solar system is mapped out - What's moving in the solar system is what has much stronger effects. I advise looking at one's houses and aspects to see clear results.

The popularity of Astrology as the zodiac people define highlights the lack of higher education around the world.

Flat earth had passed already. 1800s we believed earth was flat.

The date one is born undoubtedly affects psychology (Temperature, amount of sun, air pressure, seasons, etc) growing up. I think astrology takes things too far metaphysically, however I think birth date affects one to some extent.

most people have the wrong idea about astrology.. if you look into it objectively, you will find its more than coincidence

I love both these dudes, but damn I so wanted to be a real Gemini

I'm not sure if I'm following. How does Tyson mentioning the latitude and the angles make Joe Rogan go: "bullshit" ?

Do those two keep cutting each other off alllll the time ?

Aquarius is not a water sign 🤦🏽‍♀️ it’s Air.

Astrology is just another type of racism or cast-ism. It stamps a person based on the time they were born irrespective of how a person did in his/her life so far (like in racism, they do it based on the race ppl are born into). Unfortunately, in India it is widely believed. Horoscopes (& astrology matching) is mandatory for 2 ppl to get married. And ppl like me whose horoscope says 'this person is unlucky' have really hard time finding spouse. Its really awful to be judged for life based on something you don't actually control!! :(

dude come on, neil!! I had to wait 10 whole minutes to order some food so the employees could finish their convo on their rising sign. I was the only customer (mind you) and yes, I am that passive to wait, but did manage to say that the only sign they should be concerned with rising at work is... the dollar sign

There was a full moon in Scorpio (fall) conjunct Pluto, the night before Chernobyl catastrophe. Pretty freaky

uh-HAH-HAH.

I'm here because every woman I've been romantically involved with in the past year is so head-over-heels into astrology and it's starting to piss me off more and more. It wasn't until I read that astrology is basically racism/prejudice that it started to click for me why I really don't like it. Here I'll be having a wonderful conversation with a perfectly cute lady and she'll say "Oh you must be a pisces moon" or whatever the fuck. "What hour were you born? We'll get your birth chart and everything will make sense" and it's honestly worse than Jesus freaks....Well maybe about as bad. Can we just not? Can't we just have a conversation without you trying to figure out what fucking box I belong in? Or can't you just do that on your own time? But like, what happened to women being into Jesus? At least those women don't prejudge me based on the fucking time I was born and the month. In my experience, they don't even prejudge me for being an Atheist! Christ. At least they're not trying to pigeon-hole me into specific boxes when I'm like, you know...an INDIVIDUAL, maaan. And so are they. I used to sort of poke fun at these women and tease them or say things like "ehh it's all bullshit, it's just a pseudscience" and they would get so angry like it's their fucking religion. Like I'm laughing at them and saying "GOD ISN'T REAL. YOU'RE DUMB. NA NA NA NA NA" so now I've been a lot more, shall we say...nuanced in my approach in that I just don't say anything. The other day I was lying on a couch with a woman I just recently started seeing and she put crystals on my chest, saying that when she does it she feels more relaxed and lets the energy flow through her (placebo effect much?). That might be the hardest I've bit my tongue in my life to not just be like "Listen lady, what in the actual fuck are you doing?". She said the crystal wasn't working well and needed to be "recharged" by sitting out in nature. Though I didn't explicitly say anything, my eyebrows were raised and my lips were pursed.

Pharrell wore a nasa shirt so he likes science?

It's a "female" thing, it makes them feel cute and special, oh......look at me, I'm a Virgo hee heee heee

They require opium induced imagination 😭😭💀
