Most people I've encountered who are into astrology ignore the planetary signs and alignments completely. Weirdly this annoys me far more than just believing in it. Like, if you're going to put your faith in a fantasy system and make actual life decisions around it, at least take the actual details of the fantasy seriously. How dare you oversimplify my personality to just my solar birth sign, and not account for my lunar and planetary signs as well. Was Mercury in fucking retrograde when I was born? What House were they in? Were any planets in alignment or opposition? Because details matter, and according to your stupid system those are important details. If you're going to believe in bullshit, the least you could do is actually commit to it. Come on single-sign-astrology people, get your shit together and stop half-assing it. Or, even better, you could just forget the whole thing because it's all nonsense.
All major religions have left the chat
That's such a Virgo thing to say.
Sounds like somebody woke up on the wrong side of Uranus today.
Perhaps the position of Uranus this morning did influence my decision, who could say? I've wanted to write a nice rant on astrology half-assing for a while and this morning I saw this post and thought "why not today?"
The only star sign that's useful for making predictions is Libra. If you're a Libra, then your parents totally boned down at Christmas time
