I mean, the sun is a star, and that one definitely affects your life

I once saw the headline

Dog Breeds You Should NOT Get Based on Your Astrological Sign

I did not click but as an optimist, I imagined the content would be nothing but

Let's just say for a moment that the placement of the planet earth at the moment of your birth actually mattered. Hell, if conscience was pulled from dark matter or dark energy at the moment of our birthday as Earth past through a certain area are the universe, that would be a cool idea.

But the problem with astrology is this assumption that our solar system is stationary and that every year, the earth nears the exact same location as your birth.

But this is entirely wrong because the sun is orbiting the super massive black hole at the center of the galaxy. So even if you believed the astrology stuff, you would have to make a calendar for 230 million years.

But wait the universe is expanding and our galaxy is moving! Even after a galactic year you would still not be located at the location of your birth. Woops astrology is dumb.

I feel like a random one should say, "your going to have a bad day"

That's such an aquarius thing to post

pretty sure the earth is a planet and it does affect my life

The stars and planets affect the lives of astronomers every day though.

Not to be that guy... But stars and planets definitely have the potential to affect all of our lives, just not in any positive w-- the sun goes supernova

Most stars (comparatively), I'm pretty sure there's one pretty close to us that lights up the only half the world at a time, that one might be more relevant.

My favorite thing is that astrologers are working with a 'zodiac' of stars which is so old, the stars have changed position in the sky and their zodiacal charts aren't even accurate if you just up.

That's not true! They can soothe your mind while watching them, they could light your path on a very very dark night in the wilderness, they help you navigate, they're a nice hobby for some people, even a profession for some. Boom! QED mate!

I've read before that astrology can actually be a good indicator of personality IF the person actually believes in astrology in the first place. It becomes a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy where the person models their personality after whatever they've been told they're supposed to be like. Astrology seems to just use alot of universal personality traits that probably anybody could manifest at some point in their life. So then a person who believes in it probably internalizes a few specific traits as "their" personality and after awhile just turn to that trait automatically.

No idea how true it actually is, but it seemed to make some amount of sense. It could potentially be useful if you're dealing with a person who believes in astrology, but it's such a random thing that it'd be just as useful to study Myers-Briggs personality types.

OMG that's such an Aquarius thing to say.

Not true, I will travel to view a solar eclipse, therefore at least one star is affecting my life.

a capricorn made this smh

Actually, this planet affects my life every day.

How could they? They're not real and the earth is flat

But what about if Mercury is in retrograde?

Man, there sure are a lot of smart people in this thread!
