Invalid Reasons Why People Don’t Believe in Astrology

It is very common for people to misjudge astrology, completely dismiss it and push it aside like a foreign concept. It’s often perceived as a subject for the spiritual and gullible, but that is not the case at all, in fact celebrities like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift to name a few, relate to their zodiac sign. That’s a naive approach to astrology too, as it’s not all down to just your zodiac sign. Let’s dive right in to Reason 1.

1) Astrology is not just about the twelve zodiac signs.

This is the most common reason people find it difficult to believe in astrology. They read a simple description about a Virgo or Sagittarius and then they’ll tell you that what they are reading can be applied to everyone. This is understandable as there are some vague traits such as ‘kind but critical’ for Virgo, most people have at least a bit of kindness somewhere within and can dish a bit of criticism here and there. Or let’s take Leo being ‘passionate,’ we all have passion for something, right?

This is where there is a lack of knowledge, as the zodiac sign we refer to is just the sun sign and it’s not possible to be split into just twelve personalities. Moon signs, Ascendant signs, Venus signs, to name a few, all cooperate together like a smoothie to make the pure you. To be able to find out your placements for these, you can easily get a birth chart from a variety of sites.

Your Moon sign contributes to your inner feelings and emotions, the person you identify with inside. Your ascendant you will need a time for, this identifies your first impressions with people, how you appear to the rest of the world before they get to know the real you, almost like a mask. Your Venus sign describes your love life, the role you take in a relationship and your sensitivity in love.

All of these factors begin to create a big picture of your complex personality, which can never be fully justified with astrology alone as there are also genetics to acknowledge.

2) Science sets the minds of most people.

People want proof, and without it they refuse to believe in abnormal concepts. We all need proof at some point, whether that’s to know someone loves you or a receipt for a phone you splashed out on. This is a different type of proof we are dealing with now though. People need experimental proof like an astrologer guessing 100 percent of individuals signs, and they have no idea how difficult that can be. As explained in Reason 1, you can not determine someone just by one sign, that’s not a fair judgement.

So although there’s a lack of proof that we are affected by the stars and planets, there is also no proof that astrology isn’t real either. Just because an astrologer gets something wrong, there is no right to condemn the subject at all. It’s like when a thief steals something valuable, the whole of the human race cannot all be justified as thieves can they.

Mindset comes before anything else when you invest in a subject, people with fixed or closed minds cannot expand to see the broad width of astrology.

3) Horoscopes are not the same as zodiac signs.

So people look at the daily horoscope in a newspaper or on an app just out of curiosity and they think, ‘this isn’t accurate.’ They are actually right. Most of the time horoscopes aren’t accurate, especially daily ones. It is not the stars that are wrong, they never lie, it’s the astrologer who is wrong. However, just because some horoscopes are wrong, does not mean they all are. Weekly, monthly or yearly horoscopes are more accurate as there is more movement of the planets and their influences there is more to comment on. In a day, there is little significance evident of the planets to come to a valid conclusion about what your day is going to be like.

So if you take an interest in horoscopes, you are better off reading ones over a wider period of time, as daily ones are more for entertainment.

4) Incompatible people have been married for years.

Many relationships will last years, regardless of their signs which is great, but this could be because their Venus signs are a great match. For example John Legend is a Capricorn and Chrissy Teigen is Sagittarius, yet they are been married for years. This is down to their Venus signs, which are both in Scorpio, along with their ascendant signs being compatible. A misconception is the sun signs have to be compatible. If you are in a relationship with two signs considered to be incompatible, I suggest comparing both of your birth charts to see how you stand else where.

The list is endless for why people don’t believe in astrology, but these are the main ones. I hope this article has made you revaluate your reasoning for being skeptical towards astrology. Or if you are already a believer, give you insight into why people you know may not believe it.
