Do you believe in Astrology?

[Mayareira]

Simple question, I...don't think I do but man sometimes they are surprisingly accurate.

If you do, what's your star sign and is it accurate enough in describing you?

[NynJa]

no, when they're accurate its just coincidence. It'll be 'accurate' once every 3 months, and even then its vague at best.

[Acturus]

Yes, I believe in Astronomy.

[foopy]

self-fulfilling prophecies.

If it had any veracity as a predictive process, as its proponents claim it does, it would be "nearly all the time", not "sometimes."

Among a laundry list of other reasons why it's BS that I won't hog for myself.

Believing in astrology and religion is like believing in aliens.

Yes, I believe in Astronomy.

Not me, I believe in Cosmetology.

[Headspace]

I don't believe in it, but it's fun to think about I guess.

I've noticed how my personality is pretty on with my "star sign" or whatever, but it's probably coincidence

Virgo -


Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytica

Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
Perfectionist and conservative

Hmm.. I am slight shy, definitely reliable, compared to most I like to think I'm intelligent but I'm definitely not a Psychologist/Doctor.. yet, I do worry about some of the stupidest shit, I'm quiet harsh on others when pissed off, and I am a perfectionist when it comes to work/gaming/relationships/keeping things in order/neat!

Yep I believe in it. Seems to pin point who I am and besides being shy, my friend who I grew up with is also a Virgo and he shares a lot of the same characteristics as I do.

edit - but I'm not gonna follow something on a piece of paper saying how I should feel, how I will experience my day/week/month because I think that's just plain bull shit.

[Mayareira]

^ Yeah, I could consider myself a perfect "Virgo" as well.

And Leo's, they are almost always way too assertive. At least the ones I've met.

You're looking at it the wrong way. If you're only gauging it based on how well your horoscope fits you (especially because the characteristics described in most horoscopes are broad and apply to most people), you're not actually putting it up to any real scrutiny.

"Well, this kind of fits me, so I believe it" is hardly a rational conclusion. If you were given a horoscope of a different sign you'd have the same chance of agreeing with it if you thought it was for your own.

[Pirian]

It's easy to read something and then say "Oh yeah, I guess that is me"

Better to make a list before hand and then see how much of it coincides, otherwise you're just tainting yourself to bias.

They always make those predictions broad enough to at least hit most of the people. Once you've hit one part of a persons character then they're more likely to think "oh, this other stuff makes sense too."

there are seriously 4 (at the time of this post) people who think stars can predict the future and/or personalities?

SERIOUSLY?

I was gonna say pretty much exactly this. This means that there are 4 people here on BG who are far stupider than any other person I've ever taken the time to insult in my entire time on these boards. That fact alone is honestly just staggering.

[Drex]

I could consider myself a perfect cancer if I ignore the many things that have nothing to do with me and only focus on the ones that vaguely sound like me, too.
