Which zodiac sign is the most agnostic about astrology?
You can imagine the reactions I get when I tell people I write horoscopes for a living. A fellow astro nerd who is keen to talk the stars occasionally surprises me with warm excitement. Other times, I’m met with a slight eye roll that reveals their disapproval of my profession. However, this is my least favorite reaction: “Oh, yes? Then try to figure out what my sign is.” How am I expected to know that, anyway? We’ve only known each other for five minutes. That isn’t how astrology works, either. Even if I can’t tell someone’s zodiac sign just by looking at them, I do know that those born under these signs are the least likely to believe in astrology. If you’re a Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn (or have one of these signs in your birth chart), you’re probably the type of person who would mock or disregard someone’s interest in astrology.
To begin with, there’s nothing wrong with not believing in astrology or not being a fan of it. I’m not here to persuade you to change your mind. I believe it’s wonderful to have your own set of principles and beliefs, and to be honest, I like the idea that astrology is still a bit of a closed club. However, if you have one of the following zodiac signs in your horoscope, you’re likely to be the type of person who takes their time before believing in something, which is often a good thing. But, well, you’ve got to have a little faith now and then. Also, allow them to enjoy anything they want. Capiche?
Is Scorpio astrology toxic?
Despite the fact that Gemini and Scorpio are frequently referred regarded as two of the most toxic signs in the zodiac, they are not toxic for everyone. Some zodiac signs are more compatible with your personality than others, and some bring out the worst in you. Knowing which zodiac sign is the most toxic for your sign will assist you avoid getting into situations that aren’t ideal for you.
So, according to the stars, how can you determine if you and your spouse are destined to be a toxic couple?
“Astrology may be complicated, and there are numerous ways to evaluate a relationship,” Jaye explains, “including looking at the aspects (distance) between two Sun signs to see if you’re compatible or not.” “In general, the 12 signs can be thought of as follows: One sign apart are polar opposites who can irritate each other. Toxicity is at an all-time high here. Three signs apart, a square placement, indicating difficult lessons yet room for improvement. If you’re not on the same side, toxicity can be a problem. The opposite sign completes your life picture, six signs apart. This is the antithesis of your yang. It’s not poisonous!”
According to astrology, there are three zodiac signs to avoid if you don’t want drama in your life.
While this is based on the stars, it’s also critical that you don’t dump your relationship just because you’re an Aries and they’re a Taurus right now. Of course, there are exceptions to any rule.
“I try to avoid making broad statements about zodiac signs since the natal astrology chart contains so much more depth than just the sun sign,” Farrar explains. “I dislike categorizing people without taking into account how all sections of the chart combine to generate personality or relationship dynamics… Dynamic bounces between all of these facets of our personality frequently, exposing our pleasant sides and our darkness/toxicity at different times depending on the situation.”
Is it true that many believe in astrology?
Christine Smallwood’s fascinating piece, “Astrology in the Age of Uncertainty:
Astrology is currently experiencing widespread popular acceptability that has not been seen since the 1970s. The transition began with the introduction of the personal computer, was expedited by the Internet, and has now reached new levels of speed thanks to social media. According to a Pew Research Center poll from 2017, about a third of Americans believe in astrology.
Astrology, like psychoanalysis before it, has infiltrated our collective vernacular. At a party in the 1950s, you could have heard someone talk about the id, ego, or superego; now, it’s normal to hear someone explain herself using the sun, moon, and rising signs. It isn’t just that you are aware of it. It’s who’s saying it: folks who aren’t kooks or deniers of climate change, who don’t find a conflict between utilizing astrology and believing in science…
I ran a short Google search and discovered the following Pew report from October 2018:
The religion breakdown was the only thing that surprised me about this table.
I had the impression that mainline Protestants were the rational ones, but they believe in astrology at the same rate as the overall population.
But, hey, I guess they’re ordinary Americans, so they have average American ideas.
Only 3% of atheists believe in astrology, which is also unexpected.
This makes sense, yet it seemed reasonable to me that someone may not believe in God but believe in other supernatural things: in fact, I could see astrology as a type of replacement for a traditional religious system.
But it appears that is not the case.
Brian Wansink has been compared to an astrologer who can make astute observations about the world based on a combination of persuasiveness and qualitative understanding, and then attributes his success to tarot cards or tea leaves rather than a more practical ability to synthesize ideas and tell good stories.
Does Brian Wansink, on the other hand, believe in astrology?
What about Marc Hauser, Ed Wegman, Susan Fiske, and the whole swarm of folks who prefer to characterize their detractors as “second-string, replication police, methodological terrorists, Stasi, etc?
I doubt they believe in astrology because it symbolizes a rival belief system: it’s a business that, in some ways, competes with rah-rah Ted-talk science.
I wouldn’t be shocked if famous ESP researchers believe in astrology, but I get the impression that mainstream junk-science supporters in academia and the news media feel uncomfortable discussing ESP since its research methods are so similar to their own.
They don’t want to be associated with ESP researchers because it would devalue their own study, but they also don’t want to put them under the bus because they are fellow Ivy League academics, so the safest plan is to remain quiet about it.
The greater point, however, is not astrology believing in and of itself, but the mental state that allows individuals to believe in something so contrary to our scientific understanding of the world.
(OK, I apologize to the 29% of you who don’t agree with me on this.)
When I return to writing on statistical graphics, model verification, Bayesian computation, Jamaican beef patties, and other topics, you can rejoin the fold.)
It’s not that astrology couldn’t be correct a priori:
We can come up with credible hypotheses under which astrology is real and amazing, just as we can with embodied cognition, beauty and sex ratio, ovulation and voting, air rage, ages ending in 9, and all the other Psychological Science / PNAS classics.
It’s just that nothing has come up after years of rigorous research.
And the existing theories aren’t particularly convincing: they’re speculative world models that may be good if the purpose was to describe a real and enduring occurrence, but they’re less so without actual data.
Anyway, if 30% of Americans are willing to believe such nonsense, it’s no surprise that a significant number of influential American psychology professors will have the kind of attitude toward scientific theory and evidence that leads them to have strong beliefs in weak theories with no supporting evidence.
Indeed, not only support for specific weak theories, but support for the fundamental principle that pseudoscientific views should be treated with respect (although, oddly enough, maybe not for astrology itself).
P.S.In defense of the survey respondents (but not of the psychology professors who support ideas like the “critical positivity ratio,” which makes astrology appear positively sane in comparison), belief in astrology (or, for that matter, belief in heaven, gravity, or the square-cube law) is essentially free.
Why not believe these things, or not believe them?
Belief or denial in evolution, climate change, or unconscious bias, on the other hand, can have social or political consequences.
Some opinions are purely personal, while others have a direct impact on policy.
I have less patience for famous academic and media elites who aggressively support junk science by not just expressing their trust in speculative notions supported by no real data, but also attacking those who point out these emperors’ nudity. Furthermore, even a hypothetical tolerant, open-minded supporter of junk sciencethe type of person who might believe in critical positivity ratio but actively support the publication of criticisms of that workcan still cause some harm by contaminating scientific journals and the news media with bad science, and by promoting sloppy work that takes up space that could be used for more careful research.
You know how they say science corrects itself, but only because individuals are willing to correct themselves?
Gresham’s law is also true, but only when people are willing to distribute counterfeit notes or money they think is counterfeit while keeping their lips shut until they can get rid of their wads of worthless stock.
P.P.S.Just to be clear:I don’t think astrology is a waste of time, and it’s possible that Marc Hauser was onto something real, even while faking data (according to the US government, as mentioned on Wikipedia), and the critical positivity ratio, ovulation, voting, and all the rest…
Just because there isn’t enough evidence to support a theory doesn’t mean it’s untrue.
I’m not trying to disprove any of these assertions.
All of it should be published someplace, along with all of the criticism.
My issue with junk science proponents isn’t simply that they advocate science that I and others perceive to be rubbish; they can also be wrong!
However, they consistently avoid, deny, and oppose valid open criticism.
P.P.P.S.Remember that #notallpsychologists.
Of course, the problem of junk research isn’t limited to psychology in any way.
Professors of political science, economics, sociology, and history, to the extent that they believe in astrology, spoon bending, or whatever (that is, belief in “scientific paranormalism as describing some true thing about the natural world, not just a “anthropological recognition that paranormal beliefs can affect the world because people believe in it), this could also sabotage their research.
I suppose it’s not such a big problem if a physicist or chemist believes in these things.
I’m not attempting to shut down study into astrology, embodied cognition, ESP, beauty-and-sex-ratio, endless soup bowls, spoon bending, the Bible Code, air anger, ovulation and voting, subliminal smiley faces, or anything else.
Allow for the blooming of a thousand blooms!
Given that a sizable portion of the populace is willing to believe in scientific-sounding notions that aren’t backed by any good scientific theory or evidence, it should come as no surprise that many professional scientists hold this viewpoint.
The repercussions are especially evident in psychology, which is a vital field of study where theories can be hazy and where there is a long legacy of belief and action based on flimsy data.
That isn’t to say that psychologists are awful people; they’re merely working on difficult challenges in a field with a long history of failures.
This isn’t a critique; it’s just the way things are. Of course, there is a lot of excellent work being done in the field of psychology. You’ll have to work with what you’ve got.
Is it possible for you to believe in God and astrology?
I’ve been asked numerous times over the years to speak about the compatibility of astrology and religion by clients who are deeply religious. Despite the fact that some passionately religious people consider astrology to be heretical, I’ve noticed an extraordinary ideological connection between organized religions and the orderly world of astrology.
Astrology is completely compatible with a strict religious belief system. It’s a graceful jump to assume that a God created the universe, with noble ideals guiding even the planets and stars.
The study of the planets and stars precedes and has influenced religious belief and practice around the world, according to evidence from ancient texts, sculptures, and stained glass art. Symbols of astrological signs and planets can be found in our earliest ancient religious sites. Significant religious luminaries including Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, Buddha, and Mary Baker Eddy were born within astrological alignments that synchronistically confirmed their arrival.
Some devoted religious believers’ opposition can be traced back to a time when priests and religious authorities sought to interpret and mediate all religious experiences from their positions of authority. Our forefathers sought divine inspiration straight from the stars and considered themselves to be an intricate part of an active universe evolving before the development of male-dominated organized religion. Astrology as a technique and a belief system founded on an enchantment with the divine orchestrations of the heavens was open to anyone. Astrology does not necessitate the worship of a single deity or figurehead; rather, it assumes the existence of an infinite and purposeful intellect that pervades the heavens and the earth in a grand symphony of meaning.
Religion comes from the Latin term religio, which meaning “to connect together.” What could be more inextricably interwoven than celestial motions and human experiences and events?
The meanings of the 9th and 12th houses, as well as the archetypes of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, all honor the importance of religion and spirituality in astrology. The 9th and 12th houses represent areas of life where religious or spiritual guidance, experience, and/or ordainment may be sought. Jupiter can represent a powerful spiritual or religious figure, Saturn a harsh God image, and Neptune mystical experiences and religious rapture.
A trustworthy, unbiased astrologer can assist a client in strengthening their confidence. Through an examination of their chart, I’ve assisted several clients in reclaiming and activating their religious roots, leading them toward the power that comes from following a religious path. Religion is a cornerstone of psychological and mental well-being for some people.
Unlike many organized religions, astrological ideas and practices are free of sexism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression. Even the old astrological metaphors of masculine and feminine planets and energies have been redesigned as receptive and active energies that are not gendered in expression. Every human has a strong seat at the table of the universe, just as every planet and star has a position in the sky.
Astrology and organized faiths are both:
- Are you looking for a way to express yourself?
- Are not backed up by scientific evidence
- Thousands of years have passed
- Are based on legend and folklore.
- Have spawned works of art and poetry that are both inspired and stunning.
- Give people a sense of belonging and identity
- Assist folks who are going through a lot of pain and loss.
- Investigate the concepts of fate and free will.
- Have a history of group rituals?
- Keep track of important dates on your calendar.
In contrast to religion, astrology:
- There are no places of worship.
- There are no membership requirements or vows.
- There are no moral edicts.
- Has no claim to superiority based on merit
- Is there no human saint?
- There is no such thing as a hierarchy of worthiness.
- Does not indicate that there is an afterlife.
- There is no specific code of social conduct outlined.
- There is no formal consensus on the amount of training that must be completed.
- There are no official uniforms or costuming for practitioners.
- It does not necessitate worship.
These lists demonstrate how religion and astrology can have a fruitful relationship.
Religion is a Saturn word in astrological terms: it is ordered, spells out right and wrong, and is constructed on and in institutions and agreements. Astrology has a Uranian bent to it:
Which zodiac has the smallest number of friends?
Geminis, also known as the “chameleon of the zodiac,” are the most difficult sign to keep friends with. Nonetheless, they know how to strike up a conversation with anyone in any environment and fit in. “This makes forming relationships with different friend groups in different social contexts quite easy for them,” Ash explains.
Why do Scorpios constantly seem to be single?
They need attention and despise being alone and unattached. Scorpios desire a committed, long-term partnership. Hookups and being a part of the dating scene are not appealing to them. They desire to be in a committed relationship and are willing to put their whole heart and soul into their spouse.
Is it true that Scorpios are narcissistic?
If Scorpio has lately been hurt or betrayed, they can become extremely egotistical. It causes people to become vengeful, which can be tough to deal with. But they’re not that egocentric if they’re in a decent place. If you mess with a Scorpio, things might get nasty.
Why are Scorpios the most poisonous of all the animals?
It’s difficult to comprehend how a sign can elicit such conflicting responses. What are the reasons for this? We may never figure it out, just like the sign itself.
We do know that they are ferocious. They adore and despise one other fiercely. Scorpios will lavish you with compliments, prepare breakfast in bed for you, and embrace you so tightly that you won’t be able to breathe. They also play hot and cold, check their phones, and carry grudges for minor infractions.
On the inside, any emotions you pick up from a Scorpio feel ten times stronger. At the same time, they are angels and demons. And, to be honest, they like it that way. They enjoy standing out from the crowd. They don’t mind if people assume they’re a serial killer who’s dark, extreme, and vengeful.
Scorpios enjoy being themselves, yet the dark part of their nature can suffocate those around them. Scorpio’s toxic qualities not only scare people away, but they may also come back to bite them.
