A rather free love friend of a friend was trying to fuck guys from every sign of the zodiac, and she hadn’t gotten to Cancer yet. As an amateur astronomer now, and a child who was raised by a lunatic into all sorts of woo, I declined on principle.
Look, have your fun. But woo is a relationship red flag for me. You cannot remind me of my mother if you want me turned on. I haven’t gotten laid countless times. I don’t need or want sex that badly. I desire someone I can trust to keep a firm grasp on reality.

That is such a Leo thing to say
Or you can just have a decent personality. I’ve never had a problem with both not believing in their astrology and getting laid. Just don’t be a dick about it and talk about something else.
I generally try not to yuck anyone’s yum, I won’t make fun but I will just straight up say I don’t believe in anything spiritual or magical.
This is why I shittest every straight man by asking about astrology, y’know, to confirm he’s a liar.
Better astrology than witchcraft. I have been through both in my younger days. I do have to admit, the witch was far more fun in bed.
I have a female friend who is an Astronomer. I always call her Astrologer, especially at parties and such.
Mocking believes of others and surprised that other don’t want to be nearby. If you thin you have to disrespect everything your disbelieve, you are not that rational thinking person you think you are
Not all women are into astrology, but all the people who are into astrology are women.
Actually, they’re a very specific and weird subset of women. They almost always have these traits:
- In their late teens to early/mid 20s
- Into “witchcraft” unironically
- Too into celebrity gossip
- Think yoga and meditation is sacred
- Have a completely delusional and out of touch view of Buddhism and Hinduism
- Have at least one of the following: Comically proportioned glasses, excessive piercings, unnatural hair colors, “spiritual” tattoos
- Think they’re an “artist” of sorts
I’ve yet to meet an astrology fan who didn’t have at least 80% of these.
astrology is all fun and games until your birthday is on a holiday

Uhhh based and chubby chaser pilled 🤣🤣🤣
I can feel this post in my root chakra
What’s sadder is that yoga, chakras, and crystals are traditionally from religions within the Indian subcontinent. Westerners are simply taking aspects of South Asian cultures, indigenous cultures, African cultures, and then bastardising them into marketable “neo-pagan witchcraft.”
Not the people, industries do that.
People are very good at adopting whatever and thats mostly fine. Nobody is forced to partake in the corporate stuff. I also think its a bit unfair to westerners, we would like some culture too and we would not like to be restrained to christianity or the celtic stuff (that i personally like) but is very popular with nazis as well. In general living in the middle of europe everything native to my culture always feels a bit right wingey which many obviously dislike.
Being part of a foreign religion doesn’t make it non bullshitty though. I will not just shit on any religion that i didn’t grow up with but you can’t argue that there aren’t people everywhere commercializing and using religion in their own interest.
I’ve been at some concerts where I’ve seen people holding up crystals saying that they are absorbing energy. Seems like harmless fun to me. They aren’t out there killing people over it like religious people sometimes do.
Irrespective of its truthfulness, astrology is really cool! I love learning about it. I also really like alchemy. It’s kinda like looking at someone’s fanfic AU. Of course 17th century guys were inventing cute lil alphabets, pretending they belonged to angels, and writing lil secret notes. Of course someone looked up at the sky and then invented a whole magic system about how the pictures affect our lives. Humans never change.
In fact things like Tarot and astrology can be used to ascribe meaning to some of the ways in which we behave - like, you can’t tell the future objectively from it, but you can figure things out about your own current feelings based on what you gravitate to and what the results make you think about.
Have you tried Yijing / I Ching yet? It is amazing!
No idea what that is but I’d love an explanation!
It is a divination form. You flip 3 coins a couple of times (or flip sticks originally I believe) and you get an answer in a very vague wise person way.
I believe it is based on an Asian book that was written a while back. It was popular back in the Eu about… 25 years ago. Way easier than tarot reading. I never got into that - tho I do love the symbolism of the cards, I even wanted to make a set from scratch.
I know in an earlier comment I said I dislike it, but I guess I just dislike people taking it way way way too seriously. It is pretty interesting and tarot cards and stuff and they’re fun to learn about from a perspective. It’s just the aspect of it being absolute truth or something I find a little perturbing.
Spoken like a sag
Imma level with you, I have no idea what that means. But uh, it was cool hangin’
