Should we start believing in astrology and pursue our life partners based on it?

Yes, your Kundalini in Astrology does matter in marriage decisions here. Kundalini is a synonym of Kundali/horoscope/birth chart/natal chart but the meaning remains the same. The Kundli or horoscope is the governor of all the aspects of human life, and marriage is therefore no different.
 
If the cosmos is a type of great mind then the form, motion and position of celestial bodies could share that cosmic intellectual quality to a degree with the organic environment of a planet through the local inorganic constituents and the individual of which they are made.
 
No. I've been with two separate Scorpios and they were complete opposites. Same moon sign too, before you try to pull that shit with me.

Checkmate, astrology.
 
What does it even mean, "have an open mind"?

To i. there being a mechanism whereby the conformation of celestial objects affects our destiny based on Earth's position relative to the sun upon some collective birth window, and ii. us happening to discover said mechanism by accident?

You're a fucking idiot, buddy.

What's a moon sign?

Anyway, I find astrology interesting for the same reason I find Myers-Briggs(also bullshit) interesting. I like to hear people talk about me. I find me interesting. But it's all generic nonsense that cam apply in different people vaguely

Tons of people believe in it. It's a thing in astrology to choose a life partner that is compatible with your birth month. For example, if you're a Capricorn you're most compatible with a Taurus.

Do you know anyone who subscribes to this? Are you someone who believes?

I'd like to come into this with an open mind and hear everyone's thoughts.

I don't believe in it but it worked out for me I guess and was pretty much dead on, a Cancer married to a Scorpio which produced a Pisces.
 
Of course not. Astrology is complete horseshit. The movement of stars and planets millions of miles away has fuck all to do with anything down here.

It's just more nonsense. Sun sign is determined by your day and month of birth - everyone knows their sun sign and assumes that's their zodiac. Moon sign is more complicated and requires time and location. You need both signs, plus a "rising sign" to form your full zodiac. However, the more "complex" astrology gets the more apparent it is you can use it to describe literally any individual.

Example: If you are a Scorpio and some of the qualities don't fit your personality, they can argue your moon sign is a Taurus or whatever and that explains why. I dated two double Scorpios and they were complete opposites - so I suppose their rising signs must now explain the difference. It's bullshit.

I like how Carl Jung put it, that being born at a certain point of the year is like how wine will have the qualities dependant on the time of year it was harvested. But that's only a starting flavour, to define an entire personality to it is no different than dogmatic religion.

But the cosmos is not a mind.

I haven't mentioned relationships. Which should be addressed.

It seems unfair to pidgeonhole people with astrology and therefore relationships. Looking back over relationship history might be insightful. It was for me, but I looked at more than alignments with Tropical birth charts.

Not the grifter stuff if that's what you're talking about. I don't buy/sell charts or offer personal advice. If that's all you're exposed to then your reaction is normal.

no and anyone who believes that is retarded. The moment a chick asks me what's my zodiac sign - it's over.
 
It is only useful as a way to chat the laaaadys, because they more often than not find the topic funny, if they aren't outright interested in it.

I have a friend who knows some basic astrology stuff it is always impressive how that works as an ice breaker or some go to subject you don't have much to say to the object of your attention !

Other than that it is a scam you won't find a girl who likes you based on their birth date sorry OP
 
Yeah, I believe in it...sorta. I always ask women about it, it's a good conversation piece and it helps reveal a lot about them without having to question them on certain issues. It doesn't matter if they actually believe it or not, it's whether they think they ascribe to the astrology description, which is key.

A lot of people seem to be dismissive of the people who 'believe' in it and write them off as 'idiots', without actually stopping to think to the potential benefits of touching on astrology as a topic. It is a topic of some self-interest, and people who do 'believe' in it are heavily into it, or mostly, believe because they see themselves in their descriptions to some degree.

User Toots above has one of the best takes about it imo. Use it as an 'in' and icebreaker and to learn more about the persons you're into.

I've been seeing a lot of necro bumps. I've just assumed that's how this forum operates nowadays.
 
I just don't understand grouping people in birth period. It feels like that personality trait defined by blood type - that I just find it too generalizing. It is interesting talking point though - especially if your date is somewhat a believer of it or whatnot. You know, chit chat and all.

Some people seem to really believe in it - so I leave it at that. MBTI, on the other hand seems to show some interesting things, but I do think some people take it way too seriously.
At the same time, I've seen combination of this whole Astrology + MBTI thing somewhere - and I just laugh... ;)
 
When I was young, my mom used to type the horoscopes as a part time job for a local paper. The one thing she learned was how often the horoscopes repeated and just got moved to other signs. One weeks Sagittarius would be next week's Gemini.
 
Astrology is pretty darn dense and complex when you go balls deep into all it entails. But i have a feeling that makes me say yes.

That's a red flag besides other more apparent signals like danger hair.

Sadly, pretty much every btgg I've gone for has both of these traits. Zodiac signs(or witchcraft,wicca,pagan all nonsense) and danger hair. If they weren't so damn hot. Sigh. I need a new type.

Yeah I don't believe in Astrology but I do believe it has some adaptive value. If you read a horoscope, you are usually looking to fit (oblique) descritions into the specifics of your life, which requires act of reflection as you figure out what fits. So IMHO it's a kind of 'mindfulness hack', and it persists despite having 0 predictive value. You reflect on your life, and you also share that with others.

It might not be, there could be a better unified theory of the existence of mind in the cosmos. Only those who know little about these subjects speak with absolute certainty.

I've spoken with a lot of astronomers and physicists who know it's all horseshit… and their expertise dwarves anyone else's.

No doubt you think your anecdotal evidence proves your bias conclusively.

Since the subject being talked about there was about panpsychism.

Don't go for appeals to authority myself, but there's some names dropped in this article while explaining some of the ideas in astronomical context for your benefit.

Is the universe conscious?

Some of the world's most renowned scientists are questioning whether the cosmos has an inner life similar to our own.

No. It doesn't work for the girls who believe in it. It's also just another way for the deranged to remove accountability from themselves.
