Zodiac/Horoscope/Astronomy.

[SmudgyRotter]

It’s used to be fascinated stuff to me. I’ve always have been proud to be born as Leo, but as life goes on, I realized how miserable I really am. My sign really doesn’t mean anything, there is no destiny, no fate or whatsoever, just misery. I can’t change my personality and it’s just miserable.

P.S I hope that I didn’t violate the rules for posting this, I checked but I could be wrong.

Edit: Yes. Astrology, not Astronomy. I always mix up those two words (damn English).

Aesthetically I like astrological maps and tarot cards but I have no faith in them.

I have Tarot cards, too. But using them is nothing more than playing a game. It's basically Uno with nicer cards.

Astrology has basis.

Every pseudoscience has a basis. But there is a reason why we have astrology and astronomy existing side by side, just like we have religion and science side by side. Even religion once strayed off its path a few times and was borderline scientific with some stuff.

[SmudgyRotter]

Yes. Sorry, I meant Astrology, I always mix up the words.

That's the burden of knowledge.
Throw that delusion about fate and destiny into the trashcan and forge your own future. If you think it's all misery for you, you are the only one able to change it.

But just out of interest, what future did your sign or any other nonsense forsee for you? Being Elon Musk's wife? The Nigerian prince? The chosen one?
It's scary that people still fall for that nonsense.

I always thought that I’m destined for greatness, but it turned out that my Leo sign is on the dark side. I’m stuck with its personality, and it’s failure at same time. There are always two sides.

A lot of people want to defend science blindly. That's their right.

They don't defend science then. They defend something else.

All I can really say is there is something to it and yes, it's my nature to know. Interestingly enough, my ex wife and my best friend since 4th grade were both Libras born on the same date. Currently my 2 closest friends are both Geminis with the same birthday. I am an Aquarius on the cusp of Pisces. Leos are my opposite sign, and I think they are great.

And what exactly does that mean? What information do you draw from that "constellation"?

That is, in fact, very true. However, the problem is that people have a sort of a polar thinking. "Blindly defending" something means you're indoctrinated. So "Blindly opposing" the same thing means you're a free thinker.

Fools. That's so wrong.

i like this stuff but it's often muttled up by garbage articles and bull things like "Genimi is going to have lots of sex tonight" or "ten things leo does that annoys people" and it screws up actual astrology stuff...Drives me a bit nuts with all the pop culture or clickbait worthy articles that garble it all up.
Couple here know what i'm talking about even if this is a light form or entry level of things.

Yes, it is just unbelievable what they write sometimes. It downgrades the whole thing in general communities' eyes. In fact, it is very hard to become a hardcore astrologer, much harder than being an astronaut.

[SmudgyRotter]

Sometimes I’m still very disappointed to read my negative horoscope :(... Leo is such a curse.

Astrology is not something that tells you how life is going to be. It just tells peoples qualities and defects.
Life is always what you make of it, but if you know your qualities and such you may use it as an advantage.
Just like Tarot does not tell you the future, but shows signs that then only you should make them out and use it for advantage.

It is all on purpose since societies opened to Astrology. It is intended to be read from people who were initiated into it, not by the ordinary person. So the miss information is to not let the ordinary folk take advantage of it.

This forum is bizarre sometimes.

The zodiac signs are just patterns of potential characteristic of a person, not something set in stone. I shared a lot of the traits assigned to leo, but after the teenage years my personality has changed so much, that barely any of them remained. It never made me feel miserable or worse in any way.

I never cared much about horoscopes and I definitely don't believe in fate, because if there was one, we wouldn't have so many lost souls, having trouble to find their own path. However, you can absolutely change your personality, if you wish to do so, but in my opinion it's much better of finding comfort in who you're, instead of adjusting to some kind of standard.

Well, every sign exists as a part of a larger sequence and are influenced by eachother.

Theoretically you are supposed to comprehend all of them, how they interact, and how those cycles play out for you personally.

Then you can move beyond what you feel are limited, pre-programmed and predetermined outcomes for your life.

Unfortunately the methods which have become common in modern cultures don't really emphasize change. Even very traditional methods such as Da Liu Ren fall subject to this, as they need to maintain their own traditional framework in order to continue to exist.

In my country Astronomy(kundali) is a horrable thing because of the scale its believed on. its really dangerous to mess with natural order without being capable to understand or digest it. even the idea or meme of it is dangerous. people start believing horoscope on who to marry and in many cases people cant marry who they want to, end up living life like a controlled mathamatical robot always looking for right answer to feel justified. even when they make houses or delivering babies they look for right timing (sometimes forcing delivery before time).

for average people life is not to be concluded or calculated, its to be lived.

like @Helena and @Thomas Anderson said human behaviour can be studied and calculated. but that dosent mean your decision wont be yours. or that there is a right answer. your choice will be your choice and so will be your beliefs. im totally in support if you want to understand them. im just saying this because people of my country went really absurd.

there is this ancient myth in my country about a blind king who steals his brothers throne , marries a women who chooses to be blind with him and have 100 children(literally) who end up becoming arrogant and emotionally immature. doing wrong deeds in greed and end up losing everything.

again im saying this because free natural order is the best order. moral codes written on books and stones wont help.
