Astrology, not Horoscope.

"WOAH THIS IS SO ME!" did you by chance, say that just now after looking through the basic traits shown on the table above? If yes, you are normal guys. You are not into Pseudoscience Belief nor betraying your belief in religion LMAO.

They are called Astrological Signs. There are 12 Astrological Signs which you can find out which one is yours based on your birth date as shown on the table above. These signs came from Astrology; a study of the celestial bodies' positions in the sky.

"Astrology? I thought they are called Horoscope?"

Well, do you know the difference between Astrology and Horoscopes? If not, I guess you’re more familiar with Horoscopes because the Internet and printed materials frequently have some talk or sections about the daily or regular Horoscope readings.

By definition, “Astrology” is more of a study of the celestial bodies’ positions in the sky. In this sense, many regard it as a form of science or pseudoscience. Some Astrology experts also highlight it as a form of belief that the aforementioned planetary positions have some direct effects on the development of human affairs and the occurrence of earthly natural phenomena. 

Astrology

By contrast, a Horoscope is a diagram, chart, or graphical representation of the heavens. This graph or chart shows the planets’ positions and the zodiac signs. These diagrams are used by horoscope enthusiasts in the computation of births and the art of foretelling the future events of one’s life. Being guided by such, a person can be advised to act in a particular behavior so as to make his day better. 

Horoscope Daily Fortune telling

See? They are different. And fyi, I DEFINITELY DO NOT BELIEVE Horoscope. It is a nonsense for me. I believe that only Jesus knows my future and anyone cannot tell me what He has planned for me. 



But different case with Astrology, I appreciate Astrology.
"Throughout most of its history, Astrology was considered a scholarly tradition. It was accepted in political and academic contexts, and was connected with other studies, such as astronomy, alchemy, meteorology, and medicine. At the end of the 17th century, new scientific concepts in astronomy and physics (such as heliocentrism and Newtonian mechanics) called Astrology into question. Astrology thus lost its academic and theoretical standing, and common belief in astrology has largely declined.Astrology has been rejected by the scientific community as a pseudoscience, having no validity or explanatory power for describing the universe. Among other issues, there is no proposed mechanism of action by which the positions and motions of stars and planets could affect people and events on Earth that does not contradict well understood basic aspects of biology and physics.Scientific testing of astrology has found no evidence to support any of the premises or purported effects outlined in Astrological traditions. In one study, participating astrologers attempting to match natal charts with profiles generated by a psychological inventory produced results not significantly at variance with random chance."
Knowing how people think Astrology as nonsense as I think Horoscope is, bothers me. Because it even was considered as a scholarly tradition DUH. Ever since I learned Astrology, I started to understand people better as I got to know their basic good and bad traits. Of course, not 100% basic traits of the 12 signs true to what it says but I have personally found that 90% true to what it says just like how a Leo like me is warmhearted and ambitious, or how a Cancer is very sensitive and nurturing, how a Sagittarius is optimistic and philosophical, etc etc. I take it as a knowledge. It helps me understand people better and it feels like a mere Psychological science for me. 

Hippocrates on Astrology Science

But surely, I will never allow Astrology affects my openness to people or be a justification to my bad traits such as my big ego or my jealous nature as a Leo. I always think that we can always change ourselves for the better. Although yes, it helps me knowing who would likely match myself and who would not likely match myself like how a Leo would likely to be very compatible with Aries, Sagittarius or Gemini or Libra and be least likely to be compatible with Scorpio and Aquarius because even one of my best friends is a Virgo (and i love her so much despite our differences) and my first love was a Scorpio man (i couldnt help falling for him).

What I'm saying is, it does not rule me. But I cannot deny that my Sagittarius best friend is very compatible with me (we almost never have fights for over 5 years!) or how I fall for mostly Libra and Sagittarius men and that I find it hard to deal with Scorpio people. But then again, when you actually find a science very beneficial for you, why would you ignore it? I gotta say that it is a waste if you don't know Astrology because you can use it to understand people, know what they love and what they dont know what do they expect from you in your family, business, or school for good and even helps you finding out your potential loyal lover HAHA. I even find it helpful to understand my new acquaintances LOL because, take a deep look in your society, your family members, your colleges, your friends.



Could it be that you Sagittarius people have been too blunt to the sensitive Cancer even if you think that what you said is not rude? Or could it be that you Aquarius people have been too detached to your clingy Scorpio lover because you think that couple does not have to be in couple bubble?

I suggest you to find out Astrology and tolerant the people around you. And hopefully, no more questions like "Why can't you understand me?!"  and no more questions to me like "Why do you believe in Astrology?" because nope, I don't believe it, I just found it true and helpful. I will still be my best self in any case to be the best for people who are dear to my hearts.




Cheers to the knowledge in this world,

First Post; Hello.

First post on blogspot.

Am not a very creative person. But I always wish to be one. just like how I always loved music but never able to play any instrument.

I have a lot of things in my mind. Mostly random but I think thinking it by myself can be unhealthy since I tend to over-think things so...

So I hope I can convey my random thoughts here hahaha
