    Also astrology is gateway to prejudice, since a lot of racial stereotypes also involve some aspects that can be read as positive. I knew a “spiritual guy” who got into the far-right that way (plus that a lot of people don’t treat Julius Evola’s garbage literature nowhere seriously enough - they’re literally just prequel to Mein Kampf).

      The whole idea of astrology is that your date of birth determines who you are as a person. If two people share a birth date, it would make sense that those people are very similar if the assumptions of astrology are true.

      These two people share a birth date and not much else. They are extremely different people, because the assumptions are not true.

        I believe that the astrologers have come up with an explanation for how people can be different, but born the same day. I remember seeing ads back in the 90s for astrologers who would make super specific horoscopes, if you would send them cash and your exact time of birth and location. You’re not the same person as someone who was born 30min earlier 50km away? Of course you’re not!

        SMH what a load of crap
