Zodiac Is A Scam......see Reasons by HAKKINS(f): 12:33pm On Jan 27, 2017
10. BASED ON NO SOLID FACTS OR EVIDENCE Now, what these astrologers do is that they tell you
that because of the movement in the sky and change
of positions of different planets, there will be a
change in your personality too. However, this is only
based on what you believe and what they make you
believe. There is no pure evidence that this is what everything should be based on. Why is it that every
time there’s a change in position of different
planets, there’s a new theory to it and every single
time, there’s a different view by astrologers? A lot
of things depend on your zodiac as well, then why is
that with each different zodiac and the respective planet related to it, the astrologer’s point of view
changes? It makes no sense. A change in positions
and some movements here and there will not change
your personality every time that happens. Usually these theories are based on ancient theories
that are respect to change as well. IT IS A VERY
DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT. Things change and so do
circumstances. It is absolutely baseless when these
theories are based on ancient science, according to
sciences.


9. DIFFER IN VIEWS Following that, any change up there, in the sky that is,
if there’s a change in you as well, then why is that
not every astrologer believes in that? Every time you
go and visit different astrologers, they will have
different views on you. No two astrologers will think
on the same track. This proves that whatever movement they’re talking about, isn’t making any
change in your life. Nope, not happening.


8. DON’T EXPLAIN THE ENTIRE ASPECT This is one major thing that is absolutely explainable
about astrology. If you’re a person who regularly
follows astrology, then you should understand this
carefully. This theory is about planets and their
movements and how this change affects the human
life. However, there’s something called ‘dwarf planets.’ And with this, the only planet that comes
into mind is Pluto. There are other different dwarf
planets that also exist up there, but astrologers DO
NOT consider their movement and change in position.
And why is that? No, zodiac signs don’t relate only to the 9 planets.
The astrology of dwarf planets is completely
different. Basing your judgement on pure co
incidences or something that is JUST POSSIBLE is not
something one should take into consideration.

7. ALREADY KNOW IT! Sometimes, astrologers have the same thing to say to
almost everyone. They take advantage of the fact
that the other person, whoever is coming to seek a
little help about their future to maybe save something
they can handle, these are the ones who are fooled
by the massive ‘hoo-haa’ of astrology. They earn tonnes of money by the people who believe in them.
Sometimes when things go the right way, or because
of some co-incidence whatever they said is true, the
amount of customers for these astrologers increases.
These astrologers aren’t honest about whatever
they’re doing or saying sometimes. Their predictions are true sometimes, and with absolutely
no hard work and focus, they tell you everything
false about your future and this raises a huge
question on their existence. This is one very
important thing that has to be kept in mind.


6. WRONG PREDICTIONS We live in a world where science and technology has
an answer to everything. And so, let’s try and
make use of that and apply this theory of astrology
there. According to astrological theories, there’s
something called a ‘connection between celestial
bodies and human relations.’ This is where all the predictions come from. This is how everything is
decided in this theory. It is difficult to understand just
this. How can the astrologers give you answers and
predictions if they don’t exist? Yes, you got it right.
According to science, if you’re making predictions
on the basis of something called a connection between the two, your predictions are false. The sole
reason being that this kind of connection doesn’t
exist.


5. TIMING Lets just assume that astrology helps and is true. You
must be thinking what has time got to do with this
concept. But hear me out, this is true. Often when
astrologers make an assumption for your future, they
take the entire credit for it and you fill in their pockets
with loads of money. But what happens when the astrology is incorrect? This is what happens. The
astrologers make you believe that ‘the timing was
bad.’ Like seriously, and to people who’re regular
with these people are fully convinced with this
excuse.


4. ABSTRACT ASSUMPTIONS Okay, lets not talk about our own futures. When
astrology talks about human relations and behavior,
it includes the entire world. Now, lets only talk about
a specific country. Did you know? According to
astrologers, the movements of planets around the
sun and otherwise can AFFECT THE WORKING OF COUNTRIES AND NATIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE? Like totally assume a situation where you end up
going to an astrologer and asking, ‘hey what’s
going to happen to our country in 2020?’ They’ll just be like, your country will have a water
crises and there’s going to be a lot of politics and
debating on it. But here’s what you’ll miss out on.
Solutions to that problem.



3. CLASHING ASTROLOGY Its not just a particular country that believes in
astrology. You wont believe what happens in other
countries. What people in other countries believe in is
not the same for every country across the globe. Star
studying is something that helps these people learn
astrology. And so, sometimes this is also used to praise the astrology of one country over other
countries. Bias thoughts come through astrology, yes.


2. AFFECT ON PEOPLE The affect that wrong predictions have on people can
sometimes be adverse. Instead of creating a happy
and understanding environment, it might completely
change the environment of the house and can lead to
wrong conclusions. This is sad. A society simply
cannot work only on assumptions and predictions. It would be a disgrace to live in a society where family
relations aren’t taken into consideration in front of
some random assumptions an astrologer made.


1. BUSINESS FOR MONEY MAKING Anyone can become an astrologer. What’s the
harm? Just do a little background check on that
person and you’re done. Sit and make assumptions.
People are good at that. People earn money for
nothing and others even believe in them.

You made some valid points but I think zodiac readings are right to an extent but not accurate.
And it depends on the site.
That said I don't believe anyone should let daily horoscopes guide their way of living.

I have tested it occasionally with friends and family and I kid you not there's a direct relationship between a person's birth day and their personality traits.

No doubt it's also a business so there's an influx of quack sites out there that just make up stuff and people are gullible enough to believe.
I once tried a Numerology reading that I was even falling for till I got another message that I had to make some payments to get in depth readings. Good thing I asked a friend to also try it only to find out he was sent the same readings with a little tweaking here and there.

Point is, you just have to know how to filter out BS from the internet.
