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. |
