@Unofficial_Member “That is what non-believers would say.”
If by “non-believers” you mean “people who aren’t deluded about how the universe works,” then yes. That is exactly what we would say.
“Resist the astrological information as much as you want”
I’m not resisting anything. I’m denying that astrology provides anything worthy of being called “information.” It’s nothing more than confirmation bias and the Forer effect—two cognitive biases strong enough to make people overlook the fact that the entire theory was based on assumptions we now know are false (e.g., that the sun revolves around the Earth, that there are only 12 constellations on the zodiacal ecliptic, that those constellations are real objects consisting of stars situated close to one another, etc.) and that there is no evidence for any of the claims made by astrologists (who do not even have a plausible explanation of how objects in the sky are supposed to effect so many aspects of an individual’s life).
“that doesn’t prevent other people from easily utilizing the information and reaping benefits from it.”
Astrology is nonsense, and attempting to match yourself with another person on the basis of astrology is nonsense upon stilts. Life is hard enough without tricking ourselves into thinking that every coincidence is a marker of destiny. Taking astrology seriously can give you false hope for a relationship that will go nowhere and may keep you attached to a relationship that you would be better off abandoning. If those are the “benefits” of astrology, then I don’t need them. Anyone who wants to be in a happy relationship should focus on the things that really matter—which does not include the relative placement of objects in space at the time of one’s birth.
