Astrology has ruined me 😂😂

Understanding Astrology's Role in Personal Interactions

Many people use astrology to understand personalities, but it is not definitive. Focusing on individual traits rather than zodiac signs can improve relationships and reduce reliance on astrology. Practicing mindful interactions helps build genuine connections without overanalyzing birth charts.

Every time I start talking to someone I’m guessing their sign.. personality traits being put into categories 😂😂

Am I the only one?

I’d like to ignore it and just take it as it comes & not worry about their birthdate, their sign, if they are an astrology match, if they are a freaking Aries or Leo 🤪🤪 I’m gonna practice lol

Yes I have to admit since I know more I'm guessing those things and even ask people about it, but I don't juge much by it. Of someone is cool then they cool. Even more, I'm happy to break prejudices in astrology by that

Yes that’s it. But, I have been known to blow people off because it wasn’t a sign I normally do well with. I did date Libras for a bit because I never had & was curious. 😂 and you do see some similarities. Now I just don’t want to know & my brain is but come on let’s fit them into categories 😂

Yes I have to admit that still when it comes to chemistry, I do get exited about some and less about others, and W some obvious I just don't feel chemistry, or I'm just saing to myself this 😂 it works partly subconsciously

click to expand

Agreed! I feel as I just need to to let things flow and see what happens, but pay attention to my instincts. Certainly if chemistry isn’t there, it just doesn’t evolve for me. Believe me I’ve tried… I can tell if I get excited then there is chemistry, but is it just the lust kind or more. Haha I like puzzles 🤪 so typically I have to slow them down when there’s a lot of chemistry. 😂 ya know cap venus lol

I wanna know their whole damn chart 😂😂😂 just knowing their sun sign is not enough. My coworker is a Virgo but she is very outspoken, feisty and sometimes rude. I KNEW she had fire in her chart so I asked her for her birthday/time but I was transparent about why (we are friends so it wasn’t too weird to ask lol) sure enough she has aries rising and sag mars. I KNEW she had some fire, she was not the typical Virgo at all lol

Oh me too

I want to know it alllllllll 😂

I do it but I dont make much of it. Its just interesting to see. I dont let it guide the relationship/friendship tho. Astrology is more of a hobby for me. I would never assume synastry would make a relationship work. I just enjoy the relationship and if a heavy coincidence pops up I will take note. But I dont approach a person based on their chart. Not saying you do.

Yes and no. Mostly when I guess someone's sun sign I am surprised when they say something entirely different on the spectrum. But the few people close to me I've run the full chart I've found the element and sometimes specific sun sign I guessed is dominant in their chart.

I do it all the time. Oddly enough a lot of the time I try guessing sign, and they end up being the sign before or after the one I guessed. I tend to get it correct based off of just looks more then personality. I know the rising is said to be the look of a person, but there are common similarities some sun signs share. Still, some throw me completely off. Though still find it easier to guess based off of looks then personality. Seeing a person face to face rather then guessing a picture helps a ton also.

I’ll admit I am guilty of this. In fact I’m more likely to size someone up based on our synastry more than I am likely to size someone up based on their financial status. 😂 That might be my Virgo Venus talking, though. Lol

After spending years with someone that I now realize I was not compatible with, it’s become much more important to me. We had horrible communication and honestly looking back, it was evident in our synastry but back when I first met him, I only knew about sun sign compatibility.

Oh I played with it trust me lol I just try to keep it seperate only because My mind likes to dig to no damn end lol. BUT I have seen WHY certain relationships didnt work. The coincidences were just way too strong. Man....I got one relationship in mind that was the most toxic thing ever on every....sinlge....level. And the chart SHOWED it. I wanna go into detail so bad lol

Its just I like to seperate them until they converge themselves which they sometimes do. Only because it took a long time to get here mentally with astrology I used to get offended by what I read and saw. Thats too sensitive lol

Nah this never happen to me. To make it short and sweet, I'm embarrassed by that sort of thing in real life. People gone look at me and run for the hills. In my head I'll probably guess someone's sign.

Edit: of course everybody already know my sign anyway. And they know I'm low key into it. I wear my zodiac sign merchandise with pride where everyone can see them ie my sign shirts, face masks, tattoos etc

Its like you can never come back... you see it all differently lol you cant help but have some bias from it...

Yes and

Sometimes a bias can help you be prepared for if things get hairy.

I don’t go into things like a naive Sagittarius (my former self), I go in open but now I have the tools to disarm and navigate my way out of disrespect

Simply meeting, especially at work, yes. Dating, no. I like to enjoy the ride and if they stick around long enough a birthday is sure to pass at some point and I find out then.

Astrological energy I can pick up on immediately because they simply rub me the wrong way after only few verbal exchanges: Caps, Gem females and Rams.

I can also pick up on Crabs and Fish energy quite quickly, not because they rub me the wrong way. Well, Crabs are hit/miss.

You've acquired knowledge. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

I tried ignoring astrology and compatibility reports, on a couple of occasions, and ended-up regretting it. When I did what I should have done at the very start, any red flags for the near future were very clearly pointed out.

Chances are you started this thread because you're really attracted to someone new but astrology is yelling out "NO!!!". In other words, you're desiring what you know you shouldn't have.

You are exactly right on the first paragraph. On the second one, I have a first date ( meet) tonight and I think I’m interested but I’ll know more tonight. It isn’t actually yelling out no, it’s more like variables that I’m wanting to fit in boxes to then figure out if this person would be good for me or not. So far, he might be. But with my history, I am so wary of certain things and I think that’s why my brain tries to sort it all. I know it takes time & astrology is just one way of evaluating. It’s way too early to do this, unless red flags really show up. I run charts to get an idea of if they have anything that’s a blaring red flags I guess. Hmmm so should I ask him his birthday? 😂

Ya I'm that way too.

I use the knowledge of the archetypes as personality types and find myself guess which one fits them AT THAT TIME.

I can defiantly say it shortens the time it takes to get to know people well enough to understand them. Really useful for co-workers. It's also really entertaining.

For co-workers I can slowly find out what annoys them or pisses them off consistently(moon venus) about customers allows me to pin down influences that have.

So far as thier dominates go, I've got : female Libra/Aquarius, male Libra/Pieces, male Virgo/cancer, female female Virgo/Cap, female Leo/water sign, young male Aries/Aquarius, and a older guy who is classic quite old goat stereotype.

Needless to say, a really chill environment👍

I'm tempted to peak to see how close I was but I don't want to create any biases. I'll look when there is a problem.

I’d like to get to know him a little, letting it evolve first without astrology. Sometimes it’s easy to attribute certain qualities to them when you know the natal details. But, it’s not necessarily accurate. I’d like to use astrology a bit after that. Still beginning stages, but not immediately.

Hmmm I kinda do this. But only if the vibe doesn’t seem right. I think it’s actually my Cap pieces that observe in that case. If the vibe feels right, the conversation just flows.

But the problem with doing that is you can easily get lost in the moment and are blindsided. And the honeymoon stage can last for quite a while.

I think it's your carefree Sag nature that's the root of your internal conflict.

Lol it won’t take me that long to find out his birthday and run his chart. I have too much Cap in me for that. It’s the two Cap/Sag that struggle against each other. Which maybe it’s a good thing. 🙂 I have been analyzing things to death in recent years. So I want to find a balance.
