      I used to be like you then I made this guy and kinda started dating and he was all about astrology and pluto and shit. Long story short? If because they re weak, theres no nice way to say it THEY ARE WEAK, so instead of accpeting things happens in their lifes because they do bad or because other did bad to them or because things didnt just work out, they blame planets and starts. This guy I used to talk used to think his bussiness was failing because of the aquarian age LOL when the reality (and I knew because I saw it) was his bussiness partnert being lazy and wasting their money in shit. His partnert not pluto

Of course, there are those other seven planets, NOT to mention Nibiru to finally make it's showing, terrifying all who see it.

      You can still use mysticism and even religion to apply to how you choose to go about and enjoy life. Thats fine and i believe should be encouraged. But it's when you start forcing those ideas onto someone else or going around and calling your beliefs "facts" that have not been proven and are nowhere close to being proven...thats when there is a problem.

    It makes sense to me that the time of the year you were born in and the consequences of experiencing that crucial period of development during those certain seasons can have drastic effects on your development.
    If you were born in the autumn you likely wouldn't experience the outside world as much because those first 6 months due to cold weather etc.
    Where as if you were born in the spring you would be more likely to experience more of the outside world.
    So to be clear- I don't believe in astrology, it's pretty batshit crazy actually, but I do suppose that the time of the year you were born in can effect your development.

    • @Enne-
      @Enne- 2 года назад +5

      But it depends on where you live... northern hemisphere will experience winter while its summer in the southern hemisphere.
      Then there are places where there is barely two seasons, like some places in the Middle East where summer is 10 months out of the year, and for 6 of those months its way too hot to be outdoors (45+C)

      And yet even those factors depend on your culture, your family and environment. A kid born in June to a parent who has agoraphobia or social anxiety probably wont be seeing much of the outside world and a kid born in December in Germany where life still goes on even when it's cold may see the outside world more
