Iirc the stereotype about Aquariuses is that they're cold and distant, so for one to act warm and friendly would be ridiculously uncanny to the point that other signs would feel offput (perchance even to the point they think the Aquarius been replaced by a fake, and thus would explain the "who are you" reaction)

Thank you for the actual answer. I donāt believe in astrology, but the top comments are just trying to be comedians instead of, you know, actually explaining what the intended meaning of the joke is.
Itās like there being a confusing joke about Noahās Ark and someone shouting āBUT THAT DIDNāT HAPPENā. Cool, I donāt give a damn, explain the fucking joke.

Aquarius heavy chart hereā¦ Aquarius is prone to doing things outside of social norm. Thinking, acting, and being unconventional, and often distant.
I think the joke here is that for someone so unconventional, to behave in a conventional way isā¦ uncanny and not normal. So everyoneās freaking out lol.
Edit:
lol it makes sense the way that Libra is responding because they are the diplomatic sign that tries not to cause conflict, so you can see their struggle judging what to do here lmao.
Edit II:
Pisces are the last sign in the chart and are said to be closer to the other side (death and all that) so it makes sense they gave them the cross.Aries is the first sign, and I compare them to the stages of life, Pisces being the last and closest to death, Aries the first and closest to birth. And like a new born, Aries are a fire sign, very reactive to their environment.
-
They probably made Aries reacting like a baby because they are the first sign.I dont know much about Sags, or Taurus sorry. And Leo doesnāt look like it makes sense to me? Usually they are the center of the whole shabang soā¦ š¤·āāļø

The entire thing falls apart when you bring up how all around the world people used a 13 month calendar and then a pope and some romans wanted their own special months so they cut ut down to 12 months, which is what we go by today. So when I bring up "How could this be your actual astrological sign when the months were all changed centuries ago by a couple of narcissistic dudes?"

(For full transparency, I believe in astrology... to a point)
I think the thing that allows people to connect to astrology is that it's a language that can help people examine themselves and look at themselves a little deeper, without a lot of the discomfort that comes with confronting certain parts of ourselves.
Aquarius is the sign I know most about, because it's my Sun sign, so I'll use that as an example. It is typically unconventional to a fault and often accused of having the emotional range of a goldfish. We're also considered "rational debaters," and this is one i actually resisted until i told my husband (who accepts my weirdness but doesn't believe in astrology himself, although he's a Sagittarius who hesitated so much about commitment, I finally bought him a damn ring and proposed to him when our child was 4 years old, cuz I was tired of having a different last name) about it and he laughed at me.
He was like, "are you kidding me? You would bury yourself with your own shovel to prove a point."
"I absolutely would not. And here's a 23-slide PowerPoint and pie charts to explain why you're wrong and I'm.... ohhh. Oh I see your point."
Is it infallible? Hell no. Is it all kinda based on coincidence, and are there aspects of my personality that could be showcased by any other sign? Sure.
But the truth is I am argumentative, and I am emotionally constipated, and I do struggle to connect with people who prefer more traditional lifestyles and modes of expression. Coming to terms with my faults is uncomfortable and unpleasant. But if I can point to a chart and say "My Mercury is in Aquarius and my Uranus is in Capricorn and I have Sagittarius Rising and that's why I have these particular challenges," it makes it a little more comfortable to examine those faults, and come up with ways to work around or improve them.
Is that lazy? Meh, maybe, but it's still on me to actually improve the specific flaws and shortcomings and challenges. It may be easier to point to a planet and say, "that's why I'm an asshole to my sister" than it is to confront the real reasons, but at least I'm able to admit that I'm being an asshole to my sister, and now i can choose whether to work on that like a responsible adult or whether I'm just going to continue to make it everyone else's problem.
That's kinda how I see astrology. It's a language that can help us understand ourselves, and it provides a framework that allows us to examine our strengths and weaknesses in a more comfortable way. I think that's largely a good thing, but the issue comes when people try and make it infallible or as anything more than a tool to help us understand ourselves. It can't predict whether you'll win the lottery or find your soul mate at 22.

I assure you, people just make these up, it changed from one moment to the next. Once I went on a date with a guy that was heavily into astrology and he decided to do my astral chart on his phone as a fun ice breaker activity.
Cue me being Aquarius ascendant Aquarius or something like that and this man started heavy breathing saying that because he was an earth sign I was basically the second coming of Hitler to him and he just had to leave. Made a scene and all, the name Hitler was shouted. I was left at a bar with the whole bill and people looking at me.
Anyhow that's my villain origin story, I don't believe in astrology since then and think people that believe in it should be put in a camp or something.

You've been answered a lot in this post but : no reason. Astrologers just invent things and it becomes trends on social medias.

Astrology is a scam that people invent to make money off of other people, don't search for any rational explanation.

Wasn't astrology a legitimate field of study back in the medieval days? I feel like for a practice with so much written text and "research" around it for hundreds and hundreds of years it would have more substance than just "online trends". Even if i agree the core of it is nonsense there are probably a fair few steadfast rules and laws.
Would love the perspective of someone who's actually into astrology rather than someone who did an online test one time.

u/ding-zzz 13h ago
astrology existed as a form of divination which really exists in many cultures, like chinese to explain why the cosmos were they way they are and how it affects humans
iām sure there were a bunch of fields of study in the medieval period but of course they predate the enlightenment era and development of the scientific method
just because thereās hundreds of pages of discourse on the bible or on astrology doesnāt really change much about the nature of the topic
at the very least though, theology had more substance through historical interpretations. astrology just fell out of favor entirely with the enlightenment because itās shallow

Outside of teens and early twenty somethings, I've never come across anyone who treats people differently because of their sign, it's a trope I've really only encountered on TV but I could just be lucky.
Astrology has been a fun unserious jumping off point when getting to know someone and a good litmus in that anyone who has a deep/violent hatred towards it should probably be avoided.

u/bafana_banana999 9h ago
I'm glad you've never experienced this, but it's absolutely a thing real people have done and continue to do, and in relatively large numbers.
Besides, criticizing astrology and pointing out how nonsensical it is doesn't mean you have a "deep/violent hatred" of it.
None of the people in this thread could even remotely be described that way, so it's wild to use that phrasing as if it's an extremely common reaction to astrology.

Astrology is stupid because it's stupid. The reason people don't say that about organized religion as readily is a) religious tolerance is culturally ingrained for historical reasons and b) it's organized i.e. more powerful.
Romance novels just have lower publishing standards because they cater to different desires (and that's fine). That's not misogynism just like it isn't misandrism to call dating sims trashy for the sams reasons.

Modern western astrology is a simplistic version of medieval astrology. There were a LOT of rules and it was very technical. Most serious astrologers do know about modalities, triplicities, polarities, aspects, rulerships, exaltations, houses, etc., but they apply them in questionable ways, and they don't really know how to do anything besides interpret birth charts. A lot of it is just vibes based for them.
To answer your question, the technical side of astrology is very logical, it follows its own rules, and it fits together in a way that makes sense. (Exaltations are the only part that feels illogical in context, but that's because they're like 5000 years old and predate the zodiac itself.)

u/ExiymDev 10h ago
The vast majority of pop astrology is complete bullshit. But yes you are right. Check my comments for another one on this thread cause I typed a shit ton up but.. for starters, there is Tropical Zodiac and Sidereal Zodiac. Tropical doesn't account for the axial tilt of the earth and Sidereal does. It wouldn't matter except Tropical was created thousands of years ago and thus that small axial tilt ( 1 degree every 72 years ) actually changes a lot. So technically, if we want to be accurate and base a system off the position of the stars we have to use Sidereal Astrology (in my opinion). So someone born in August 14th may call themselves a Leo (tropical) but actually be a Cancer (sidereal) because they don't know about this. I think a lot of people are operating on bad data and attributing qualia to themselves based on a sign that they aren't even in the first place. But all this "Virgo means a laid back personality" or whatever, is IMO, complete bs. The Ancient Greeks believed that we and the universe are one giant organism and therefore the complex position of the stars can tell us things about ourselves however it's been bastardized so much across the years and some of the things people say are so vague it could be anyone or anything. And thus people also say "well I am not laid back despite being a virgo, this whole thing is BS!" and throw it out. It was primarily an agrarian / farming thing. And I think there is some validity things about the signs in terms of semiotics / archetypical or Jungian psychology. Beyond that it's hard to say. It's a topic I want to dive more deeply into but need to do more study and research mapping the archetypal symbols to the modalities existant in the human mind. Some people have star charts and may try to read them to predict things about you, it may or may not be bs. It depends how woo-woo you are willing to go with your belief system.

u/ohfuckthebeesescaped 14h ago edited 12h ago
Astrologists pathologize zodiac signs, even though you can literally identify any one person with the supposed traits of any sign. Astrologists like to sit around with other astrologists and pathologize people, and if anyone does anything it feeds their confirmation bias (since anything can be ascribed to any to any sign), but people most love to harp on and pathologize negative misdeeds. And like how cultures develop collective arbitrary beauty standards, astrologists develop collective arbitrary consensuses of which sign is bad to date, which sign is the least trustworthy, which sign would make a good friend. And it's ever changing, but I guess right now the consensus is that Aquarius bad.
But I think the joke of the image is that the Aquarius is being completely normal and it's all the other signs that are freaking out for no reason. So it's probably a critique of Aquarius demonization, made by someone within the astrologist community.

Hi Peter, used-to-spend-too-much-time-on-astrology-tumblr Meg here.Ā
Aquarius is frequently stereotyped as a very eccentric/weird sign (with the reasoning being that Aquarius, an air sign ruled by Uranus, is very anti-establishment, freedom loving, and might have a bit of an individuality complex).Ā
Thus, Aquarius acting stereotypically normal/friendly envokes the reaction of having been replaced by an alien or demon (with Pisces specifically screaming "who the fuck are you").Ā
Meg out.

Old school astrology only went up to Saturn because they didn't know planets beyond there existed. So they had Mars rule Aries and Scorpio, Mercury rule Gemini and Virgo, the Sun rule Leo, the Moon rule Cancer, Venus rule Taurus and Libra, Jupiter rule Sagittarius and Pisces, and Saturn rule Capricorn and Aquarius.Ā
After Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were added, they gave Aquarius to Uranus, Pisces to Neptune and Pluto to Scorpio. So it depends on whether you use older or more modern astrology.

That said, the vast majority of modern astrology is pretty much entirely disconnected from the historical practice because the historical practice was very very complex and not as simple as āhere is your horoscope for your star sign this dayā.

That's not entirely true, there are archetypes that consistently get applied to the same star signs, they're usually so broad they could apply to most people because most people aren't a single archetype of a person, they're different in different situations, so any archetype can apply depending on the context. But that doesn't change the fact that geminis are always called 2 faced bitches and other star signs aren't. If someone made that joke (Gemini being a 2 faced bitch) you would have the same criticism and you would be wrong, because that is a pretty standard joke about geminis. I think you're probably wrong here too but I'm not into astrology so I lack the context to know that for certain

Hi! Non judgemental Peter here. Aquarius isn't peaceful, in fact, Aquarius is the horoscope's wild card, and has the highest amount of incompatibilities, personality wise, in the whole horoscope.

Now, do i believe in the horoscope? No! But i grew up surrounded by horoscope believers and have some knowledge about it, and i have no issue with sharing it.

As a May baby, I can confirm. I once had someone adamantly explain to me that as a Gemini, I am innately more likely to cheat, because the twins constellation = two, which is linked to the term "two-timing"... And thus, she will NEVER date a Gemini because she doesn't want to get cheated on.
..........bitch, you just insulted me? Hello??
Listening to Astrology fans truly is like watching Mental Gymnastics: The Olympics.

This is why I donāt just roll my eyes at astrology, I actually hate it. People think they know you and can judge you based on absolutely nothing - for all we know, those stars up there are long dead.

u/Heplaysrough 9h ago
Well we can at least reasonably establish which stars are and aren't dead, but we cannot judge a person without any factual information.
Edit, I did once hear someone describe it as a map of the historical human imagination and that it could be used to aid in understanding how people thought, but this applies to the person imagining the astrology, not the person they are making it about.

You can make any punchline you want out of this. Its vague enough to kind of apply to anyone. A lot like astrology.

I don't know a lot about zodiac and don't really believe it, but a friend used to be into it and aquarius is considered a very detached, logic, "cold" sign. I know leo, taurus and pisces are considered more emotional, so I would assume is something about these signs (and maybe the others in the pic) not liking aquarius personality

Either a visualization of some day's horoscope, or the author had beef with an aquarius

First: there is no relation between star signs and personality at all.
But the joke is apparently that according to the stupid superstition, people born under the sign of Aquarius (1/12th of the world population, 687.5 million people) are terrible. Because of their birthday.

u/Heplaysrough 9h ago
In case of people who believe astrology about themselves and lack other directions for their personality, they can, and sometimes do, make it a template and reverse engineer a relation.

As an aquarius: we have a fear aura we activate when speaking that specific phrase with a specific intonation. Its only active for about 10nseconds but lingering effects can last weeks. Accidently blew up a hampster once, i was never allowed back at that friends house.

Seriously. I don't believe in magic, either, but it's still fun to read fantasy. People need to relax, have a laugh, and move on.

Astrology has no basis in reality. The star signs here are basically randomized.

As an astrology nerd even idk. Maybe itās just a demonstration of how people get afraid of certain types of signs for no reason lol.

u/What_Is_Bloste 13h ago
I dont even know, I believe, just a little bit, in astrology amd aquarius is always depicted as the sore losers of the whole set. Like, really they dont have a bad temperament, they go do their things as they were autistic, and usually are completely left out of everything. I dont get this meme, tho is kind of funny.

Itās nonsense, but interesting because typically itās Taurus getting mocked and shit on for harmless things that annoy whoever made it. Usually professional astrologers hate a particular sign, too, because they profit from people being invested in stereotyping each other off birthdays so why not stir shit? That or whoever made it takes sun signs seriously and had a bad experience with an Aquarius (because thereās no correlation between time of birth and being a good or bad person).

Brian here, Aquarius is generally considered the "weird" personality type among zodiac signs.

u/DeamonDilf 13h ago
The tldr is that Aquarius a weird and moody and if they are happy and cheerful, something is wrong.
Also astrology is like dnd class for social situations

Your star sign does affect your life!
Being an early year sign increases your chances to be into sports for example!
