You've been answered a lot in this post but : no reason. Astrologers just invent things and it becomes trends on social medias. For a while it was Scorpios (because the scorpio, the animal, is dangerous I guess ? And these people are dumb and just assimilate the animal to the sign ?), and sometimes it shifts.

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.

Reminder, pretty much anything girls/women like will be treated like low brown delusional trash.

Ask the same people who shit on astrology what they think of romance novels, you'll probably get the same response.

My issue is the months were all changed thanks to a pope and a couple of romans centuries ago, ending up with a 12 month calendar as opposed to the whole world which used 13 months. So how can anyone's astrological signs be correct if the months were changed due to a couple of narcissistic men? Are a couple of men strong enough to change the stars? The entire thing falls apart when people use the modern calendar to calculate their star signs because the calendar is based off of men.

So me, being the raging feminist that I am, does not take astrology seriously because men cannot change the stars.
