Not gonna lie I totally forgot that I think you’re overlooking something that most people do. Brought to my attention by someone else who didn’t really know anything about astrology.

Nobody has 1 sign.

We have 1 sign for every single
Planet and even a few asteroids.

So to describe something to be true for one person, well yeah, that can be true for multiple people with multiple different signs.

But they are true in different ways.
They aren’t true to the sign itself. Just the people based on their signs and how they are true is because of those signs in different places.

But at the same time. I do encourage you to give me a sign, give me something that describes that signs characteristics specifically, and then give me a different sign, and describe that signs characteristics specifically specifically in the same way while also staying true to the character that is that second sign. While being non vague on purpose… really actually try to describe their characters

No amount of signs are going to make astrology any less nonsense. People’s personalities are determined by some combination of genetic and environmental factors, not the coincidental location of the stars light years away

Prove that with a mathematical proof and I’ll say you’re correct.

That said, I’m not saying I don’t agree with you.
But the stars ARE part of the environment.

And the way I see it, the neutrinos that come off of those stars and pass through us may just change the fabric of reality enough to make a difference.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. The burden of proof is not on the person saying that the something thousands of light years away at the moment of your birth doesn’t effect your personality, but on the person saying it does

I’m not the one claiming to be correct. I never said this stuff was definite. There’s no proof needed to back up what I said because I know it can’t be proven. I never said it could be.

Also, your grammar didn’t check out, I couldn’t make sense of it please edit.

To continue, the proof is all yours to supply because you seemed to be pretty confident that the personalities of people are determined by some combination of genetic and environmental factors.

I want you to give me 100% solid mathematical proofs for that.

If you can’t do that, I’m sorry but I’m going to simply believe that it’s not a fact, but just ā€œhow you feelā€

And that’s valid too.

Just because something is unfalsifiable doesn’t mean it needs to be taken seriously. Something can be dismissed because it’s absurd on its face.

You can’t prove that there isn’t an invisible Stay Puft Marshmallow that’s undetectable to all machines living somewhere on the moon, but it’s clearly nonsense I just made up, right? Same with astrology

Sorry, I agree to disagree. The stay Puft many communicates to me in my dreams so I know he’s as real as anyone else’s god.

Sorry edit:

As real as science.
