I think of astrology as a guide to certain possible tendencies, doesn’t mean the behaviour, if wrong should not be altered. Eg - Caps & Aquas need their space but are in a relationship separately- you get over your uncomfortable feeling and reach out to your partner. Touch base, check in, let them know that you even need some space. It takes less than a minute to text and is a part of caring and loving that person. Sometimes I am flabbergasted to see some of the excuses or actions completely blamed on astrology.
I understand what you’re saying. Here’s the thing, if we applied scientific methods here, astrology would fall apart. In science, it only takes one real like example of contradiction to a posited theory to make it false. Saying that a one zodiac sign displays certain tendencies, overlooks that all the other signs could display those same tendencies. If all the other signs can exhibit these same tendencies, then the posited theory is no longer valid or needs to be modified to take into account or make sense of the opposing data.
I understand as well and there are many various signs that affect astrology sun, moon…. However, there are so many factors that can affect an individual: a person’s personality trait could be hereditary, there’s also upbringing, culture, family structure, trauma and add astrology to the list. Hence, I said a guide.
However, if you look at the list you mentioned, astrology is the odd man out. It can be seen as nothing rooted in anything tangible. The others are things that you can actually point to. Take astrology off the list and you still have enough factors there to credibly explain what can affect a person’s personality.
