let him realise his mistake on his own ,let him come out of the trauma of break up( but that would be difficult , thier self rightous attitude ,remember) and lastly talk softly but straight .
i have tried this a lot of times , it worked .

and , you are not responsible in any which way , so dont blame yourself . its his stupidity not yours.

Just tell him, that you don't use astrology as a reason to hate anyone, its a way to be more tolerant and accepting, and well aries-chick, don't blame this on yourself . You introduced him to astrology, he had his free will and choices and how were you supposed to know that everything would turn out like this? Let him learn by himself, there is bound to be a Pisces in this world, he likes loads, inspite of himself. Aand if he still is predjudiced (is that the correct spelling?) just tell your friends to tell him that they are not Pisces or something, so maybe he can look at people for what they are, not just some stereotypes, or you can also tell them, that Pisces have a little bit of the other 11 signs in them or something, and well you can also tell him that even if a person is any other sign besides Pisces, they still have pisces in thier chart, him too .
Hopefully it will be easy, and don't be too hard on yourself, forgive him and forgive yourself. Its just a learning process for him .

Just remember jupiter ruled people often go OVERBOARD with things. Jupiter always EXPANDS on things, and makes them bigger. Jupiter likes to OVERgeneralize. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system, and it took as many moons as all the other planet combined. Use astrology to make him see how hes acting just like his sign, the irony will be enjoyable.

He'll go overboard with this, just casually remind him of what I just said and maybe he'll shrink down a bit.

Lauren,

If your boyfriend is truly into astrology then he needs to learn astrology! Right now he is working with everything he knows about astrology and trying to see the world in an "astrological" way. So, to help him in his astrological journey, start with the most available person possible...himself. He can go to this website: http://www.geocities.com/wilsontctc

and learn astrology for himself about his own chart (he will need his birth information). Hopefully the challenge of truly learning astrology for himself will keep him from making overly general comments about others. And, if he DOESN'T want to learn more about astrology...then he was never into astrology in the first place and was just putting on an act.

Separating those who want to learn astrology from the "pretenders to the throne",

I wish I never even said anything about astro to him.

As tempting as it is, you can't think like this. You've done nothing wrong here. You were sharing something with a friend that you demed valuabel and useful in the hope that it could be valuable and useful to him as well. There's is no error in that. It's actually very generous. Ultimately, you can only make choices for yourself, and you are not accountable for how your friend has chosen to abuse astrology.

What others have already said is quite insightful. Just remember yourself that astrology is a tool, and like any tool, if you don't learn how to use properly, it can be used unwisely. Encourage your friend to learn more about astrology, to better understand it as a tool to help *himself* and not as a weapon for inducing blunt force trauma on other people. At some point he'll figure out that he's making himself miserible acting like this (even if he is a Sag). Granted he may simply become disillusioned and think all astrology is just crap, but if you lead by example and show him patience for his mistakes, he just may come around.
