Would you return to a non-astrological mindset as you were before you learned about Astrology? Or still subconsciously take a astrological standpoint as a bad habit that you need to learn to stop doing?

Would you be happy about this conclusion, or disappointed? And why?

I will personally prefer it as false.
Because I will feel free from Astrology's defined personality, and that I will not have personality characteristics that I cannot change, or at least naturally.
(I always felt like Aquarius the most anyway, even though there is not one Aquarius placement in my chart) (Well, Virgo, too, but I only have a Virgo Sun. Perhaps a mix of them two)
And also, now everything can be explained for me (As Astrology is the only thing that really gets to me, as to how it somehow works and cannot be logically explained)

There is no way you can prove it true or false.

But I don't believe in those things, or at least see no evidence to support them.

But with Astrology, I can see it in people, so I believe in it. At least for now.

We can all be looking through a certain filter with Astrology, and just do not truly realize it.

To me, Astrology does not fall into that category.

If Astrology is true, I'd take it seriously.
Since I believe it is true for now, I therefore take it seriously. It's fun too, though.

I mean, if Astrology was just for fun and I didn't truly believe in it, then I would not be on this forum, nor will I ever think about it. I will not be "oh, it may or may not be, but all that matters is it's fun." I'm not like that, as that will be a waste of time. It's not fun unless it were true, or at least I believed it to be.

Yeah but I mean I do believe it is true, but I don't think I know all aspects of astrology yet, so I won't try to let it guide my everyday life and freedom of choice. If I really believed in it, maybe I shouldn't be with my s.o. cause we have a poor synastry maybe, but I would never let that influence my feelings towards him. I believe a bit more on my emotions regarding that matter:P

Yeah, I agree with this.

Just because Astrology says something, that doesn't mean you have to listen to it.
Especially with a relationship, you go with what you feel, not what the chart dictates.
Sure, you can look at the partner's chart for reference, but not let it change anything about your relationship.

Astrology can be really accurate but then, it could also be a little off with regards to psychological definitions or predictions. Just like us humans, astrology is very complex. Today, things that cannot be explained by astrology may be explainable in the future. Astrology, just like everything else, evolves. Rules in reading charts could change and new styles of astrology could be discovered in a fair amount of time. So, we cannot really say it's completely false just like we can't say it's completely true. As far as I've learned, nothing in this universe is certain. You only see what you believe. As for realists, I don't know why they keep looking for solid answers when nothing really is certain.

Also, never underestimate the power of free will. The squares and oppositions in a natal chart tell you on what you need to work on improving. You will feel the energy of these negative aspects, but it still up to you how to redirect that energy.

Truth is a fact. Interpretations aren't facts. Astrology resembles social science more than science. Astrology takes facts and tries to interpret it. It is a sum of people's interpretations, but has room for exceptions. Astronomy is a science. Astrology isn't.

What's the wrong thing about astrology? Psychology and other sciences are as flawed as this one too and no one says anything bad about them.

---

Honey, psychology is a social science, not a science. It didn't get there overnight. It took several generations of groups of people who to bring it to the spotlight, convinced people that it was valuable, therefore important and it is only today that we even think of it as a normal part of our lives and education. Astrology hasn't arrived with the same level of splash and acceptance. It will take a while.

Have you looked at your declinations to see if Uranus or the cusp of your 11th or a planet in the 11th House or ruling the 11th House is parallel or contra-parallel within 1° of an angle ruler or your Sun or Moon?

I ask because I couldn't understand my Moon very well until I was made aware of declinations and saw that Uranus was tightly parallel my Moon. The descriptions fit to a T and naturally put a lot of past experiences into perspective.

As for your question, I would be upset that it isn't real because of the effort I put in to learn about it but it's a journey after all.

Some would be habit, of course. I would just continue looking to psychology instead of astrology.

Yes, I have a Gemini 11th House Cusp with the Moon there. The 11th House ruler; Mercury, is in Libra in the 3rd House. I do have Moon quincunx Uranus, in a Yod with Pluto as well, though. Also, my moon is in Aquarius's Decan, if decans even exist.
But Aquarius and Uranus are in like 6th place with the delineation on Astro.com, lol. (Actually, Aquarius may be further than 6th place. I think maybe 8th. It changes when I add or take away additional objects of course, though)

Yes, and by the smile on my face.

Emotions are what drive people, so if something makes me happy, then that drives me to do something, thus, do something to make me happy.
