How do you react to those who don't believe in Astrology? Personally, I don't care if they don't believe but if they starts mocking Astrology, I get fired up. My older sister doesn't believe in Astrology and calls it Fake. No matter what I say, she just repeats "fake" and "useless".

Her Sun is in Virgo and Moon in Sagittarius.

My Sun in Taurus and Moon in Scorpio.

Maybe because I used to be one of those people.

But then I met an astrologer who told me very specific details about my life that they could not have possibly have known. It was at a cheesy fair and I won a free reading so I went and got it, but only because it was free and I had nothing else to do. Did not believe in it at all.

And I'm not an idiot... I didn't give this man any clues at all as to my life. The only thing I gave him was my date/time/location of birth. Not even my name or even small talk did I give him.

From that point I simply could not deny that there was truth in astrology and I set out to learn about it myself.

She doesn't see how planets' alignments during her time of birth could shape or even explain her personality, life, and so forth.

I've got a Leo friend, with Moon in Leo as well, who thinks she knows it all with astrology. She consistently bases people off of their sun signs, which I tell her all the time isn't necessarily always accurate, but she tries to tell me differently. She's tried to get into the whole birth chart thing and checking out aspects but feels she knows enough about sun signs and can learn enough about a person through sun signs. It was a little aggravating when I was having issues with my partner and she would respond, "Well, that's a Sagittarius for you!" I would just roll my eyes because it wasn't worth it anymore lol.

Earth signs are the least likely to believe or people with heavy predominant earth. They're usually closed off and can't wrap their little heads about how planets and constellations could affect them since its not material or practical. Air signs are slightly more open to believe and are certainly more open about the idea because it fascinates them but again, their logical mind can't really compel them to really believe and sink their teeth in.

I've noticed its the fire and water people that tend to believe the most as they are in touch with the subjective experience of life much more so than the other 2 elements. Its no coincidence that I'm fire and water dominant lol. Also makes no coincidence that earth typically tends to be my least favorite element, specifically because of its close mindedness, something I cannot stand. That means i like air signs a lot more since they are open at least and can talk about stuff, but still get very frustrated because if its not logical, they're close minded as well. So I noticed I tend to gravitate towards fire and water signs simply because I can relate to them and them to me far better (or people who are dominant in these elements)

There was this Leo who asked me what I was doing and I said learning astrology. Then he decided to deride me so I started interpreting his chart and all he said was 'No, I'm not like that', 'That's not me'...

I got together with my Scorpio ex because of astrology. At a cybercafe, he saw me staring at a wheel on the computer screen and asked what it was. So I offered him a reading and then it all started. There's a lot that can happen over astrology.

I've got into a cycle with my guy where he mocks my astrological beliefs and I make fun of his religious beliefs. It's become an everyday thing and now neither of us really feels offended. He's a stubborn bull close to new ideas.

That's funny b/c I'm an Aquarius w/ Moon in Gemini and I LOVE astrology!

If someone shows interest, I'll explain the basics of it. If someone clearly shows no interest, then I won't bother at all. I feel like it drains MY energy trying to explain astrology to someone who is outwardly against it. At that point, I'm pushing my beliefs onto them.

If they say they don't believe in it, but are willing to hear my explanation on it, then for sure I would explain it.

It's funny b/c five years ago I could have cared less about astrology. I was also atheist and thought anything spiritual was BS. I'm the complete opposite now lol. Funny how certain things unfold in your life.

I'm an Atheist and I believe in Astrology.

You don't have to believe souls exist in order to believe Astrology has an impact on the brain.

I am 80% earth dominant. Still here I am. In a supposedly closed-mindedness of mine, I think that you can gravitate on fire/water types without looking down on earth/air types.

I am not being mean, just assertive. You can find quality people in every sign/ dominant element. And bad-quality ppl in every sign/dominant element.

At least, that's my belief.

This is true, and I wasn't trying to be mean either. In fact, I probably value Earth more than the other elements simply because its the one I lack the most. But regarding Astrology, my point still stands and I get frustrated easily with them is all. You are really the exception and not the rule. I've met loads of water signs that believe, but not too many Earth. And I was more speaking of the tendency towards disbelief, due to the closing off of anything not practical, and more importantly rational. If Earth predominant people took the time to study it, they would find it is very practical for them, which I'm guessing is what you did. Its just that initial tendency towards not even being curious and immediately shutting it out that annoys me. I seriously think I need to be more close-minded though, my mind is too open for my own good sometimes. The opposite of Fire is Earth after all. But as you can see, my bias clouded my first post ever so slightly xD. You are also so right on good and bad of every sign, nothing could be more true.

Hmm, interesting, I also have a mars in fire singleton and a pluto in water singleton. I know what you mean abb valueing what you mostly lack.

And what got me into astrology FIRST wasn't really the pragmatic side, but my gem sun, huge curiosity^^ (after that, ofc I am getting advantage of the knowledge in here and use it for the best. well, that's what earth does) I did noticed that water types are deeper into astrology ofc! but there are also taureans/virgos/capricorns really into it.

Glad that I found out your opinion is not based on dividing but on equality/or acceptance.
Wish you a nice day!:)
