I'm assuming you MEANT to ask "what contributes to an atheist who who hate astrology and spiritual people" (your title isn't clear). Unevolved Leos can take their dogmas way too personally as well as use them to feel better than other people so something there, I suppose (but they could just as easily be religious who hate astrology and/or atheists). Perhaps Saturn-Mars-Pluto in 9H, especially if a Cancer or Scorpio moon who felt betrayed by religion. That's just off the top of my head. IP: Logged |

Yes, that's what I meant. I didn't want to make the title too long. Hmm, that does sound right.IP: Logged |

There was a Humans of Nee York post where the woman spoke how the Uranus transit was affecting her. It was mostly wannabe scientist insulting people who believe or tolerated astrology. They were there to put people down and feed their own egos IP: Logged |

People with Virgo Mercury and/or Virgo SN, can be very skeptical of esoteric things unless they really investigate these things for themselves (but some choose not to).Also, a chart that is predominantly earth/air - lacking water/fire... would indicate a disinterest in spiritual matters in general.

In case it needs to be said, not all atheists hate or hold all things metaphysical in contempt, just as not all religious people hold all occult or scientific concepts in contempt.Dawkins, however, doesn't hesitate to spread contempt. You can see the astrological thread on him here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/222431.html Keep in mind that plenty of atheists, skeptics, and secular humanists (who can be religious, btw) often take issue with his caustic and alienating character. That is don't just look up Dawkins and think "all atheists are like that." I know skeptics and atheists who despise astrology who dislike Dawkins a lot more than I do! IP: Logged |

Obviously, I know that non-spiritual people aren't all atheists, etc. What I meant to say is the people who don't believe in ANYTHING. I guess that wasn't clear. Sorry.IP: Logged |

I know a certain kind of Christian that regards astrology along with psychic abilities as coming from "Satan" and "the work of the devil." lol IP: Logged |
