This is where I guess we have different experiences and perspectives. For instance, I'm a Pisces. When I read about what Pisces people are like, it's hit and miss—some true, some not true, and at that rate, I have no confidence to believe it. For instance, I quickly grabbed this off a website:
Smart, creative, and deeply intuitive, Pisces can be close to psychic. Pisces feel things deeply, and have incredibly strong gut reactions. A Pisces "knows" things from deep within, and can often judge whether a person or situation is good or bad.
Me? Smart and creative, yes.
deeply intuitive, no.
Close to psychic? Not even close.
Feel things deeply, yes.
Have strong gut reactions: Hmm, depends.
Knows things from deep within, not really.
Can often judge whether a person or situation is good or bad: Not me.
So this short paragraph was right about 25-33%. A pretty bad batting average. I just don't see the evidence that astrological predictions come true.
So I looked at my predictions for today: (Again, I just grabbed a quick website, the first one I came across:
https://www.msn.com/en-in/lifestyle/horoscope/pisces-horoscope-today-9-june-2022-pay-attention-to-food/ar-AAYf1NRPrediction: It's time to speed up the plans. You will seize the opportunity. You will be interested in creative activities. You will meet your loved ones. Income sources will increase. Aesthetics will increase. Memory power will be strengthened. You will increase the happiness of your loved ones. Personal work will be completed. You will be effective in interviews. Set big goals.
This is laughable. It's a dull day at work. No one is coming to visit. Income sources will increase? I wish. Aesthetics will increase? I doubt it. We're doing construction, and are mostly in a deconstruction phase, not a rebuilding, aesthetic phase. Memory power will be strengthened? Unmeasurable, unable to tell. I will increase the happiness of my loved ones? I try to do that every day. Personal work will be completed: I hope so. This is what I do every day. But I'm involved in a long project in the attic; it certainly won't be completed today. I will be effective in interviews? I have no interviews.
So, "astrology predictions come true?" Not even close.
Let's keep talking about it. What's your response to all this?
