Debunking the Myths: 15 Harsh Truths About Astrology

If you are into astrology, you need to know this hard truth. 

A user asked the forum, “What are some “hard truths” about Astrology?” Here are the top responses. 

NATAL ASPECTS

“Natal aspects vary depending on one's consciousness. What can show as selfishness for some might be emotional strength and depth for others."

IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD AVOID EXPERIENCING THEM

"Excessive focus on negative transits could hinder experiences. Don't let challenges in love, career, friendships or finances stop you from living."

PEOPLE ARE TOO MUCH HUNG UP ON KEYWORDS

"Astrology cookbook and Internet transmissions lead to overreliance on keywords, lacking synthesis. Online readings often miss personal planets' afflictions causing lack of confidence."

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT ACTUAL EVENTS

"Astrology predicts moods and energies, not exact events. Even twins born at the same time can have different lives due to free will."

FATE AND ASTROLOGY

Practicing astrology necessitates belief in fate or predetermination. Worldviews of psych-only and traditional horary astrology are opposing. Natal charts are predictive regardless of event occurrence. Link

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE MANIPULATIVE

"You needn't be manipulative as a Scorpio. Embrace power with integrity. Blaming archetypes or transits for your personality is senseless."

CONCEPTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED

"Planetary metals, Jungian archetypes & talismanic magic have been removed due to astrology's popularity. Hermeticism & academia must be reintroduced to distinguish true practitioners from charlatans."

MERCURY PLACEMENTS

“Mercury placements make your mind insane.”

PLANETS AND FAMILIES

“Planets also represent your family and relatives. The most complex truth I learned was when I was a ‘mistake’ in my family and why they treated me like trash from birth to now.”

YOU CAN WORK ON BAD PLACEMENTS

“There are, in fact, bad placements. Sure, you can work with it, or it may help in other ways, but you can have a bad piece in your chart.”

TOOL TO HELP YOU EXPLORE POTENTIAL OUTCOMES

"Astrology blends astronomy, anthropology, and statistics, similar to Poor Richard's Almanac. It explores potential outcomes but doesn't lock you in."

IT DOESN’T RULE OVER YOUR LIFE

“Your natal chart does not rule over your life.”

PUTIN IS A LIBRA

“Read about Libra. Libras are the kings and queens of compromise, and they like making peace between others. Putin is ‘Libra.'”

IT IS NOT A TOOL TO MAKE DECISIONS

“Astrology is not a tool for making decisions: Astrology is a tool to gain insights into yourself and your life, not a tool to make decisions.”

IT IS NOT A RELIGION

“Astrology is not a religion, and it has no religious affiliations.”
