15 Unexplainable Experiences That Make Non-Believers Ditch Sensibility and Become Astrology Aficionados

Astrology is a vast topic, and not everyone believes in it. A user asked the forum, “What made you realize astrology is real?” Here are the top responses. 

HAD SOME MYSTICAL EXPERIENCES

"My journey with astrology began with its rich history and use by intelligent minds. My view shifted from it being a personality descriptor to an archetypal cosmos after mystical, symbolic experiences."

TOO MANY COINCIDENCES

“Too many coincidences for it to be a coincidence, starting with my birth chart. I’m a Capricorn sun and moon with Pisces rising, and it shows.”

I GENERATED MY NATAL CHART

"My natal chart showing four major planets in the 9th house resonates with my interest in foreign languages and comfort living abroad."

MOON AND ITS INFLUENCE

"Someone once said, 'If the moon affects us, why not other planets?' After my daughter was born, her natal chart revealed a determined, logical child who will succeed."

I HAVE ALWAYS GROWN UP WITH ASTROLOGY

“I’ve always grown up with astrology; my mom has always been into occult subjects, astrology being one of them. When I looked up my family, everything matched their personalities.”

SUFFERED FROM INSOMNIA

"At 46, I discovered an article on insomnia and Mars placements which transformed my understanding of my condition and led me to extensively study astrology, once a topic I scoffed at."

COVID-19 AND THE GREAT CONJUNCTION

“It was COVID-19 and the Great Conjunction. In January 2020, the first person died in China, which coincided with Saturn and Pluto conjunct.”

STARTED LOOKING INTO IT WHEN I WAS 17

"Started research at 17, using hand-drawn charts and ephemerides. Explored other systems like astrology and psychology-based ones. Only pursued those that made sense and predicted patterns."

MOTHER’S DEATH

“My mother’s death (by her own hands). That and learning about asteroids and tracking them for 20+ years. Something’s are undeniable after time has proven them to be true.”

SPECIFIC PREDICTIONS

"Sun in 12th house implies father in jail or childhood hospital stays. Too specific to doubt."

SYNASTRY CHARTS

“Getting my parent’s birth information and doing our synastry charts. Witnessing all the karmic patterns happening. It allowed me to heal childhood wounds!”

DISCOVERED MOON SIGNS

“I tend to overthink and can be moody. I envied happy people, then discovered moon signs in astrology. Understanding my Scorpio Moon lifted me - knowing others might feel the same lightened my pressure.”

THIRD GENERATION ASTROLOGER

"I’m a third-generation astrologer. My family's accurate extraordinary predictions and my rationalist dad's conversion made it hard not to believe."

READ A BOOK AT 22

"I first read an astrology book at 22. Despite no prior exposure, it felt familiar. I could predict the signs' meanings. Go figure."

I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MY ASTROLOGY-OBSESSED FRIENDS ARE TALKING ABOUT

"I've always been interested in psychology and got into astrology to understand my friends. I've five friends with birthdays near mine, all so different. Now, I'm learning about the astrology of historical events!"
