15 Insights into How Men Manage Astrology-Obsessed Girlfriends

Astrology's rising among women. A user recently asked, "How do men handle astrologically inclined girlfriends?" We've compiled the key responses!

DEPENDS ON HOW INTO THEY ARE

"If they enjoy astrology without it ruling their life, I'm fine. If it's an excuse for absurd behavior or dominates their personality, it's a no-go. With my current partner being heavily into it, I'm doing my best to work around it."

ACCEPT THE PERSON YOU LOVE

"My wife loves astrology, numerology, and magic, using crystals and saging the house. I'm a skeptical atheist. Still, I love her dearly and often partake in her rituals, like tarot readings and reiki."

I DON’T CARE

“As long as they dont expect me to partake, I don’t care.”

LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS

"99.99% of 'astrology girls' won't bother you constantly. They're mostly ordinary people. I let people enjoy things."

IT IS FINE WITH ME

"If it's a big part of their identity, I treat it like dating a religious person. But if it's too much, I'd find someone more alike. As long as it doesn't oppose my core values, it's fine."<

WORKS FOR ME UNTIL SHE GETS OBNOXIOUS

"I nod quietly, letting her talk after a correct assessment of my Leo rising. If she gets obnoxious, I might ask her to chill."

THINK OF IT LIKE RELIGION

"My wife likes astrology but isn't pushy. If it's not harmful or forced, let it be, even if you disagree. If something's important to you, find a like-minded person, like a spiritual person."

FOLLOW ALONG

"I occasionally dabble in astrology and sprinkle it into conversation, making spot-on guesses that amuse her. She may think I'm clueless, but she wouldn't ever suspect my technique."

ACCEPT AND MOVE ON

“It is the same way I deal with friends who read sell-side research or watch chart patterns when trading. Accept it and move on!”

JUST ANOTHER INTEREST AREA

"Treat interests like fun, not all-consuming. No harm in being weird, curious. Same applies to men's sports passion or adults enjoying kids' content (Marvel/Disney/Harry Potter)."

BRING IT UP IF IT’S OPPRESSING

"Nod to others' quirks; astrology can offer a sense of direction without religion. Use a dreamcatcher if it brings peace and is aesthetically pleasing. Tarot and horoscopes are harmless, but crystal and magnet healing indicate a scam. If it becomes oppressive, discuss it. Finding middle ground means she values you."

TRY EXPLORING IT

"It's not a big deal exploring pseudosciences for fun. It's like exploring religions when confident about your own. Real or not, I care why the concept exists".

SUPPORT HER INTERESTS IN MODERATION

"Support her interests as you'd want her to support yours. Moderation is key. If it's straining your relationship, discuss it."

THERE’S NOTHING TO DEAL WITH

“There’s nothing to deal with. Everyone is crazy. Astrology is one of the less problematic forms of crazy.”

LIVE WITH IT IF SHE ISN’T OVER THE TOP ABOUT IT

“If she isn’t over the top with it, just live with it; if she’s going out of her way to tell me that I want steak on a Tuesday cause I’m a Pisces, then let’s all just move on.”
