quotations about astrology
What it boils down to is that each person has his own ways of coping with trauma and grief, with the pain of life, and astrology was one of mine. Don't criticize me, I wanted to say, until you have stood in my place. This helped me. Nobody was hurt by it.

Learning astrology is like learning any foreign language. You already have the ideas, concepts, and experiences of your life within you; you are just learning a new language for what you are already experiencing.

Your weekly reading will never tell you what will happen; it'll tell you what you "may" "be able" "to make" happen, so that you're never disappointed when you don't achieve financial success that night. After all, the horoscope never said you would.

[The stars'] influence on our fate is considerably less than the influence of a banana peel, on which you can slip and break your leg. But there is no interest in banana peels, whereas serious periodicals include horoscopes.... It lifts his spirits. The whole universe revolves around him, and even if things aren't going well, even if the stars are lined up in such a way that the suspenders manufacturer loses his shirt and the individual consequently loses his job, it's still more comforting than to know that the stars don't really give a damn. Knock astrology out of his head, and the belief too that the cactus on his windowsill cares about him, and what is left? Barefoot, naked despair.

Astrology is almost always about reading signs properly, but sometimes the content of those signs is less important than the fonts they're written in.

Astrology is one of the oldest and most accurate tools known to mankind.

There is nothing in astrology that approaches the normal level of scientific "proof", but there are intriguing patterns in the data that reveal something about the way we handle complex ideas and information.

The problem with ancient astrology and modern personality tests is that they tell us what we want to hear.

Love it or hate it, astrology is definitely a fun way to kill a few minutes on the Internet.

For all the non-believers still rolling their eyes at my allegiance to astrology, be honest: Can you admit some of your star-assigned traits are spot-on?

Lurking at a most remote extreme of our solar system is, if scientists are correct in their calculations, an extraordinary discovery that could utterly transform our understanding of the sky above our heads. The possible existence of this new giant planet -- Planet 9 as it has been called -- has gripped the world of astronomy. But it's not just boffins in their observatories who are excited by this tantalising discovery. Planet 9 has dramatic repercussions for the world of astrology -- and for anyone who follows their horoscopes.

As a curious Aquarius, astrology has always fascinated me, yet when I share my knowledge and passion about it with others, very few take me seriously--I mainly get laughed at, sassy eye rolls, or rude comments.

If you're an astrology nut, your zodiac sign is the guiding light that tells you what kind of day you'll have, and who to date, and what to read. And if you're an astrology hater, your zodiac sign is the thing that your friends who are into astrology keep bringing up to annoy you (as in: Oh, you think the zodiac is stupid? That's just because you're a typical Capricorn).

Astrology reveals the will of the gods.
JUVENAL
attributed, Day's Collacon
Disbelievers and professional astrologers alike understandably denigrate sun sign astrology, piteously trivialized in horoscope columns that appear on the newspaper comic pages for a good reason. Not that they find it false, but professional astrologers tend to view sun sign astrology as the cheeseburger on the astrology menu, an item whose mass appeal is only matched by its lack of imagination. Without it, however, the study of astrology is like climbing a ladder that is missing its first rung.

One thing I personally question is, why would someone pay to see an astrologer when you can get all your readings online for free?

Astrology enables us to feel a connection to this lifetime, as if our existence holds actual weight as thanks to our origination amidst the starry skies.

The boats that brought Puritanism, Quakerism, Catholicism, Judaism and Islam -- all the old world religions -- [to America] brought astrology and magic as well.
