Hear me out: if someone believes in horoscopes, they know what each sign mean. Which means they recognise themselves into a sign. Which means they will mostly act in ways to conform to that sign, giving you a way to figure that person out. The sign tells it all, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Horoscopes don’t tell you shit. Someone saying “I believe in horoscopes” is what tells you their personality
Exactly. That’s exactly what OP is saying.
No it’s not …
Which means they will mostly act in ways to conform to that sign
OP is saying understanding star signs influences someone’s behavior.
They’re not saying you can tell someone is an idiot because they believe in star signs.
Its what OP is trying to say
I got it just fine.
In my experience the big problem is not people self ascribing personality types but type casting others. When you expect others to have certain traits you also treat them accordingly.
I can’t believe she has trouble speaking in front of crowds, she’s a lion after all.
Then again horoscopes aren’t unified or anything and you can just cherry pick from different sources and cultures to believe anything.
The title is unpopular, but your explanation is reasonable imo
Cool idea, but I spent a lot of time amongst people who believed in star signs when I was young.
They will say “Virgo: the most generous star sign, OMG that’s so me. I like, super generous”, despite the fact they have never given a cent in charity in their life.
None of it influenced their behaviour apart from the ‘lucky numbers’, which probably got them buying a few more lotto tickets.
