Astrology is the oldest science. It simply works and deniers are blind. Here's some counter-counter-arguments:

"The constellations aren't even stars that are next to each other!"
"The constellations have changed through the years! Nowadays we would need 13 signs!"

This attributes a magical property to the alleged shape of the stars in our sky. No magician ever believed such a thing.

This is like a flat earther "disproving" globe earth by pointing out that "north" "east" south" are all invented. There is no cardinal direction in the real world. But it doesn't matter, its just there for convenience.

There's a need for 12 signs, 12 houses. The constellations were invented afterwards, to simbolize the general direction of stuff in the cosmos. Change it however you wish, but mantain the 12 houses/signs and their symbols.

> Ptolemy decisively explained the theoretical basis of the western zodiac as being a tropical coordinate system, by which the zodiac is aligned to the equinoxes and solstices, rather than the visible constellations that bear the same names as the zodiac signs.

"How can stars far away affect us so deeply?"

Again, the stars of the constellations do not matter. Planets, the Moon and the freaking Sun DO have a measurable gravitational impact on Earth. Also, Pluto was discovered in 1930 so it was never part of classical astrology.

In the same way the small gravitational difference of where the Moon is makes up the ocean tides, it affects our biological small-scale systems on the molecular level. The moment of birth is a deeply "traumatic" moment when a lot of neural pathways are created or "solidified".

If Astrology works what does my chart tell you about myself?

Use the website AstroTheme so I can see your PoF and Lilith if you want to know what to actually do/avoid.

This chart is not good at managing its own home in general and communicating effectively at home/with partner/with family. Problem with intimate relationships due to emotional shyness.

You are a good friend/acquaintance that brings energy into the situations.

My guess of your life story: depressed/low-energy child confronting your biggest "spiritual challenges" quite early. Maybe bullied/abused? You leave that behind by finding more harmonious surroundings and relearn who you are, get some practice in interpersonal relationships with friends/community/work-mates, find yourself spiritually (by exploring drugs maybe?), then you get some very vivid mental images of how you want things to be and achieve some kind of success by sharing that vision with others.

This is according to my own studies and most current astrologers would probably say very different things, specially because they value a lot the "personality" of each specific planet. Anyway if this struck a chord give me your PoF.

Hey OP, thanks for this post.

Over all the years of studying I really do appreciate how it is structured and the accuracy of it. I like what you said about Ptolemy.

Now over time, I have come to appreciate Ophiuchus. I get a lot of flack for it >You're a hipster. >It doesn't mean anything.

For me, I sense an archetype that isn't necessarily in the 12 signs but is becoming increasingly more apart of our reality.

Ophiuchus
>Raw intelligence
>Transmuting deep anguish/abuse in self and others
>Understanding how the world works as a system
>Cold but necessary decision making for the system
>A.I.

Shadow Ophiuchus
>Pain
>Being backed into a corner
>Being taken advantage of
>Torture
>Giving up
>Blind rage

I think it's interesting Ophiuchus is in between Scorpio and Sagittarius. It adds to the whole overarching story that the Zodiac tells.

Thoughts? Anyone else?

>If you don't think this is a shitpost
For fun, potential ruling planets of Ophiuchus?

I'm going to bite because I've been forever looking for a convincing argument.
All that's in the OP I had already thought of, and what I'd thought was closer to the way that this astrology thing *could* work is:
The moment you are born into this planet is the first interaction you ever have with the outside world and so it affects you deeply, even if the overly materialistic approach would deny it, this influence probably does exist and is strong enough to affect something in you. The season in which you are born (early spring, mid summer, late autumm, etc) is one of such influences, as might be the time of the day.
I can go with this, but then there is the fact that between the day you're born and the day you're questioning astrology, at least a decade has passed. This decade has seen a huge amount of variation in the stimuli you've received, that is, your experience. Your social status, your family, your parents, teachers, friends, your culture, region, climate, and many other experiences that have come your way, all that affect you very directly and they actually have a huge impact on your conscious life.
So that's the counter argument that immediately comes to mind. With such broad variation at birth, and being it such an early stimulus that has had plenty of chance to fade agains the rest of the much more immediate stimuli you've gotten through the years, and being there such an immesurable amount of variation in this field, how is that initial stimulus any relevant by the time you're 20 or more?
Certainly, I have a very hard time believing that these vague categorizations such that "pisces is sensitive and caring" could apply to all people born under the same sign, people each so unique and shaped by wildly different backgrounds.
Pls explain. I'm genuinely interested in hearing an argument that's at least remotely convincing.

As we left the park G. stopped talking and was going a few steps ahead of us. We five walked behind him talking together. In going round a tree G. dropped the stick - ebony with a Caucasian silver handle - he was carrying and one of us bent down, picked it up, and gave it to him. G. walked on for a few steps, then turned to us and said:

"That was astrology. Do you understand? You all saw me drop the stick. Why did one of you pick it up? Let each of you speak for himself."

One said he had not seen G. drop the stick as he was looking another way.
The second said he had noticed that G. had not dropped the stick accidentally as happens when a stick gets caught in something, but that he had intentionally loosened his hand and let the stick fall. This had excited his curiosity and he had waited to see what would happen next.
The third said he saw G. drop the stick, but was very absorbed in thinking of astrology, particularly trying to remember what G. said once before, and did not pay sufficient attention to the stick.
The fourth saw the stick fall and thought of picking it up, but at that moment the other picked up the stick and gave it to G.
The fifth said he saw the stick fall and then he saw himself picking it up and giving it to G.
G. smiled as he listened to us.

"This is astrology," he said. "In the same situation one man sees and does one thing, another - another thing, a third - a third thing, and so on. And each one acted according to his type. Observe people and yourselves in this way and then perhaps we will afterwards talk of a different astrology."
