Speak out against pseudoscience. Astrology does not represent any accurate description of the world we live in. The notion that position of the sun at the moment of your birth somehow affects your personality not only raises some very serious questions about free will, but it is fraud and there is no evidence in its favor. Almost everyone has been indoctrinated with the alleged characteristic of their star sign; they identify with something false about the universe. It is so weird and stupid, almost dangerous.
In actuality, we are a part of the cosmos but not in the trivial way pseudoscience would have you believe, but in the deepest ways. We are under the influence of a star, our sun! It warms us, drives our weather and makes all life possible, and the sun is only one of several hundred billion just in our galaxy. Speak out against pseudoscience!
