At your worst, I believe there is nothing wrong with the constellation. If the horoscope says you will still have bad luck, you are already unlucky enough anyway. "Too many lice are not afraid of biting"; If fate says you will change your luck, it will make you feel better. If you are very lucky, you probably can't read the horoscope. It is too late to play now.
If the constellation is pre-science, so is Feng Shui. Now some people believe in Feng Shui. If we regard it as a part of landscape design, there is no way out. What about the constellation? In a question-and-answer program in the Guardian many years ago, someone asked if the constellations were rubbish. Someone said, "You suspect that all constellations are rubbish because you are Scorpio." According to this logic, you can't refute a believer. Someone replied, "It is reasonable to believe that people born at different times have different characteristics. For example, children born in September are often the oldest in the class, while children born in August are often the youngest in the class. Boys born in the cricket season are more likely to receive cricket equipment as gifts on their birthdays. " Another person said that many people are just lucky in the horoscope, and if luck says they shouldn't travel, few people will cancel their flights. Few people who are keen on constellations can point out that their constellations are in the sky.
10 year 10 On October 28th, there was an article in The New Yorker that astrology became popular again in uncertain times. Cosmo magazine's constellation content has increased to 9 pages per issue, 74% of readers expressed interest in astrology, and 72% of readers check their horoscopes every day. A survey of 20 17 shows that nearly 30% of Americans believe in astrology. Nicholas Kangping, the author of the book, believes that more people care about their horoscopes. Last year, modern western astrology and popular belief published an article entitled "How Astrology Occupy the Internet". The New York Times claimed that astrology is a meme with a particularly long life cycle. Having an Ins account "Not All Geminis" unexpectedly became popular, and now it has 520,000 fans. One of the photos reads: "When a Gemini or Pisces says he will be on time, I don't know if he is too optimistic or a liar."
Astrologers often use stars as examples. Maria Kelly is an Aries and likes to receive gifts. Pisces has Rihanna and Jobs. Stars are modern mythical figures. Astrologers are very busy, writing books, engaging in activities, showing personal life charts, opening podcasts, writing columns for the fashion magazine Cosmo, and guessing their constellations in videos according to the answers of the stars to 12 questions. Just like psychoanalysis in the past. People used to talk about themselves, ID and superego at parties. Now people use the sun sign, the moon sign and the rising sign to explain themselves. It's not weirdos or climate change deniers who talk about constellations. They think that using astrology does not conflict with believing in science. This change has promoted the rejuvenation of astrologers. The business community has noticed public interest. Amazon began to send shopping wealth to its members. People often think that the popularity of astrology is due to the decline of religion, economic instability and political panic. In times of crisis, people must find faith. The first newspaper constellation column began in August 1930, after the stock market crash. After the 2008 financial crisis, astrologers will receive calls from Wall Street bankers. "The structure on which people live began to collapse. People don't know what happened, and everything is meaningless. In Obama's time, people liked astrology. In the Trump era, people needed astrology. " The historian Benson Baubrick said in his book Atlantic Monthly that the core idea of astrology is that the pattern of a person's life corresponds to the pattern of celestial bodies when he was born. This concept is as old as the world. Everything has its mark when it came out. Western astrology originated in ancient Mesopotamia, and then spread to Egypt, Greece and the Roman Empire and the Islamic world. Astrology helps people decide when to plant seeds and when to go to war. It is used to predict the fate of individuals and explain their character. Predict whether a person will make a fortune or become an emperor. Theodore roosevelt's life chart hangs in his living room, and both De Gaulle and Mitterrand will consult astrologers. 0 says that most people like constellations now more because of psychology. Psychopsychology influenced by Jung believes that life charts reflect a person's thoughts and use these thoughts to talk about goals, potentials, self-realization and so on. "Reading charts is like psychotherapy. But unlike psychotherapy, psychotherapy takes months or even years to find the root of symptoms, and astrology is expected to find the answer faster. There is a common misunderstanding: astrologers are not fortune tellers. When looking at the chart, she is not predicting the future, but describing the customer himself. The power of description is enormous. When describing a person's personality in astrological language, people are more likely to hear or admit the unpleasant side of a person's personality. Friends come and don't want to leave? That's because she can't control herself. She is a Taurus. If you say someone is narcissistic, he will want to slap you, but if you say he is a Leo, he needs to be noticed. They will say that he is really that kind of person.
Astrologer Qiu Chen Nicholas thinks that constellations are attractive because they give people and things a background. Like religion, there is not only a material world. In order to provide a framework for things, as human beings, we need rhythm, ceremony and timing. 1953, the philosopher Theodore Adorno criticized the astrology column in Destined Sky, saying that astrology attracted "those who no longer feel that they can decide their own destiny" and citizens were prepared to accept the mysterious thinking of the obscure fascist system. At present, there are still some unknown systems around us, and our fate will indeed be affected by the times and environment beyond our control. Some people like the constellation because it is a complex system and a source of fun. When it comes to mathematics, you need to master some rules and remember some terms. Samuel Reynolds began to study astrology in the 1980s, initially to refute it, but now he is a member of the International Astrology Research Association. He said, "Astrology is symbolic and spiritual, and it is a literary language. Its authenticity can neither be confirmed by empirical science nor falsified. " This should be the right way to talk about constellations. -Don't think of it as science.
