On the third day of the third year of the millennium, the opposites were born... But there was also a third

[-] TheKingBombOmbKiller@lemm.ee 29 points 2 months ago

It's also the third millennium of the era. 1-1000 AD was the first, 1001-2000 AD was the second, and we are now in the third.

The prophecy has spoken!

[-] Kingofthezyx@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

But, by that logic, 2003 is the 4th year of the millennium.

[-] TheKingBombOmbKiller@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

By that logic 2000 is the last year of the second millennium, 2001 is the first year of the third millennium, 2002 the second, and 2003 the third.

The era started at year 1, and not year 0. So the new millenniums starts at years that ends with 1.

They were born in 2003 but are 18 years old? What is this magic? Can we all use it? I'd like to be 25 again please.

Also astrology is gateway to prejudice, since a lot of racial stereotypes also involve some aspects that can be read as positive. I knew a "spiritual guy" who got into the far-right that way (plus that a lot of people don't treat Julius Evola's garbage literature nowhere seriously enough - they're literally just prequel to Mein Kampf).

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Yep. Its just another form of tribalism.

In a similar vein as Meyers-Briggs, Harry Potter houses, and every single buzzfeed quiz.

People are dynamic. We are the product of our experiences, not the position of the planets.

The whole idea of astrology is that your date of birth determines who you are as a person. If two people share a birth date, it would make sense that those people are very similar if the assumptions of astrology are true.

These two people share a birth date and not much else. They are extremely different people, because the assumptions are not true.

I believe that the astrologers have come up with an explanation for how people can be different, but born the same day. I remember seeing ads back in the 90s for astrologers who would make super specific horoscopes, if you would send them cash and your exact time of birth and location. You're not the same person as someone who was born 30min earlier 50km away? Of course you're not!

SMH what a load of crap

It's entertaining and fully generalized. "You are stubborn when faced with an issue you are passionate about. You are a natural born leader. You don't take kindly to words of disrespect coming from people you don't know."

Well MOST people have these attributes. They just spin it in a long winded double-speak fashion to sound provocative and interesting. People believe it because they need something to believe in and everyone is on their own Hero's Journey.

Sun, moon, and something-else-I-can't-remember signs.
