Hello everyone! Today we are discussing “How can astrology affect our lives?” First, let’s begin by talking about what astrology is. It is the belief that the positions of the stars and planets can influence people’s lives and personalities. Astrology has been part of our lives since the 2nd millennium BC; however, it has not been considered a science. It is called pseudoscience because it doesn’t follow the rules of science. Astrology can be tested many times, but unlike science, the results are not always the same, and there is no solid proof behind it. Because of this, it is not accepted as a science.

Some people believe in astrology with all their heart. I think this is related to their psychology because everyone wants to know something about their future. There are many reasons for this, and one of them is the desire to be prepared for difficulties. For example, imagine you have a dog, and your astrologer tells you that your dog will get sick. Because of this, you prepare yourself for the situation. In the end, your dog doesn’t get sick, but you are mentally prepared for it.

Another reason astrology affects our lives is confirmation bias. This means people look for things that support what they already believe. For example, if your horoscope says you will argue with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you might start looking for reasons to argue, even if there isn’t a real problem. Now, let’s think about the opposite situation. If your horoscope says your car will break down, but you don’t even have a car, it won’t affect you at all. There’s nothing to break down, so it doesn’t impact your life.

The last reason is the desire to control life. People who believe in astrology think they can learn about their future. When something bad happens, they may believe they already know the reason behind it. For example, if your horoscope says you will have an accident while traveling abroad, you might decide not to go. This way, you feel like you are preventing the accident.

Long story short, astrology may affect people as much as they believe, and it is about their life conditions. Nothing more, nothing less.
