The Biggest Misunderstanding

When people are talking about Astrology, the most prevalent misconception is that Astrology is a legitimated science. The fact that it has objective, measurable elements does not constitute validity. People are unaware that Astrology has mystic roots, and relies entirely on relative interpretations of the "solid" information it "calculates".

While there is definitely evidence of some accuracy in the natal chart division of Astrology, it cannot be proven past chance and persuasive language! There are multiple variables as to why someone could find a birth chart more accurate than it really is: 1) the chart is very generally applicable, 2) coincidence, or 3) they are egotistical and generally accept a wide array of traits (especially positive ones, the most prevalent in Astrology).

The people in question take the accurate findings too seriously, and assume that there is something beyond psychological trickery at hand here. I'm not attempting to dismiss the art of Astrologers--they've certainly gotten something right, and I'm still intrigued by Astrology.

That is a far leap from saying Astrology is FACTUAL.

It is an entertainment, and an insight. The biggest misunderstanding is applying Astrology as if it was real!

There's not much to do to stop people from falling into this trap: People believe what they want to, even in the face of common sense. However, belief in Astrology is not necessarily harmful. So as long as people have a healthy understanding of the applications and purposes of Astrology, no one should be the lesser!
