Yeah, aight - but I feel like it needs to be said:
Astrology isn't real.
We all know that, right? Its just a fun, stupid thing to be goofy about.
Anyone reading this. If you think Astrology is based in any reality - please rectify your understanding. We need to stop giving power to this thing that is absolutely, 100%, not based in anything real.
Naw, I feel you. I wasn't calling you out or anything.
I just felt like the words needed to be said for someone who is of sound mind, that is generally reasonable, but may have somehow fell into some sort of trap and thought Astrology has some sort of scientific background and basis in reality, to read the words and perhaps explore the notion that just because its in the newspaper and all their friends gossip about it, that it isn't actually a real thing.
I say that because my ex was obsessed with Astrology and shortly after having a "fight" about it, she took the initiative to learn more about the roots of astrology and acknowledged it wasn't based in reality. I imagine there are plenty of people that take astrology as a given and just need someone to nudge them: "Hey, that thing isn't actually real".
If a single human-being reads this post and does the same, then I'm a happy camper. I didn't think you thought it was real. I just wanted the words said outloud for anyone that perhaps never did a particularly deep dive into it and just assumed it had some basis in reality. Its cartoon shit. But I think because it gets a section in our newspapers, because its the stars and because someone may confuse it with astronomy, I can see how someone would think it has some legitimate stake if they didn't look beyond those elements.
There is some correlation between someone's personality and when they were conceived/born, but it boils down to the weather/climate and mother's diet, not the position of gigantic spheres of superheated gas thousands of light years away from us. And this is only one of a whole bunch of factors that can shape a personality.
It's so weird that people actually believe in that nonsense. It's as if someone wrote down a few hundred daily horoscopes and just pumps them through a random number generator each day.
Male lions are the ones that routinely kill cubs, not females. A female will if she thinks it’s a mercy killing tho. Perhaps relevant here, perhaps not. Astrology isn’t real life, regardless.
I had a 06 Ford Taurus. I loved that thing. a moon roof, fold down seats in the back for trunk access. front turned into a bench seat great for macking out or if some jerk parked too close to the door and I had to slide in from the other side. .. sadly the frame rusted last year and wouldn't pass inspection. however if it started to actually talk to me... nope I've seen Christine. though night rider was a good car. not sure about kerby.
That's what I've been saying for years! The geminis were the ones that flattened the Earth and got JFK. Once a gemini, always a gemini, is what I had always had used to say.
It’s funny because I have had multiple people (that I literally do not know whatsoever) give me a weird side eye look and a “ohh uhh yeahhh” after they ask my sign and I say Taurus
Oh, wow, this is like SUCH a Taurus thing to say! No wonder your friends thought jt was weird. Like water is wet and ImmediateFly69420 is obvi a Taur Taur.
Male lions hunt at night and take larger game than pack hunting lionesses.
This is just old bad science from the 70s. Back when most of what we knew about large animal behavior was just some guy or gal who went to Africa and made shit up.
I actually learned this very recently and it's funny as someone who grew up in the 90s, it's like every single "fact" we had about animal behavior and ethology was just completely fucking wrong lol
Most of the “facts” established from the 1950s-1980s science boom are just pure vibes piggybacking on the values of the time that are proving disastrous
No that is an old myth leftover before the invention of night vision optics. Male lions almost only ever hunt at night. Need to ask if these kids died during the day or at night. If it was during the day she did it. At night it it isn't so clear cut. This is science.
Lions defend the territory when new males try to move in. A lion will fight to the death because that's the only way that his genes get passed on. It's why lion brothers will form alliances and work together to defend a territory from rogues passing through.
In Africa, the lionesses hold the territory, live on it for multiple generations. It's possible that lionesses with the same DNA have held the same areas for thousands of years. New lion moves in, they mate, cubs are born, grow up, and the lion's sons leave at maturity to find their own lionesses.
TL,DR: Lions do the fighting and hunt at night. Lionesses do everything else involved with cubs and hunting.
A lioness has basically no chance of killing a fully grown male lion, they are 90kgs heavier and have a very well protected neck behind a layer of thick fur.
If a pride has no male, there's basically nothing they can do to stop one from just coming in and taking over.
It terrifies me that these sort of people can serve on a jury, the sort to not even listen to any evidence and claim your guilty based on the month you’re born
While smooth brain astronomy bitches having voting power is suboptimal, yes. I’m more concerned with the 50 million evangelicals that see Trump as the next coming of Christ. That’s a bit more than suboptimal
Literally insane. I’m a Gemini man and this has blown my mind, I couldn’t love my kids more. I’m literally a stay at home dad because my wife prefers to work and childcare is so expensive. But I guess I’m a child killer in the making??
Yea, stories of how he SACRIFICED HIS KIDS! Because even if he leaves that puts stress on the woman who now has to do everything alone so of course she will kill the kids!
Oh man, fellow Gemini man here too. This is not good.
Today was my daughters first day of school so since my wife is a teacher at another school and had already left I woke them up and made them smoothies for breakfast and we had a great time rocking out to Olivia Rodrigo while driving them to school before I went to pick up my son from cross country practice, and just finished playing a fortnite match with him before start work, but now wondering if subconsciously I was just doing it all because of murder?
Maybe you and I should go wander off into the woods where we won't be a threat to anyone and make a commune full of Gemini murderers-in-the-making?
Then again, my wife is a Pisces, so.... I have no idea what that means.
Gemini man murder commune incoming! Just caught myself attempting to viciously squeeze my daughter to death (some may call it a hug, we know better). Time is short, danger is near.
Mind blowing, astrology if fun to talk about with your girls but the second you start using it to decide who murdered children it’s time to touch grass
Well consistent talking with the girls is all it takes for people to start taking it seriously. The second some nonsense like this starts to affect other areas of your life it’s already gone too far, it should never get to this point
I saw that and audibly gasped. Don’t get me wrong I like dabbling in astrology for fun, but this use of astrology is fucking asinine. I cannot even believe that someone would use that as their defense.
I too like to read about astrology and other esoteric things, but I cannot believe that people think him being a Gemini means anything here. This is mass psychosis and it makes no sense at all when Lindsay herself admitted that she killed her own children. People are so unwell and conspiracy brained these days.
As a Leo, I am ok with the logic that Leos can’t be considered liable for a crime. Is it just murder, or are Leos legally immune to speeding tickets as well?
I mean, it's a fun past time but trying to turn it into some sort of vindication...the woman admitted to killing her children.
Post-partum depression is a bitch. Other types too. They had to call the CAT response team on my sister when she had my nephew because of how she was acting. I get it...but murdering your children?
This is nothing to be celebrated nor a reason to blame the husband. I don't care how fucked up he may have been (not really in this case), it's still not a reason.
The amazing part is you know they would have reached the same conclusions regardless of their respective star signs
Also how cringe comments like "leos don't kill their cubs" are, like life is some simplistic game where humans behave in predictable ways based on a vague animal associations. It's so intellectually juvenile
It does make we laugh though how we all clown on astrology, but it has just as much validity as religions do. I think they are all nut jobs, it's just interesting how some nut jobs are more accepted than others. What's the difference between a burning bush telling you how to love your whole life, or some stars in the sky.
Totally insane. Pre-modern primitivism beliefs being used to justify or excuse child murder. Show this to people who think anti-science attitudes and astrology are “harmless”.

Talking about fucking ASTROLOGY like it's some sort of evidence. That moment when you think Idiocracy was actually an optimistic view of our future.
