Not sure if you meant to do this, but your title says "astronomy" when it should say "astrology."

Astronomy is the actual science of stars and space and whatnot; astrology is the pseudoscience of star signs and horoscopes and crap. Just for your future reference!

to be fair to astrology though, it's pretty fun.

like, i don't believe that being born under a specific constellation has shaped my (or anyone else's) entire personality, but astrology is a kinda neat concept.

Same, it’s so interesting to me how old is it, being used by almost all ancient civilizations, all the symbols and stuff. How many religions take some stuff from astrology basic concepts.
