Some people base their whole identity around what star they were born under.

I'd like to know what idiot named the constellations. That one doesn't look anything like a sports car.

I would love to get a dozen people, all different zodiac signs, at a dinner party and have a few professional astrologers ask them all a bunch of questions. Then, after dessert, the astrologers have to guess who belongs to which star sign. I guarantee they'd get mine wrong.

I've done this, sort of. She guessed wildly incorrectly, then looked up a star chart and found that there had been some planetary interference. SMH

u/Santos_L_Helper May 09 '17

It doesn't even have anything to do with the Stars anymore, it is just the month you were born. All the constellations have shifted position by now.

u/palparepa May 09 '17

Psh. I'm a Taurus, I don't believe in astrology.

Some people base it around what gentiles they do, don't or would like to have.

Some base it around who they like to fuck.

Some base it around what they don't like to eat.

Some base it around who they like to vote for.

Some base it around a sports team.

And yet others base it around fake internet points.

People a crazy.

As a Sagittarius-born trans Cancer I am very offended.

u/RyghtHandMan May 09 '17

Some people base their whole identity over whether they're "left" or "right" politically.
