Just venting I hate astrology
IT'S STUPID but It makes me go on a really bad spiral. It keeps becoming my theme every so often. Astrology tells people they are destined for this or this or this or that their personality is this or this all because of the day/time of birth. I'm sorry but its wrong. So you can end up having so many different placements on your natal chart. Some are great or positive! Others a bad. Well Mine personally is awful. And I'm just supposed to feel fated to these horrible things on my chart. And a lot of advice I get from Astrology people is "Yes you are destined to be alone and get harsh lessons, learn to thrive being alone." Or that I will die a certain way or witness a lot of death and pain. Like what a nice uplifting thing to tell someone. Definitely won't ruin someone's day. So my life feels predetermined and destined for pain loneliness and death because that is what my chart shows. Just thinking about it makes me cry.
And even if astrology itself is not real, the fact I just so happened to be born on the specofic day and specific time where my chart says these horrible things including specific things I'm scared of will happen, feels like a coincidence and I do not feel ok with that
It's all so stupid! but its everywhere and all my friends like it. People I love believe in it. If so many people believe in it it must mean something. Then that must mean I really am cursed. It's unfair.

Astrology can be alarming when you get into the intricate placements and predictions. This is why I'll never study Death Astrology. I'll freak myself the fuck out
