Unpopular opinion and I donāt mean to sound like. Unwoke but tbh I think a lot of ppl make way too big a deal of stuff like zodiacs.
Like, is is pseudoscience? Yes, like a lot of other āprovenā personality tests. Is some stuff in the New Age circle perpetuating very harmful and dangerous ideas? ABSOLUTELY and we shouldnāt stop calling that out.
But my issue comes in when people start raging when someone says theyāre a Leo or smth and I think yāall need to realize that the zodiac worshipping stereotype isnāt true for a lot of people in real life and they quite literally just treat it like a personality test. Do some of them gain harmful ways of thinking from things like horoscopes and star charts and such? Yes!
But I think the way to talk to friends and family (and even strangers if theyāre okay with you talking on an emotional level) that gain harmful ideas like this is to gently but firmly be like āHey, Iām glad you have something you enjoy but I think right now youāre getting the idea that you and others have stagnant personality types and you should maybe think on where thatās coming fromā and theyāll be WAY more likely to listen to you than if youāre like āERM you know thatās FAKE rightā
Iām not even really saying anything except you canāt just start talking to people like an asshole because. Theyāre gonna assume youāre an asshole LOL. This isnāt even unique to the debate on zodiacs tbh
