“People believe in magic when they feel powerless.”
I don’t know where this quote came from. But it applies in so many instances. Women, traditionally, have been treated as 2nd class citizens for centuries.
I don’t know man but whenever they start to ask me about it I’m certainly not going to to complain
Why do so many people believe in God?
Honestly it’s because it’s marketed towards women more.
Astrology came back in a big way in the 1960s and women’s magazines decided they could oversimplify it in horoscope columns to be trendy. Ever since, it’s just been associated with women.
I’m Pisces and non of us believe in astrology
A lot of girls don’t actually *believe* in astrology per say, but we find it fun as a concept. Like I don’t believe that the month someone was born in defines their personality, but I still like reading horoscopes cause it’s fun.
Lots of answers here, and I don’t think any of them hit the mark. It’s because astrology is a form of spirituality that isn’t rooted in patriarchy. Pick a religion, and there’s probably a dude at the top. But with astrology (and the astrology adjacent like wicca), there’s no such link, and so women feel more empowered there.
Astrology has a history of female empowerment and men tended to stay away from it so it’s remained a safe space for women
Targeted marketing 🤷🏽♂️
Hey sometimes I also like to know when the moon is in the microwave.
Astrology has always seemed to be the thing people choose to gravitate towards when they want meaning behind things, but not the commitment most spiritual things bring. It’s not a religion, but tries to explain the world with meaning. It’s not serious enough to pass pseudoscience, but it’s fun enough to delve into if you’d like. It seems mysterious, but it’s something everyone knows of.
Just kinda a free spirit thing to choose. It makes most people go “oh yeah, I wonder what my sign is and what that means”, just out of curiosity. Much like “seeing auras”, or taking those silly internet quizzes. Most people know it’s all fluff, but the allure is “what if?”, it’s fun. This fun goes against the grain when everyone else has super serious things they must abide by, and they make life choices based on what they belief is moral or immoral. Astrology comes with none of that.
I think it’s just accepted as a fun thing not some thing people believe. I do hate the meme that “men believe in economics and women believe in astrology”. Astrology is pseudoscience…not like M*A*S*H or cooties vaccines
I admit as a guy I got interested in astrology as a kid, I imagined astrological signs as countries that fought one another had their own histories, societies, culture and wars. For example the state of Pisces went through multiple states and kingdoms until it’s last king Razak II was killed along with the entire family until a democracy was established, it was overthrown in 1884 by a military coup by General Pinicus Aderist Peal.
Man, I can’t answer your question, but I feel the need to vent.
I just encountered BY FAR the most astrology-pilled person I’ve ever fucking met, and she’s the coordinator for a research department I’m part of, and I am just dreading having to interact with her this summer.
We ran into each other at a bar, I introduced her to my partner and a friend. And then she started aggressively asking us our astrology shit, getting very into the personal space of my friend who was clearly being made uncomfortable about it – like literally pulling away and taking steps back, and somehow she just was not noticing. I was loudly laughing at every single thing she said about astrology, which she had to be noticing, but I guess was taking as encouragement?
After straight up, fifteen or twenty minutes of her talking at us regarding astrology, she just flat out starts asking about our sex life as it relates to astrology, and I was just like “Hold up, this isn’t appropriate” and I can’t remember how she tried to dismiss it but I was all “We’re colleagues, I don’t talk to colleagues about my sex life, period.” And she just DID NOT GET IT.
Men also fall into believing this when they need to find some external power to project life’s misery onto.
The difference is that men often find their way to more traditional patriarchal religions instead. It’s a lot easier to believe your life is part of god’s plan when that plan apparently includes putting you at the top of the pecking order. It’s a lot harder to do that when god’s plan involves you being eternally subservient to the idiot you married.
The same reason tech nerds think the meyer briggs personality test is real and not a load of made up nonsense.
To some people it feels nice to blame your weaknesses(and in some cases, your strengths) on something entirely out of your control.
Men who are into astrology are ridiculed until they stop much more often than women.
It’s whimsical and magical and who doesn’t like a bit of that right?
Men have their own pet pseudosciences. Like free market economics and cryptocurrency.
Idk. I’m a woman and don’t really believe in it, but I think it’s somewhat fun. Just cause I like constellations and space and shit. I like to find out some of the signs that people are, like I’m a Libra and my boyfriend’s a Cancer, but I don’t use that for anything.
its not about fully believing every single thing about astrology, its just a fun little thing to be apart of and know about
I think most people just do it for fun and don’t take it seriously.
It’s just a fun little hobby to enjoy. It’s not that deep for most folks.
It probably has something to do with humans’ innate need for religion and spirituality and It’s one of the only “religions” that doesn’t oppress women as a cornerstone of the belief system.
Men already have sports superstitions
It’s a system of belief that doesn’t assign women as birthing pods and homemakers
i don’t think a majority of women *genuinely* believe in it— a majority. however, because it’s been consistently a safe space for women, and becaude bringing it up tends to weed out the people who are intolerant or critical, it remains popular.
i personally don’t believe in it, but it’s fun to bring up in conversations and if people react negatively to it then i tend to stay away because it’s mostly just harmless fun.
Because when men get into pseudoscience and conspiracy theories, they become Nazis instead.
I have heard some take it way too seriously and judge and generalize people to terrible degrees. And I’ve heard people treat them like Harry Potter houses (we as people have always loved those kind of faction-based identifiers in fiction). If you do the latter, have at it. If you do the former, no bueno in my book.
I think it’s this way in the west due to Abraham’s religions. Women are put down on by these religions so they found solace in something else. So astrology, witchcraft became the counter.
In other parts of the world, say india this isn’t the case. Astrology is deeply intertwined with religion here so men and women believe in it.
I think it gets promoted a lot in magazines and their e-versions and in celebrity culture and some fashion. So I think it may be some early exposure and then just like other beliefs the pattern-seeking-mind kicks in and you start seeing ways that it could be true and you ignore the misses.
Astrology is one of very few belief systems that DOESNT discriminate against women. Thats why.
