Mesmerizing, yet controversial

Knowing the fact that "We are most imaginative in the night and the least creative in the day"; Yet, I started writing in the daytime, taking it as a challenge as it's just a fact based on observations and experiments, not a law. So let's see where it takes us.

Today, I will talk about one of the most popular, controversial and mesmerizing topics that already has been discussed by hundreds, even thousands, of experienced writers. 

"Accuracy of zodiac signs about our personality".

Yeah yeah, I know after all that compliments, you were expecting something much better and interesting. But trust me, it isn't that boring either. 

The thing is that most of us have already invested a lot of time researching on this topic that now if someone else discusses it, we feel like it's the same old boring thing ( of which we already are experts), and lose interest. 

But we should keep in mind that if this topic is still in discussion, it means that it still has room for new contributions and that everyone has their own way of explaining things, so even if there is nothing new about the topic, still you can learn a lot of new things just from the different explanations of that same topic.

Why I chose this topic?

Well, this topic was in my mind since my first post here, but as I wasn't ready for it; I didn't post it, but now, I think I should let it flow as it's been bugging me a lot, plus I want to make room for the new ideas as well. So let's start.

I am pretty sure that most of you already know;

  1. what are zodiac signs

  2. what is your zodiac sign 

  3. What it says about your personality

If your answer is yes, then most of you would also admit that these signs have high accuracy in predicting our personality traits for most of us.


But the question arises that

  1. How is it that accurate?

Ans: Well, honestly, it isn't. It can be true for most of us, but for others, it isn't. As beliefs about astrology have been around for thousands of years, different people( belonging to different professions ) have researched for its authenticity in this long period of time. And as they were from different backgrounds, their research also covered distinct aspects. Later by summing up all their research, Astrology, as a whole, was formed. 

So, whether we accept astrology as truth or not, we must admit that their research was at least truth-based because it was the result of various experiments and observations. And that explains the fact why these astrology signs are mostly accurate about our personality, and sometimes they aren't( because observations and experiments can never be 100% accurate).


After this whole discussion, another question arises.

Q: Should you believe in astrology or not?

Ans: Well, there can be two answers to that. 

If you ask what science has to say about it, well, it's simple. 

Science doesn't accept Astrology as a science.

And if you ask me, 

I would say that You should, and you shouldn't. Pretty confusing? Let me explain

It is a fact that science is considered a standard to check the authenticity of something. But it is also true that, even in the 21st century, science has no satisfactory explanations for many natural phenomena.

 It means that science isn't complete, never was, never will be. That's why we can't declare something as a myth just because science has no evidence for it, because there are chances that science may get evidence for that in the future when there is enough modern technology. That's the reason why I said: "You should".


Coming to the "You shouldn't" part:

Even though astrology can help understand your personality, you shouldn't rely on it. 

There is a saying that Be moderate and avoid extremes

It means that you shouldn't go to extremes on either side( either good, either bad). 

For example, in this case, Declaring Astrology as a myth is wrong, but completely depending on it is also wrong.

Conclusion: 

Having blind faith in something is wrong, but rejecting something is also a mistake because both are on extreme levels. So it's better to stick with the middle way unless you are sure about something.

Astrology can affect our lives, but it isn't the only factor affecting it.
