My perspective on the signs of the Zodiac

I think I learned about the Zodiac signs from literature. I browsed books older than me in my father's collection when I was a young adolescent. I did this behind his back, and I recall that when he discovered me in possession of William Pavitt's "The Book of Talismans, Amulets, and Zodiac Gems," he didn't hold back with the rod.

(Take note that the book's initial release was in 1914.)

The internet paved way to learn more

However, when I got older and the internet became more widely available, I developed an interest in Zodiac signs and read more about them online.

There are a ton of websites that deal with the Zodiac and horoscope, however, the majority of these websites merely utter rubbish and provide copy and paste services.

I observe some individuals making fun of others who are fascinated by the Zodiac, but I don't. One thing is certain: one's destiny is not predetermined by one's zodiac sign or horoscope. Your future is decided by your deeds.

But I do think that a group of people's collective likely behaviour is determined by their Zodiac sign. Many people who read some zodiac reports claim that they are not themselves and that the claims are bogus. Even identical twins born on the same day do not behave or have the same preferences.

My opinion on Zodiac

I think the Zodiac groups people by the time they were born and then describes their most likely behaviour, preferences, and traits.

Saying that men are stronger than women, for instance, is not incorrect. The fact that men are normally or generally speaking stronger does not imply that there aren't some powerful women.

Astrology is the foundation for the use of the Zodiac to predict behaviour. Aeons before the birth of Christ, astrology was a widely used practice on earth. Ancient ideas have been refined to create the modern zodiac and astrology.

In my opinion, those who are born around a particular time of the year do have some common traits or behaviours. Sometimes you notice that persons who share the same zodiac sign have similar likes and dislikes.

Using my Zodiac sign as an example

For instance, a lot of authors and poets are thought to be born under the sign of cancer. Taking a poll is the only way to verify this, and according to Edubirdie.com. The best zodiac sign for being an author is said to be Cancer.

Cancer - Share of authors: 16.67%

The most common star sign for authors is Cancer with a 16.67% share of writers in the study. These include big names such as George Orwell, Ernst Hemingway and Hilary Mantel.

Is the aforementioned news accurate? I am unable to say, however, I have met a lot of poets and writers that share my interests and were born under the Cancer zodiac sign. However, that does not imply that all Cancers are interested in poetry or writing.

How much does Zodiac determine

Actually, the final item to take into account when analyzing a person's behaviour is their zodiac sign. The people in your immediate environment, together with how you were raised as a child and the media you read, greatly influence your behaviour.

One reason I enjoy reading and writing, for instance, might be linked to the house I grew up in. I grew up in a house full of books, and this has influenced me.

Because behaviours can be learned and taught, like abilities, I don't support anyone using their Zodiac sign as a justification for their actions.

However, some certain likes and dislikes go unexplained in which people may not be able to articulate why they love or detest doing something, and this may be the influence of the zodiac.

Any constructive critique is always appreciated.

I think the concept of the zodiac is pretty fascinating as there was a time when I got immersed in learning about it after discovering it at the back of an old dictionary. I don't just believe that they have influence on our decisions or behaviors the way some people believe. Like, how can an arrangement of a constellation affect how you behave? doesn't sound logical to me🤔. Some people even use it as an excuse for their bad behaviour. Zodiac says Gemini are generally extroverted and outgoing. I am Gemini and I am a cupboard introvert. Btw it's been a while. How have you been Tomi?

I don't believe in the use of Zodiac as an excuse for bad behavior, because good characters and behaviours are something we all can learn.

How have you been Tomi?

I'm fine and you?

Five six years ago, reading the weekly zodiac signs was my daily routine. When I slowly stopped looking at the zodiac forecasts, I don't remember.

I'm cancer and I most of the things it says about me are true but still it wouldn't be wise for one to follow them hook, line and sinker
