Why Is It Really Useful to Know Your Astrological Sign
I don’t believe in astrology, but I know my sign. (I am a Sagittarius in the traditional system, Ophiuchus for ardent astronomers .) It may be useful for you to know yours too! Not the way Dr. Oz thinks .
On Dr. Oz’s website, astrologer Rebecca Gordon explains that Sagittarius is prone to hip problems, Aries is prone to migraines, and Cancer is not what you think, but simply “water retention, cysts and low energy.”
Let’s go back to some real science and consider what knowledge of your astrological sign can actually do for you. For instance:
- You can enjoy reading horoscopes, which are second-person fiction.
- You can generalize information about other people (“oh, this is what a Leo should do”) to add depth to the same complaints or compliments that you would anyway.
- You can buy key chains and more with your astrological sign (only recommended if you have a cool astrological sign).
- You can read this and get your favorite astronomical object right away if this question is asked of you at parties.
But to be clear, your astrological sign does not tell you what diseases you are susceptible to , whether you are looking for love in the wrong ways, or what kind of person you are about to become. I hope you become a person who doesn’t believe in bullshit.
