    Astrology people used to bug the shit out of me, but now I find it a pleasant way to learn about someone. It’s kind of like a gateway to just talk about your personalities for a bit.

    I don’t believe any of it, but I’ll share my sign and (usually) she will make some calls about my likes and dislikes and I’ll say what’s true or not. Ask her sign and questions about her. See if we’ll get along or not.

    Idk it’s a nice way to just chat, I guess. Prefer it to other small talk. Could make a friend from it, too.

      Eh, I’ll give my sign, but then people keep asking more intrusive questions like the exact hour I was born so they can tell me my rising and setting sign or whatever. It just kind of seems obnoxious to do when you know the person you’re talking to doesn’t believe in this.

      To me it’s the same as someone who keeps brining religion into a conversation when the know the person they’re talking to is a non-believer. You know I don’t believe in this, you could respect that fact and leave the topic be.

      yeah but you could also just have a regular conversation and get to know someone that way instead, without the magical thinking predestination nonsense
