I want to be careful here: I’m not promoting pseudoscience and not trying to start arguments.
Over the last few months I’ve created my own little hobby of trying to learn astrology and astronomy at the same time. I don’t believe in astrology - but I’m open to see if my theories are wrong.
A major issue I’ve found is that astrologers don’t like questions they don’t feel support astrology as they know it. They don’t like debate. They don’t like to be challenged. If you don’t ask a question in a way they like, you’ll passive aggressive scolding along with a lesson on some pseudo science, then told to read some 500 page book. It’s so frustrating because I do
I don’t want to create beef between subs. But I do think it behooves astronomy to talk about astrology from a science based approach. Their refusal to have conversations about it, and their growing numbers, should encourage the astronomy world to have the talks they won’t. I have sooooooo many holes in astrology and want to see if there are answers.
Anyway, thoughts?
Gaia BH1 is the closest black hole to earth and was discovered in 2022. It can be found in Ophiucus (or they’d probably say it’s in Sagittarius, Capricorn, or Scorpio since they don’t acknowledge the 13th zodiac).
I’m so curious what would happen if they learned about it. I can see some of them claiming it’s the rules over tech.
And THIS why I’m curious. It’s like watching kids play MAGIC and knowing there are other characters you could throw in their deck which could potentially blow their minds.
I don’t know how to explain it, but watching and trying to understand astrology is like watching a group of adults invent something using the objects around them, then claiming their invention has all the answers to life- and that is fascinating to me.
