    Also astrology is gateway to prejudice, since a lot of racial stereotypes also involve some aspects that can be read as positive. I knew a “spiritual guy” who got into the far-right that way (plus that a lot of people don’t treat Julius Evola’s garbage literature nowhere seriously enough - they’re literally just prequel to Mein Kampf).

      Yep. Its just another form of tribalism.

      In a similar vein as Meyers-Briggs, Harry Potter houses, and every single buzzfeed quiz.

      People are dynamic. We are the product of our experiences, not the position of the planets.
