One research attempt showed 45% of people believed it enough to use it in their relationships. Which is just a little more than the percent of people who believe in creationism.

Is this cause for concern?
Yeah, I think so.

This of course leads to an obvious question... is it the same people?

Don't think anyone knows. Probably just a coincidence...

This is simple enough. We all know biology and chemistry and geology are fields of scientific endeavor. But what about Astrology? Do you consider that Astrology is a science?

As a person who can draw up birth charts, knows the Zodiac, the meanings of planets and the positions they take, and knew what the Retrograde was before Instagram and TikTok, no, it’s not a science. It’s a pseudoscience, at best.
