Using Astro-logic to Debunk Astrology

Even though the word “logical” is definitely part of the word astro-logical, astrology just isn’t logical. And why is it that everyone identifies with the descriptions of personalities that are associated with each astrological sign?  It’s all hogwash, but still there is something uncanny about how we each seem to fit into one of the signs. 

Back in the Sixties, a friend of mine named Linda Goodman was one of the most popular astrologers of our time.  She wrote a book named ”Love Signs” which focused on how people of one sign related to someone of another sign. This was mostly about the compatibility of different types of astrological personalities.   

For example, as a Gemini, my potential relationship with a Scorpio would be exquisitely passionate but ultimately we would destroy each other emotionally. Nevertheless, I was always willing to take a joy ride with a Scorpio only until I started seeing flames shooting out of her eyes. 

I enjoyed knowing Linda Goodman. She was famous and she loved it. But here’s what you should know about Linda.  She was a little nuts.  For example, one night she confided to me that Saint Frances of Assisi would be reincarnated and she would introduce him to me.  And then she whispered in my ear:  “So you’ll know it’s really him, I’ll introduce him as Sweet Pea,” she explained.  I wish there was some miraculous incident I could report, but I never did meet anyone named Sweet Pea. 

Soon, thereafter, Linda started associating with a religious cult called Children of God.  She invited me to join them, but they turned my stomach and so I dissociated myself from her.  Maybe she was a Scorpio, but I forget. 

I have a theory about these astrological personalities.  I think we are conditioned during the course of our lives to rationalize and align the descriptions of these astrological signs with who we believe ourselves to be. 

For example, let’s say you were brought up to believe you were a Leo, but you were really a Capricorn.  Would you identify with the personality description of Leo or Capricorn? 

Here’s a simple test which may provide a clue to the answer.  Listed below are the real descriptions of the 12 astrological signs, except the descriptions have been mixed up and simply numbered instead of named. After reading the descriptions, can you find your astrological sign by number, only?
