I do not care for it at all. Why would some constellation decide my fate if it's just made up in the first place? Though, I would be lying if I say that I don't look at those astrological signs that you see at the end of the newspaper.
 
I believe in it but think that everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt. I'm a Scorpio and that's about all I know regarding my star sign, but I've always thought my personality matched the Scorpio traits for the most part.

I learned tarot reading when I was 12 from my grandmother. It's something that's been passed down through my family on my mom's side for generations. I have 3 different tarot decks, a traditional Rider-Waite deck, a Greek mythology deck, and an Arthurian legend deck. I can also read from a regular deck of playing cards. I was taught that tarot readings are not perfect, though, for numerous reasons. They are subjective, open to interpretation, and they tell you what is likely happen if you continue down your current path. But we all have free will, so we can change our path at any time.

My favorite story about my tarot cards involves how my husband and I got together. We had not been dating long when he had an opportunity to move out of state. He asked my opinion and basically told me the only reason he would stay was for me, if we were going to be serious. I already knew I liked him, but I wasn't sure about him turning down a major opportunity to stay with me. I thought that one day down the road he might resent me for it. So I read my cards to see if I could find any advice. I read them 3 times and while some of the minor details changed, the same message kept appearing. They said that he would take a journey but there would be difficulties and he would return. After his return, the cards showed us together. So, without telling him anything about the cards, I let him go. We still talked almost daily. Then, only a few months later, he had an emergency come up and was forced to move back here. Needless to say, we became a serious couple after that and eventually got married.

After we had been together a little while, I told my husband about my readings. Even though he doesn't believe in that kind of stuff, he had to admit it seemed a bit too much to be a coincidence.
 
I don't particularly care whether either of them have any merit to them. My initial inclination is that neither is worth putting much stock into. That said, I'm not wholly against the possibility that some things we don't think are possible can actually have some grounding in reality whether we recognize it or not. It's like religion or ghosts for me, maybe God or spirits exist, but it doesn't matter all that much to me because I'll likely never have proof of either in life and I'm uninterested in basing my life around an afterlife that might or might not exist.

Of the two, I find tarot more interesting. Never had my cards read, but I'd like to try it sometime just to see how it goes. I'd also like to visit supposedly haunted places. I want to experience these sorts of things to sate my curiosity, but even so, whether they're legitimate or illegitimate doesn't concern me since I've got more important things to worry about.

As far as astrology goes, I've heard of all this star chart stuff but I don't know how people go about determining all that without throwing your information into some random website or paying someone, and I don't find either option enticing. All I know is that I'm a Sagittarius and that some of the descriptions fit.


Or, to put things more succinctly:

In general when it comes to anything in the "stuff happening that hasn't yet been observed in an objective way" thing, whether it's religion or spirituality or other things like that, I guess my stance is that I think it's very interesting, but that I don't really know if it's my place to believe or disbelieve things that I can't witness. So I feel the same way about astrology and tarot and things like that- I'll read my horoscope sometimes, have a book on astrology, own a tarot deck that I use once in a while, but I don't really bet my life on any information I get from horoscopes or tarot readings.

I don't have a tarot deck or an astrology book, but the rest of that more or less fits for me.
 
I would like to learn more about both but since I don't know much about them I can't for sure whether I believe in them or not. I did vote "yes" because I'm open minded about them though. I know I'm a Libra but that's it. I don't know if I'm like my sign or not and I definitely don't know anything about the other areas.

You can go here if you want to get your birth chart hehe!
 
I kinda believe in it, but I am too scared to ever use them, after long time ago me and
my at this time best friend used some and we had the death card and shortly after
the young and healthy dog of my friend died for no reason and her cat got hit by a car.. :(

The death card isn't what most people think.

It isn't literal.

It usually means a change.
Death of an old way of life, for example, and the start of something new.
 
not at all but it does seem interesting and definitely wouldn't judge someone who does, i think people become too caught up in it though and it ends up dictating their personality to an extent

that's like my mom, she's super into that and she's like "oh yeah that person is absolutely a gemini" or whatever d:

I don't know the exact time of my birth so I'm not sure how accurate the chart was. Plus... it confused the holy heck out of me. lol!
 
I don't know much about it at all except that I'm a Pisces and the description is pretty accurate.

I think Tarot would be interesting to learn more for the history of it all came about but I don't beleive in the readings & astrology predictions
 
Of course I don’t believe in it. It’s purely a fun thing that allows you to see the similarities of the category you fall into. It’s no different than eating a fortune cookie.
 
It's one of my interests indeed. c: Not so much tarot (although I have gotten a reading done with the cards w/e) before.

I'm a double Virgo, so my rising and sun are both that. Then a Capricorn moon lol. I do have a Libra mercury so I like to talktalktalk.
 
I take it with a grain of salt but I think they're pretty fun sometimes :)

I'm a scorpio with my rising sign in gemini and moon in sagittarius !!
 
No, I don't.

Honestly, because I haven't celebrated Halloween in seven years, I do have a tradition that I've had for the last two years now where I look up my horoscopes in October, but I just do it for fun and don't actually believe what they say. I see horoscopes and astrology in general in the same way I see what the fortunes of the fortune cookies are at the Chinese restaurant.
 
I don't really believe in astrology or tarot, and I don't really know very much about them either. But tbh sometimes I feel like I wanna know more about it. When people end up listing their sun sign, moon sign, rising sign and all their other signs, I'm like... how do you know all of that? All I know is that I'm a Pisces, lol. It kinda makes me curious about all my other signs, but I've never known how to find any of that out.
 
Considering Astrology was created in a time that people thought the earth was literally the center of the universe, no,
I dont believe in pseudo science.
 
I don't believe in it, but my boyfriend does. It's actually cute, his understanding about life and everything around us. Not gonna dislike or argue against him about it, we complement each other so well, I think the opposite attraction is a thing here.
 
i honestly don’t know much about it at all - i tried researching what i was a while back and i’ve since forgotten lmao. the only piece of info my brain can retain is that i’m a pisces :p

while i don’t think i believe in it 100%, i do find it fascinating and would love to learn more
 
I'm a Leo with a Pices Moon, Leo Sun, Aquarius Ascendant, and Sagittarius Midheaven.
Not much else to say...
