Are astrology followers naive? Not necessarily

Are you surprised if I told you that more Americans know their astronomical signs than their blood type? This is what a diagnostic poll found in 2023. According to their results, 66 percent of Americans knew the sign of their tower, while only 58 percent knew their blood type (which decreased to 47 percent of the millennial generation and 32 percent of those in Gen Z). Edwards and others. (2025) This unfortunate statistics were martyred in their modern research that claimed People with greater teaching and intelligence have been greater faith in astrology. Moreover, they found that women and colored people were more likely in this camp. But there were restrictions on that study, so let us explore it and shed some light on the reason for preserving astrology its popularity despite its lack of its scientific validity.

Wiping

To understand the restrictions of Edwards and others (2025) that decrease intelligence And less education Expect that the greatest belief in astrology requires an understanding of how to conduct research. He asked a survey that included 8,553 adults, “Do you think astrology is scientific?” The answers were available Not at all scientific, a type of scientific, and Very scientific. 63.5 percent answered the scientific launch, 29.8 percent chose a kind of scientific, and 6.7 percent chose very scientific.

As it may guess, the majority of 63.5 % of the respondents who mentioned that astrology are not at all scientific have levels of higher education and dozens of intelligence, while people with fewer education and lower intelligence (who happened to represent more women and people colored in the regiment) gave more scientific merit to astrology.

The researchers admitted that the formulation of surveying does not measure faith in astrology and also mentioned that people may not know what astrology and/or may have confused it with astronomy.

It may be one of the largest restrictions in this study, and public astronomical research that has been conducted so far, that there is no understanding of the complexity of the systems that are studied. It is closer to the alchemist imaginaryOr the desire for a simple or unique solution to address complex psychological phenomena. So, people ask whether people believe that astrology is scientific or not the psychological complexity of the attractiveness of astrology – and the complexity of astrology itself.

The problem is not with the scientific investigation itself; Science, investigation, legend, and contact in strong ways can be achieved. The challenge is that not all research methods are designed to capture the deeper psychological or cultural forces in playing. In this case, a simple survey of the wealth of the cause of astrology may be absent for many people.

The deepest meanings of astrology

Humans are meaningful creatures and search for patterns. For centuries, humans looked at the stars and found the towers that appeared in different seasons. Humans wandered around the stars, homes and societies designed around the stars. (Even Washington, DC, has been designed to imitate the Virgin Conscience) wise Men who followed a North star to the site where a child was born in a orbit in Bethlehem.

From a psychological perspective, the constellations provide a mirror of legend, models, and the meaning that can transform normal to the super, secular to Semitism, and feed the need for inquiries and exploration, OpennessAnd even sympathy.

Just like Myers Brigz The test, which has been scientifically rejected but is still being used in many institutions, helps astrology people feel understanding and understanding others. Astrology does not perpetuate its own biases, as many people seek to the baby of their child under the year of the dragon (and even some employers are looking for such workers born fortunately). Others still know excessively on their signs by saying things like, “I am a Taurus, so I’m stubborn” or “I am Leo and I will not tolerate this behavior.” Or they classify others: “They are very virgin and organized.” Such effects (biased, scientific or not) leak into the behavior of the group and leave a complex impression on our actions and beliefs –Unconscious Or not.

Everyone wants the original models, story, and contact. It gives the meaning of life, color and dimensions. Therefore, the next time someone has asked you, instead of rejecting it as smart, search for it as an opportunity to call. You may learn something new.
