I mean, the sun is a star, and that one definitely affects your life

[–] ares35@kbin.social 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

earth is a planet. it might play a role, too.

oh, planets, plural. well, jupiter's massive gravity helped clear and shape the solar system, and the planets (except mercury) align to its orbital plane, not the sun's 'equator'.

Also there are tons of people who do give in to astrology that do effect your life by their reacting in different ways to how others read those signs.

But since they all listen to different astrologists and those provide uncoordinated predictions that influence is somewhat mitigated because it affects you in all directions at once

Not depending on the time of year you were born though

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

eh, I have my birthday near midterm season every year, I'd say that's the sun's fault for being where it was when I was born.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Earth's fault for it to rotate around a fixed axis at that spot relative to the sun each year.

So horoscopes are true after all, who would have guessed

What constellation does the Sun belong to?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

The Big Lamp of course

Depends on who you ask!
