    That’s not a yellow flag, that a flashing red flag. It tells you that they will probably believe all the quasi scientific-sounding fads that come up, and also that they are not good at critical thinking.

      Yeah, i didn’t explain myself very well. What I meant was being into astrology is a yellow flag, so you have to find out if they enjoy it a bit as a hobby, which is fine, or if they’re “true believer” into it, which is not fine.

      You are making a ton of assumptions based on stereotype. Not all people with tarot decks and star charts are anti Vax flat earthers. Just like not all Christians are pro life bigots. You are painting with a extraordinarly broad brush.

        If you truly believe that your date and time of birth has any relation to your personality traits, them the only thing I am assuming is that you are a moron. I didn’t say anything about anti-vax or flat-earthers, though they are also morons.

          has any relation to your personality traits

          Well, most people don’t literally think that. There is a reason most horoscopes just use different adjectives for the same couple of things. Honestly, I feel like you are kinda self reporting for that “talking down” red flag I was speaking about originally. I don’t want to argue, you do you. But I just think you should show a bit more respect for people with different past times instead of assuming the worst of them. It’s a fun way to look at the world, nothing more.

            Sure, but on the other side of the coin, there’s not much use in respecting a child playing doctor when they try to talk to you about medical procedures.
