#7: “Oh, I Love Astrology!”
Astronomy and astrology are not the same fields of study. Sure, they’re both based on the movements of the stars in the sky. However, astronomy is based on research and observation, while astrology is based on analyzing the position of stars. Long story short, astrology isn’t really a true science. That’s not to say that astrology doesn’t have its merits. A lot of people add value to their lives through astrology!
But we have some bad news for all the astrologists out there. Most astronomers do not want to be friends. Maybe it’s their analytical, science-leaning minds. Maybe it’s the constant mix-up between the two subjects. If you’ve ever told a world-weary astronomer, “Oh, I love astronomy! I’m a Cancer Sun with Capricorn Rising!” we guarantee that they did not appreciate it.
