just your typical gemini

“astrology has absolutely no correlation with illnesses”

“your looks have nothing to do with astrology”

“astrology isn’t inherently negative”

“astrology stereotypes need to be disproven, it isn’t real astrology”

im sorry but you’re all WRONG

1. gender identity does matter because it shows how we express and relate to the archetypes. do we identify as male (sun + mars) or female (moon + venus) or both or neither (fluctuation)? for example, if we identify as male we will express mars much more strongly (unless mars is dominant or in conjunction with sun, moon or ascendant), and it will be the primary placement that will determine how we approach one to one relationships.

2. for some reason a lot of you added the word mental in front of illnesses. i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say its because thats what tumblr as whole seems to focus on. anyway, i mean all illnesses. mercury retrograde transitting the sixth house can give someone a migraine. as for mental illnesses stressful saturn to moon aspects indicates an anxious person. i dont know if some of you are aware, but anxious people are more likely to develop anxiety. weird i know

3. your looks do have to do with astrology, but i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt again and say you dont know this because youve been caught up in the “the rising is your looks” drama. what has to do with ur looks? sun, moon, first house, stelliums and most of all ur dominant planet. and yes of course genetics matter but they matter in relation to astrology. the characteristics you inherent are caused by your chart. ive talked about this before, and i might make a post on it but right now this one is long enough

4. astrology is inherently neutral. your natal chart is simple a snapshot of the universe at that time. and the universe doesnt care that you have 10 squares and only 2 trines thats just how it worked out and its now up to you to make the most of it.

5. disproving stereotypes in astrology is mostly stupid as heck because they’re derivative from actual traits. nobody cares that personally ur virgo ass doesn’t like cleaning u dont need to make a post about it, because if you knew anything it stems from virgos perfectionism. saying things like “libras aren’t flirty” because you aren’t or ur an internalised misogynist and u think it makes you look bad actually just makes u look stupid. because libras are inherently flirty and if you personally aren’t, its YOU who is stereotyping the sun signs by not taking a further look into your chart.
