People often wonder if their astrological sign has a correlation to their personality traits. The short answer is no. There’s no scientific evidence that reveals that your astrological sign, birth month, or birthday has any real correlation with your personality traits. However, a strong belief in astrology can affect how you view yourself and your self-perception, which is why some people may believe there’s a real correlation.
An article from ‘Psychology Today,’ defines a possible explanation for why people believe in this correlation. The article explains that a strong belief in astrology can lead to an altered self-perception. Believing in astrology can cause you to view yourself differently, and identify with characteristics of yourself that might not be completely accurate. Overall, though some people may find that their personal characteristics align with that of their astrological sign, there’s no true scientific explanation.
Han, this is very interesting! Astrology has always been very confusing to me, and now seeing some science behind why people believe in it is refreshing. Having an altered self perception because of Astrology is something that I believe should be studied more. I think the final statement of “Overall, though some people may find that their personal characteristics align with that of their astrological sign, there’s no true scientific explanation.” gives a good idea of what the article says, and summarizes the post well!
