Do you think astrology can influence human behavior in various areas of life?

Translated to English·

Astrology is an ancient discipline that claims to establish links between the position of the stars at the time of a person's birth and their personality or destiny. Many people believe in it and find that it brings meaning or reference points to their lives.

However, from a scientific point of view, there is no solid evidence that astrology can actually influence human behavior or reliably predict events. Studies conducted have not demonstrated significant correlations between planetary positions and personality traits or behaviors.
That said, astrology can have an interesting psychological effect: by providing symbolic frameworks, it can encourage self-reflection, help one better understand themselves, or consider certain situations from a different angle. For some people, it can be a source of comfort or a guide in times of uncertainty.
In summary, even if astrology does not directly modify human behavior according to scientific criteria, it can nevertheless influence how individuals perceive their lives and choices through its symbolic and narrative dimension. So it all depends on how one uses it and the place one gives it.

It seems you have already reached a conclusion.

I don't think I drew any conclusion. I simply wanted to know, in a more in-depth way, what people who are interested, near or far, in this divinatory art think about it. Do people around you or acquaintances consult astrologers to know their future? Thank you for your short but interesting answer and good luck on this site.

From the problem statement in the title to the issues and then your own conclusion. I can tell that you are very intelligent and have been exposed to many things. With my sensibilities, I felt that it would be difficult to provide an answer that satisfies you. Also, if you have any overflowing emotions, I would be happy to hear them here.

Personally, I think fortune-telling is like counseling, where, based on statistical data and trends, you guide the person being told their fortune toward the answers they want (for better or worse) through conversation. It probably gives guidance for doubts.

Your reasoning is good regarding the advice or prediction that a person hopes to hear. Since astrology is not an exact science, it is futile to believe that the stars influence our behavior and predict, even less, what might happen in the near or distant future. Thank you for your response and glad to have received it so quickly. Your image gallery is interesting. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

If you ask Japanese people if they're interested in stars, it's probably the Gold Saints of the zodiac, or the Death Star next to the Big Dipper, or Nostradamus's great prophecy planetary alignment, or maybe Sailor Soldiers lol.

They are truly people for whom the phrase "born under that star" fits perfectly (lol).
Well, the only stars that directly affect Earth are probably the sun and the moon, right? 🤔 Moon Prism Power!

As a European, I obviously don't know the examples you cite. However, what is, according to you, this great prophecy of Nostradamus that you refer to? While browsing your gallery, I saw your image creations which are interesting. Thank you for your quick response and good image creations.
