Why do so many people believe in constellations?

I think quite a few people believe in constellations for three reasons. Constellation culture is suitable for socializing, and the subconscious affects one's behavior. It is a popular hobby that can provide social circles.

Constellation culture is suitable for socializing.

I believe many people will encounter such a scene. At friends' parties, people you don't know are often asked about the constellation after exchanging names. This is the embodiment that the constellation culture is suitable for socializing, because it is something that everyone has, and this question will definitely get a response. Accordingly, after getting the information that someone is a certain constellation, you may talk about some hobbies related to this constellation and get to know each other better from this starting point. Constellation culture develops best among young people, because the frequency of young people making friends is much higher than other types of people. Constellation is a very easy topic to mention in their communication, especially now.

The subconscious affects your behavior.

There is a saying that it is because of Barnum effect. Barnum effect means that people can easily believe a general description of personality, thinking that this description is particularly suitable for them and accurately reveals their personality characteristics, even if the content is empty. My understanding is that when we look at the interpretation of constellations, we are actually "looking for identity". The interpretation of constellations is mostly general, and the descriptions of various constellations are actually human's * * *, but when we "re-interpret", each of us will automatically ignore those inaccurate and absorb those we recognize. A typical example is: there is a "xx dog not to talk about". If the predecessor happens to be this constellation, there will be a strong sense of identity. But it can't be said that the interpretation of constellations is worthless or completely incorrect. People need recognition, especially when we encounter something that cannot be explained by reason, we need to find a relatively reasonable explanation elsewhere and find a sense of identity. So when we study constellations, we are actually looking for the explanation of the part of our personality/career/love that we agree with. In a sense, constellations and religious beliefs are consistent. When you choose to believe, he is the answer.

It is a popular hobby that can provide social circles.

This is easy to understand. Constellation culture is loved by many people. Even if people who are not interested occasionally brush their constellations while brushing videos, they are likely to stop and watch. Many people in life may become friends and establish friendly communication relations because of the constellation. It is a strange hobby that covers everyone, because everyone will find their own horoscope, and the analysis of horoscopes and the interpretation of fortune are endless. As a public hobby, it is very qualified and will not collapse. The constellation is real as long as you are willing to believe it.

That's all the answers ~
