A Hug without u is just toxic!
I'm way behind here warning of the cue for a pile of "uranus" being the star butt of jokes.
So annoying. Uranusiance.
It's too bad that jokes about Uranus don't combine well with jokes about astrology, since astrology was invented before the discovery of Uranus. It would have been great if astrology did account for Uranus, since Uranus has been the butt of many jokes.
Edit: I just looked it up and my mistake, modern astrology does account for the position of Uranus. It apparently represents "individual liberty, egoistic liberty." Apparently Uranus was in Sagittarius (for what reason I will not speculate) when I was born, though thankfully I didn't witness that personally.
Most people I've encountered who are into astrology ignore the planetary signs and alignments completely. Weirdly this annoys me far more than just believing in it. Like, if you're going to put your faith in a fantasy system and make actual life decisions around it, at least take the actual details of the fantasy seriously. How dare you oversimplify my personality to just my solar birth sign, and not account for my lunar and planetary signs as well. Was Mercury in fucking retrograde when I was born? What House were they in? Were any planets in alignment or opposition? Because details matter, and according to your stupid system those are important details. If you're going to believe in bullshit, the least you could do is actually commit to it. Come on single-sign-astrology people, get your shit together and stop half-assing it. Or, even better, you could just forget the whole thing because it's all nonsense.

All major religions have left the chat
Sounds like somebody woke up on the wrong side of Uranus today.
Perhaps the position of Uranus this morning did influence my decision, who could say? I've wanted to write a nice rant on astrology half-assing for a while and this morning I saw this post and thought "why not today?"
That's such a Virgo thing to say.
The only star sign that's useful for making predictions is Libra. If you're a Libra, then your parents totally boned down at Christmas time
