“I’m a Virgo”

By: Allen Dinber N. Juntilla

We've all heard of zodiac signs, but do you know what yours is? If you're a Pisces, you're
emotionally sensitive; if you're a Scorpio, you're loyal; and if you're a Leo, you're confident.
What if I’ll slap this personal development into your face? G'day to everyone! I'm Allen Dinber
N. Juntilla, and right now I'm going to elucidate to you how ridiculous it is to believe that your
zodiac sign defines you.
One of the 12 distinct zodiacal constellations that the sun transits in astrology is known
as a sign of the zodiac. The location of the sun at the time of birth determines a person's zodiac
sign. According to astrology, a person's zodiac sign might foretell their personality. So it's safe
to conclude that my horoscope is to blame for everything that goes wrong with me, including
the time I tried to do art because it said Virgo’s are artistic yet I draw like a toddler drawing or
the time I tossed a boomerang and now live in continuous fear. I also once saw a meme where
the girl said, “Growing up with three parents was weird,” a guy replied, “what?? u had three
parents??” the girl answered,” Yeah my mom's a Gemini.” They even get to the point where
they will use their parents as subjects for their predictions, which is how stupid it all is. Consider
the following scenario: You have a friend that shares your exact personality but you have never
seen or heard of zodiacs. When you and your friend both noticed that you and your friend have
different zodiac signs but the same personality, this is when you first learned about zodiacs. As
a result, there is no scientific basis for zodiacs, so why trust them? Astrologers claim that
changes in a planet's velocity will have an impact on your personality, however, NASA has
found several planets that are not yet known to humanity. Remember how NASA verified
Kepler-186f? Other than our sun, the habitable zones of stars are the same size as Earth. Fun
fact: Astrologers will manipulate you into believing what they want you to. If the astrologer says
that you have experienced difficult times in the past, you will immediately recall all the
difficulties you have faced. Everything is psychological. Astrology comes in a variety of forms.
Have you heard of the Western, Chinese, Burmese, Tibetan, and electional horoscopes? Yes,
precisely!
Relying on such beliefs to know yourself or to predict what will happen in the future is
nonsense. I would rather believe the genogram than astrology to know what’s what. You should
know the best for you and what is your personality, zodiacs aren’t the ones making your
personality, you are! Are you letting yourself be defined by society or the media? Noel Coward
said, “I don't believe in astrology. The only stars I can blame for my failures are those that walk
about the stage.”
