Interesting. Apparently, I'm a Gemini, sted Cancer. My first wife is a Taurus, sted Gemini. And my second wife is a Leo, sted Virgo.

I don't believe in any of this shit, but it's interesting to see just how unscientific it is.

As a teenager, I loved reading my horoscope in gossip magazines. But even then my friends and I knew it was nonsense. For us, this was a fun pastimes for bored teens. So I was surprised when my hairdresser recently asked me my star sign. When I shared my opinion on astrology and horoscopes, she simply replied, “Typical Taurus.”

Astrology is currently experiencing a remarkable renaissance—especially on social media, where posts about “Geminis,” “Leos” and “Virgos rising” are everywhere. The trend may partly reflect how deeply people want to identify with personality types and, in the process, gain some insights into an uncertain future. And perhaps surprisingly, many astrology posts come from people who consider themselves to be scientifically inclined.
