I remember a while back in a gaming forum I go to, one guy commented that he got a Moon in Cancer in a thread I created and he stated while some of the things does match him, he was rather skeptical because so many of the statements were so vague. Particularly on "Cancer Moons are homely". His response was "wouldn't anyone be most comfortable in their home?"
I seen similar attacks on Astrology and now that I think of it, they do have a point. So many statements in Astrology such as "Geminis are the bookworms of the Zodiac" are rather vague themselves. I mean wouldn't most intellectuals and scholars be bookworms themselves? How exactly does being a bookworm separate Geminis from other signs considering in some occupations and social subcultures READING is a must.
Another favorite is the claim to attack us that Scorpio is the Rebel of the Zodiac. Actually I already can easily counter this with examples and explanations of my own but they do have a point. Wouldn't most kids have been rebels at some point in their lives?
I may be an enthusiast of Astrology but I will be the first one to support skeptics in the "its vague that it can be applied to anyone" argument. I won't deny it helped me a lot but I will quickly admit its so vague at times it can indeed apply to anyone unless one decides to look at the whole chart(which most skeptics and the general populace won't).
I actually enjoy playing Devil's Advocate recently and bringing up both common sense and scientific statements to debunk Astrology! Not only does it help me understand Astrology more but it also helps me realize to get away from the groupthink this hobby is seriously full of as I seen on a few Astrology forums including one where I got banned from.
Besides unless you study your whole natal chart, Astrology interpretations-even taking into account deeper concepts such as Moon Signs and Ascendant-is indeed vague. Its only when you start reading the whole chart and analyzing how different placements interact with each other does it truly begin to become (scarily) accurate.
But even when you start reading the whole chart, unless you learn the fundamentals of the basic planets such as what the Moon and Venus does and what the aspects are, reading a whole chart and trying to see how different concepts interact with each other still remains vague. It takes at least 6 months to even get the basics down to read the overall spirit of your chart.
So I completely empathize and side with the general populace, skeptics, and scientist who bash Astrology because of having such vague descriptions. I agree unless you get deep enough to learn basic jargons, Astrology descriptions are indeed vague as hell that you would feel you're reading a con artist if you use common sense and skepticism!
