Astrology as in the supposed prediction of how one will experience his day?
It's all bullshit.
In fact, it's all generalized to such a point that most people believe it out of pure ignorance.

Okay. Hold the fucking telephone pls.
Are you actually postulating that all (or even the majority of) human beings born on days 20 March – 20 April or whatever, are physically alike? Are you serious???
That reeks of pure, undiluted, woo-inspired insanity

Chill, dude.

And I should trust a vague website rather than a peer reviewed article, why?

No, there isn't. Just a lot of confirmation bias and vague, arbitrary generalizations. It's all nonsense and there isn't even a question about it. The only reason astrology still exists, is that frauds... I mean astrologers ignore all the evidence against it and focus on catering to ignorant, uneducated and desperate people - in order to fleece them. Also - to intelligent people astrology appears as such obvious bullsh*t that it's not even worth debunking, just like - say - the belief in fairies, or homeopathy.

Dude. What is that supposed to tell me dude? It just asserts what you've already asserted.
How does all that crap work?
Do you actually believe that both innate and acquired traits of a person depend on the day of their birth? Do you realize how arbitrary our 'days' even are? Do you realize you're talking about bodies light years apart from each other? And that their 'positions' are merely the angles at which we observe them? Do you believe you can actually tell so much about a person by knowing their date of birth?
I'll say, why the fuck isn't this being used in marketing?

Clearly, if you need to continually provide silly articles for us to read rather than explain anything yourself, then you cannot be taken seriously.
