Astrology Memeing



Rooted in mythology, Astrology for centuries has been important in Greek and Roman culture. Many historical accounts attribute astrology's origins to the Babylonians, however the exact origin is unknown.

The ongoing debate of Astrology's credibility has made it's way into it's own sect of internet meme culture. Those who ascribe to belief in the Zodiac, create memes centered around the truth of each Zodiac sign's traits and behavioral patterns. Those who oppose astrology, deeming it void of any truth, create memes sarcastically poking at those who choose belief in the Zodiac.

For that reason, I chose to create the meme above. This meme can be perceived neutrally, either side of the credibility debate can appreciate the humor. Those who ascribe to astrology can find humor in the irony of choosing to make jokes about the signs rather than studying them in a more academic sense, and those who believe astrology is nonsense can find the lack of true study displayed in the meme humorous.

My personal relationship with astrology is neutral, I see it in the same sense that many see religions, I believe we as humans don't truly know the exact answer to the truth or fallacy in any sort of spirituality. Comment below your thoughts on astrology, and if you like, your Zodiac sign and why or why not you think you relate to its characteristics!

  1. I totally can relate to this post. I believe in astrology but also follow a few meme accounts that make fun of astronomical signs. I follow a libra account because I'm a libra and although it's funny, sometimes it's accurate too! Honestly I think I'm a pretty spot on libra.
