We consulted some Personare astrologers to find out what they are and the truth behind the main fallacies about Astrology
THE Astrology It is knowledge that has existed for over 5 thousand years. Since then, astrological analyzes have become very popular. However, many times, in an attempt to facilitate understanding, errors about astrology began to appear.
Many of these misconceptions harm the use of astrology as a tool for self-knowledge and personal development, because they reinforce stereotypes and prevent people from accessing their potential.
Not to mention the prejudices and relational difficulties that could be avoided.
With that in mind, we consulted some Personare astrologers to find out what are the main errors of astrology that you have to escape.
7 mistakes about astrology
1. Influence of the planets
Talking about “planetary influence” is one of the main misunderstandings involving Astrology. Second Alexey Dodsworththere are no “astrological energies” that influence or influence us on Earth.
What exists is a symbolic relationship between human life and planetary positions, studied for thousands of years by different peoples and cultures.
Astrologers have researched and found repeating patterns between the planets and our personality characteristics (Understand the meanings of each planet on the Map here) and between planets and events.
But they are simply indicators. There is no cause and effect relationship between planets and events, nor between the position of stars in the universe Astral map and what a person is really like.
THE Horoscope indicates possible situations, while the Map highlights characteristics that can be strengths or weaknesses, depending on how each person uses these potentials.

2. Astrology determines the future
In the same way as “planetary influence”, there are those who believe that astrology (as well as tarot and numerology) is deterministic. THE Tati Magalhaes remember a saying that goes:
“Everything that happens is written in Heaven, but not everything that is written happens.”
What does this mean? Astrology is a universe of possibilities and with which it works hypothesisbut it doesn’t necessarily say what will happen.
“We astrologers always work with hypotheses for the future based on repeating events of the past. We study the relationship between the facts of the Earth and the movements of the Sky and improve the hypotheses, but they are always hypotheses”, reinforces Tati.
So, what is Astrology for? So that, based on these hypotheses, we can design our lives and make better choices. In other words, you don’t change the facts, but you can change the way you react to what happens.
3. Rankings of the zodiac signs
This ranking of the 5 most lying zodiac signs, the strongest signs or the worst signs for dating, etc., is a trap.
āThese types of lists or rankings create the impression that people are standardized, like and are alike, leading to judgments and prejudices about others and, often, about ourselves,ā he explains. Vanessa Tuleski.
By framing behaviors, these lists of “most signs” reinforce stereotypes about the signs, such as that all Geminis are liars, that Aries are explosive, or that all Cancers are crybabies.
āDespite being very popular, these rankings should serve as entertainment, not to put people in boxes,ā adds the astrologer.
Finally, it is worth remembering These generalizations do not contribute to our knowledge of ourselves. We are all much more than a sign and need to be understood in our individuality.
4. Astral hell
The astral hell is one of the most widespread “astrological legends” and, even today, it is not known where it comes from, according to Bela Medeiros.
Many people think that the month leading up to their birthday is always busy, but that’s not true. What happens is that, in the last 30 days before the Solar Return (the anniversary)the Sun is completing its circuit and passing through the last House of your Chart.
āPerhaps, due to the experience of the month before the solar return that occurs in the 12th house from the house of their sun sign, some people feel like their last breath is about to end before they finish the race,ā explains Bela .

5. The signals have changed
Who hasn’t read something like “the signs have changed” or that “the 13th sign of the zodiac has been discovered”? But, according to Alexey Dodsworth, this is not true and never will be.
After all, the zodiac signs are projections of the Earth, dividing the Sky into 12 equal parts. They don’t “actually” exist.
“But since some celestial constellations have the same name as astrological signs, many people confuse and he thinks that signs and constellations are the same thing, but they are not. In other words, the constellations may change position over the years, but this does not change anything for Western astrology,ā explains Alexey.
So don’t worry. Your signal (as well as other points on the map) will not change. The only thing that can change is how you see it. After all, you mature throughout your life, making more use of the potential described in your Map, but this never changes.
The same goes for the astrological analysis of the planets:
“If a planet ceases to exist in Astronomy (as in the case of Pluto), the symbology related to it remains intact in Astrology. In this case, it is as if astrologers only lost the index,” he concludes.
6. The ascendant becomes stronger after 30
Many people believe that the Ascendant sign takes precedence over the Sun sign when we turn 30. This is a mistake, according to Vanessa Tuleski.
To understand our personality it is necessary to take into account all the planets. What can happen is a planet acquires relevance at a certain point in life through a specific transit.
THE Return of Saturnfor example, it means that this planet has returned to the same point it was when you were born. Receiving a Pluto transit on your Ascendant can bring you major transformations for more than a decade.
āThe Sun is our essence and the Ascendant is linked to the direction of life. Both are important functions, but they are separate and always will be, regardless of age,ā explains Vanessa.
As we mature, we may be able to better understand who we are in various aspects of life, commonly known as self-knowledge!
7. Retrogrades are always negative
Many people cringe just hearing about it Mercury retrograde. By the way, he also ends up fearing other planetary retrogradations. But there are many misconceptions about this topic and Tati MagalhĆ£es has highlighted some of them.
First, retrogradations are “normal” movements of the planets and occur every year. Just to highlight the most well-known, Mercury retrogrades not only every year, but it happens three or four times a year.
Secondly, retrogradation is good for many things, so we don’t have to be so afraid when they happen.
“It’s good to know so we can plan, because there are, yes, things we can avoid during each retrograde transit, depending on the planet involved, but there’s no need to be scared. Many interesting things can happen during these times“, reassures the astrologer.
According to her, retrogrades are positive periods for revisions (see all the dates of retrograde planets this year here). In other words, you can take the opportunity to revisit something from the past, revisit a project, perhaps reflect on necessary changes in your life.
“Astrology does not exist to enslave us, but to make the best of every energy, every moment”, concludes Tati.
