Any of y’all get judged for liking astrology? Do you care? How do you handle people who rag on you for believing in it?

I'm from Toronto, a stellium Scorpio, a nursing student, and a Catholic. I like reading natal charts and interpreting them. Astrology is not science, and it's not a religious faith.

My classmates read Astrology. Some of them think it's for fun. Some of them believe it's the be-all and end-all. Two of them were Muslims, and two of them were Atheists. Do we consider Astrology as a religion? No.

What I do know is that Astrology makes me happy. I think that's what matters most to me. I don't care what people think of my belief as long they don't hurt or bully me about it.

Some guys think I'm weird for asking their birth charts to check it in Astrodienst for compatibility. I don't get mad at them for not trying to be open-minded. I move on and ghost some of them. Does it affect me when someone talks shit about Astrology? Yes. Do I do anything about it? Sometimes, when I think it's worth my time to explain to them the knowledge I've gathered.
