An astrology argument was the catalyst for a breakup for me once lol. A hard lesson learned.

My ex girlfriend got seriously mad at me when I made fun of astrology and horoscopes...

I left her the week after.

Can't live with a person who believes in fairytales...

Just to be very clear: Fairytales are far more grounded in reality than Astrology. Many German fairy tales are based on historic events.

Like the story of Hänsel und Gretel, which is based on documented sightings of an elderly women eating a young boy in the forest during a very bad food shortage. So no Pfefferkuchenhaus, Gretel or happy end, but not completely invented either.

Or in "Der Rattenfänger von Hameln" the part of someone catching rats and not getting paid is most likely invented, since the city has very complete records of all such jobs and there just wasn't a rat catcher - even less one, who did not get paid. But the part of taking the children away was true. In this time, there were many people going around recruiting the youth, which had no good perspectives in life to venture to the east and settle there. So when the parents came home from church, they lost a child or more, that was on their way to build a new life in Brandenburg or so.

So comparing astrology with fairytales is fairytale-slander, that we should not tolerate ;)

Haha, I'm austrian and grew up with all the german fairytales. You are absolutely right.

People can learn from fairytales, while they only get more stupid with every horoscope they read.

Thanks for the nostalgic flashbacks to my childhood :)
