Believe in horoscopes not considered reprehensible. Moreover, this phenomenon is widely spread from TV screens, on the Internet. The whole country knows that it is celebrating not just the New Year, but the Year of the Pig, that Alla Pugacheva is Aries according to the Zodiac, and the most accurate predictions and predictions by date of birth are given by Pavel Globa. But few people think that faith in the horoscope characteristic of infantile people who are afraid to take responsibility for their decisions. They would not go to an astrologer, but to a psychologist.
Children's doubts about the correctness of the horoscope
I learned about horoscopes long before they began to be printed in the newspapers and announced the future of us on the radio.
I was 12 when he, Mystic, appeared in the company of my mother's friends. A young man named Vladimir was passionate about yoga, vegetarianism and horoscopes. Mom, due to her natural curiosity and passion for everything new, actively joined the process of studying "science". In the evenings, when she returned from work, we reprinted the most exact horoscopes in 6 copies.
But doubts whether all these descriptions of the signs of the zodiac, forecasts, auspicious days and other "Sino-Japanese" wisdom are really so true, appeared even then.
I asked myself the obvious question: “My mother and I were born in the year of the same patron, and in the same month. Why are we so different?"
There are even more questions on the horoscope
The deeper I plunged into the topic, the more questions arose. It got to the point that one day a famous "guru" undertook to draw up my horoscope. After a month of intensive work, he passed a “verdict”: either you were not born at this time and in this city, or not a single event in your life could happen to you. According to the most " exact "horoscope I did not exist and could not exist.
I understand this, because no predictions, zodiacs and heavenly patrons of the year have any relation to my life (and to yours too!).
What does it mean to believe in horoscopes, in fate
Believe in horoscopes - means a lot of unpleasant psychological and social symptoms that are unlikely to be inherent in a healthy psychologically, self-sufficient and self-confident person.
- Assimilation. Belief in horoscopes, Feng Shui, as well as the celebration of the Chinese New Year are essentially a way of assimilation of the Russian ethnic group into Chinese. Every year we become more and more "Chinese", with joy and enthusiasm absorbing their traditions like family: we read horoscopes, celebrate holidays, try national, very specific dishes.
- Infantilism. Belief in horoscopes a sign of childish magical thinking. I still studied in a Soviet school, where they told, it seems, in the fourth grade that primitive people did not know the laws of nature and animated it, calling the forces of nature gods. And modern children are raised by mothers who check life according to horoscopes, arrange furniture in the house according to Feng Shui, and choose the name of the child in accordance with Buddhist tradition. But it amazes me: the more enlightened the century (after all, we already live at 21), the more obscurantism.
- Superstition instead of faith. Since the 90s, there has been a fashion for visiting Orthodox churches. Every year there are more and more “believers” who are not embarrassed by the union in the consciousness of faith both in horoscopes and in Jesus Christ. I do not understand how a sincere believer can dress on the day of the circumcision of baby Jesus (dedication of the firstborn to God) “as the Yellow Pig or the Fire Horse loves …” The Apostle Paul asked Galatians 2 thousand years ago: “Now … having received knowledge from God, why Are you returning again to weak and poor material principles and want to enslave yourself to them again? Watching days, months, times and years. "A person who not only attends church and performs religious rituals, but is a true believer, trusts in the inscrutable providence of God, his life does not obey karmic laws.
- Loss of identity … A modern person does not often think about the question: "Who am I?" In search of "themselves" people turn to horoscopes, easily ascribe to themselves those character traits that they "should" have according to the description of the zodiac sign or according to the calendar of the Druids.
- Choice without choice … Worse, there are people who are looking for a life partner for "Exact" horoscopes. They do not look at the family of the chosen one, values, life strategies, do not check for signs that destroy trust. The main thing is to fit the horoscope! And further - more. They begin to choose work and business partners according to the horoscope and live in some corridors of eclipses. Example from practice: A family couple, having received the contact of some miraculous guru of horoscope studies, turned to him for advice on financial investment. As a result, they took out a loan of 6 million rubles and invested it in MMM for the recent second launch. Naturally, they flew like plywood over Paris. Now hide from the collectors.
Start trusting yourself, not the horoscope
“My friends, I assure you, you are not pigs, roosters or monkeys. You are people! You have a unique higher activity of the cerebral cortex - thinking "(Ramachandran Vileyanur, book" The Brain Tells. What Makes Us Human ").
A horoscope is just a universal calendar, the position of the stars is used to record dates - this is the opinion of the authors of the "New Chronology" A. Fomenko and G. Nosovsky.
In my favorite film of my childhood "The Adventures of Electronics" there was a song "You are a man!" with words. They seem to be written about a false belief in horoscopes:
Now they don't trust
As before, miracles.
Do not hope for a miracle -
Command destiny yourself!
After all, you are a man
You are strong and brave
Do your destiny with your own hands!
Go against the wind, don't stand still, Understand - there is no simple road.
Maybe it's time to listen to the words of Yuri Entin's song? Trust God? Or come to an appointment with a psychologist to grow up, learn to make decisions on your own and trust yourself and not the stars? Sign up for a free consultation with a professional psychologist, psychotherapist Maria Kudryavtseva.
