Okay, so if I take for given that me being born under a constellation that looks like a crab has some immutable affect on my personality, what exactly is causing that?

Does the constellation represent a deity who is projecting psychic energy on me that molds me in a way representative to itself? Are the stars themselves having some kind of gravitational effect on my brain chemistry? Does the cosmos function in some strange way where people born under a certain alignment of the celestial bodies end up having a different psychology?

Sorry to be a nerd about this but I don’t like the idea its just pure vibes, I’d like some understanding of the actual causation here.

    I’ve always assumed that any personality differences with astrological signs have to do with the seasonal differences of in utero and baby-age existence. Like, someone who’s a baby during summer might be temperamentally different from someone as a baby bundled up during winter. Because of temperatures, light levels, and behavior of the parents and people around.

    Now, this, of course, falls apart once one considers different climates and latitudes.
