How do Astrology zodiac signs have an effect on your personality traits? There has not been a certified answer relating to how astrology has an impact on our personality traits. But we do know that there is always a positive and negative characteristic towards every zodiac sign. And different signs seem to display different characteristics.

 

“Every zodiac sign is associated with positive and negative characteristics; this tension compels life forward and outlines the journey from youth to maturity.” – By Laken Howard https://www.bustle.com/p/how-does-astrology-affect-your-personality-the-one-thing-people-look-up-to-you-for-based-on-your-zodiac-sign-2443233

 

Constellation culture meets people’s psychological needs in at least two ways.  The first is the need for a sense of belonging.  People need to divide themselves into a certain group in order to feel the security brought by the collective and avoid the unease caused by loneliness.  The second is auxiliary decision-making.  Since ancient times, human beings have been seeking to help themselves make various decisions by means of divination and prophecy, asking God for divination and other acts.  Because human personality is multi-faceted, everyone has many personality characteristics, and these personality characteristics will belong to different constellation templates.  For any constellation, as long as they can find the characteristics that match the description for one or two days, many people will think that the constellation is accurate, and ignore other characteristics that do not match.  When people are told that their character “should” belong to a certain template, they may form a psychological suggestion to move closer to that template in their future lives.

 

Another research has shown that a Renowned psychologist Hans Eysenck and a British astrologer have jointly conducted a study.  This astrologer has many students, and he asked more than 2,000 students to provide him with their birth dates and to participate in filling out a questionnaire on Hans Eysenck’s personality.  According to the results of the survey, those whose zodiac signs are related to extraversion score significantly higher than others on the extroverted personality trait, and those whose zodiac sign is related to introversion also score higher than others on the introverted personality trait.In addition, people with earth signs score very high in mentality and emotions.  In other words, this survey is almost exactly the same as the ancient legend, which surprised many skeptics of astrology.  However, Hans Eysenck does not think so. After analyzing the statistics, he found that almost all the people who participated in the survey believed in astrology, and they had already known about these astrology legends, which affected the survey results to a certain extent, because  Respondents felt that they should have certain astrological traits, and were “forced” to admit certain traits that were not very prominent, leading to surprising consistency in the findings of the Yu legend.  So, Hans Eysenck conducted another set of experiments, this time the test subjects were a group of children who did not know the relationship between horoscopes and personalities. The results came to the opposite conclusion. These children had nothing to do with their constellations in terms of scores.  The horoscope has no effect on their character at all.

 It can be seen that the astrology of a person at birth does not have any influence on his personality, and almost all influences come from the day after tomorrow.  In reality, those who know astrology very well can unknowingly become the type of person described in their zodiac sign.  This research by Hans Eysenck has undoubtedly brought a lot of impact to the astrology community. Many people expressed their resistance, which led to astrology suppressing Hans Eysenck’s research conclusion.

Unit 2 Draft Introduction

The question and topic that I am researching are Astrology and zodiac signs. And do they have an impact and affect your personality? I believe this is a pretty interesting topic to look into because I am always wondering whether or not these astrology signs tells us who we are and why is it so accurate based on some people’s trait. Do I believe in astrology and zodiac signs traits? I would say half and half because these are the types of things that are non-scientific approved by any professionals. I am a Pisces and that is a water sign, I think it portrays my personality pretty well. And I want to know how come people don’t get along with each other sometimes or even the first time when they met, is it because of their signs not compatible or do they just think differently and have a different mindset? and why do they think the way they think? or simply asking how does different zodiac signs’ brains process the way they do and make decisions based on what their brain is telling them to do. And let’s say Leo is a fire sign, does that mean everybody that’s Leo is all very outgoing?  Or some people follow more on their heart than their head and the other way around, is it because the traits of their zodiac sign made them work this way? In this research topic, I expect to find different traits of All twelve signs and how are they different from each other. How come some signs are not compatible with each other and which signs are compatible and get along with each other well.  And knowing the mind process of each signs and knowing How does different signs react or feel towards certain things. The reason why I expect to find answers to these questions is that it helps me understand different Astrology signs better and in other words, it helps me understand people partially better. Not because just knowing if our signs are compatible with each other or get along with each other well enough, but learning different types of personalities and the way different zodiac signs process the way they do. If I end up finding information that goes completely against what I expect to find Its totally fine with me because I Just want to learn more about astrology and zodiac signs and their personality traits.
