New Age of Thought
Millennials have created some of the most controversial trends that exist in the modern world. They have created trends in fashion, food and even spirituality. Freedom of thought is highly accepted in today’s world but there are always those who oppose popular beliefs. There are many reasons why millennials choose to follow these ideals and they all fall along the lines of finding meaning. Millennials often find it helpful to look into ways to understand their potential romantic partners, to recognize their life cycles, to understand themselves more, to predict their future and to understand the world around them.
What in the World Is That?

Chances are you have a general idea of what astrology is. People use the moon and stars to tell them why the girl/guy next door will/will not work out for them. That is generally true, but there is a deeper background behind its existence. It has been a thing for thousands of years and it has become modernized to relate to humans today. There are twelve zodiac signs – one for every month – and they all come with their own horoscope. It first became widely accepted during the 1960s and 1970s and died out until around 2013. Internet culture has since then adopted it and continues to spread humorous and relatable content about the various zodiac signs. Another phrase for this is horoscopes. Horoscopes have their fair share of supporters and haters; however, if you’re a millennial it’s likely that you support it.
Pursuit of Romance
Thanks to the popularity of the zodiac sign, people often ask others what their sign is before falling in love. This may appear odd to some, but those who believe in the power of zodiac signs find it helpful to avoid signs that do not match with theirs. The rules of horoscopes state that some signs are not compatible with others due to clash in interest or personality. What’s more, millennials often choose to use zodiac signs to explain why their romantic partners act the way they do. Zodiac signs are a method millennials use to see through others’ intentions.
Determining a Cycle
Horoscopes are also used to understand the cycle of a person’s life. It isn’t uncommon for millennials to use it as a way to figure out how to handle the challenges of existence. For example, it may be helpful to look into your zodiac sign to understand why you always feel depressed in the summer. These millennials believe that these cycles exist and they can easily be broken down to an understanding. It’s not a scientific process but it essentially derives from the placement of the sun, moon and planets. Clearly, there isn’t any evidence that horoscopes are correct but it just has a different logical reasoning behind it.
Tell Me About Yourself
Personality is something that is important to grasp when not only addressing others but also yourself. Your zodiac sign is widely accepted to explain your tendencies and characteristics. Something that millennials often go to for help is the horoscope. They are often weekly or daily predictions about your zodiac sign ranging from how you may feel at the moment to how you will handle what is to come. This is a huge part that people like to take and run with. There are plenty of memes out there that illustrate how one zodiac sign interacts with another and millennials often eat that up.
Can You See Your Future?
While horoscopes are different from fortune telling, they share some characteristics. They both are used to predict the future. People often use the alignment of the planets to come to a conclusion on how time will go in the future. Have you ever heard anyone say that Mars is in a retrograde? Well, this often leads to millennials believing that they have some good or bad luck coming their way. Essentially, planets affect how a person’s future will unfold. This is essentially how it works with astrological logic and that’s another reason why it is so popular among today’s millennials.
Finding the Meaning of Existence
Human beings have questioned the meaning of existence since the beginning of time. It is something that people often worry about and horoscopes help to alleviate some of that confusion for some people. It is often used to explain why the sun isn’t shining the way it should and other earthy events. Understanding the way the earth works is comforting and it is easy for millennials to look for signs to guide them to acceptable answers. There is no doubt that this logic will continue to be used by generations to come.
Moral of the Story
Astrology isn’t just a game that people play to entertain themselves. It isn’t a fad or something that was just created. It has a long history and millennials have decided to take it and call it their own. There are many memes that are spread out throughout the internet that are relatable and help spread the word about zodiac signs. It is a topic that can be used in a variety of areas and millennials are using it to bring purpose and excitement into their lives everyday.
