Hi Jp896....there's one thing I always say, you're never alone in being alone.
And you're a Pisces - me too.

Illusory correlation is the phenomenon of seeing the relationship one expects in a set of data even when no such relationship exists. When people form false associations between membership in a statistical minority group and rare (typically negative) behaviors, this would be a common example of illusory correlation.[1] This happens because the variables capture the attention simply because they are novel or deviant. This is one way stereotypes form and endure. David Hamilton and Terrence Rose (1980) found that stereotypes can lead people to expect certain groups and traits to fit together, and they overestimate the frequency of when these correlations actually occur.[2] People overestimate the core association between variables such as stereotyped groups and stereotypic behavior.[3]

Is that somewhat like Schrodinger's cat?

I have my own theory of quantum possibilities: That is, if I believe it may be possible, then it's possible that it may be possible.

Although I wouldn't be dismayed if my current horrorscope is incorrect. It says something about moving this year, and I can't even begin to deal with the idea of moving right now. :wink:

Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory (TV Show): "For the record, that psychotic rant was a concise summation of the research of Bertram Forer, who, in 1948, proved conclusively through meticulously designed experiments that astrology is nothing but pseudoscientific hokum."

Astrology is nothing more that pseudo-scientific nonsense.

Poll and logic say nope, not at all.

And I bet almost no people in the ASD believe in this.

That has nothing to do with Schrodinger's cat at all...
It's psychology, not quantum mechanics.

Till he appears, I will give it a shot, k? : )


You have Mars and Mercury conjunction in the first house,
so you are a warrior using your mind and words to prove your case and life.
with sextile to Saturn , which gives you seriousnes.

When it comes to neurodiversity,
Moon square Saturn and Neptun from 8. might be showing as deep anxiety
Saturn in the house of friends can make you rather alone or lonely,
even though the Venus can help a bit.
Saturn tends to overcompensate though..do you really try hard to have friends?
Uranus and Pluto in 3. shows you mind is weird ; )
and I mean it in a really good way.
You are definitelly very smart and original.Sometimes though brutal (mind wise) and radical (Jupiter square)

You love people, but you can be seen as too harsh and radical.
(Venus 11. square Pluto from 3.)

You can be actually real fun, but easily can go overboard( aspects of Jupiter in 5.)
Also, you are very creative and have special interests you enjoy A LOT.



Now, please know, I looked at your chart trying to point some aspects that connect to ASD.
And there goes this saying:
::It's a wise man that rules the stars. It's a fool who is ruled by the stars.::
