Why are men who are into astrology/spirituality so rare?

[Umoja]

Because we need to take control of our lives.

We are simply hardwired differently. It is easier to go with the flow when you've been conditioned to seek out a provider.

When you're a man, you're expected to be responsible for your survival and the survival of the family. Can't turn around and blame hungry bellies on the will of the spirits.

It is sad that this is even questioned. Being a responsible man really is a thankless job.

That astrology stuff seems more woman related than anything. I can’t imagine sitting in a barbershop and nikkas talking about are Cancers compatible with Aries or some shyt.

"Who they attractin' with that line, "What's your name, what's your sign"

Because ALL of that shyt is rooted in babylonian rites. The origins of these tenets alot of yall women adhere to are deeply, deeply founded on some wicked shyt but they dress it up nice for yall to lure yall into worshipping deities u have no knowledge of...its unfortunate honestly

Baby my zodiac sign is a cancer

That means I just want to grow inside of you



I'm actually a libra
we'd have to be skipping my birthdays so she doesn't know it was all begun with a lie

If you look into natal charts, and not that surface level sun sign stuff, it’s pretty accurate for your personality and life experiences. But those daily horoscopes are absolutely made up fluff.

There is but it’s not expected of us because we live among dead men..breathing but not living, having the ability to see but not having the vision, speaking much but ultimately saying nothing. They are worthless and sottish men.

Im not even sure how you tied your spirituality with the ability to take care of your family, but ok.

Just remembered I know another guy whose into it. He's a farmer who goes by the phases of the moon old school almanac style, which works for that purpose. Using the moon in that way apparently is more in sync with nature and helps you to grow better vegetables. Its the way they used to do it before mass farming and production became the norm.

Women are more naturally spiritually in tune than men. I actually started off trying to disprove Astrology after a conversation and it got to a point where I couldn’t refute what I seeing. Astrology takes a ton of research and time to know and people usually don’t like thinking that deep.

Most people who look down on it don’t even have a proper understanding of exactly what it is. It literally is the key I want more black people to use it to their benefit it literally holds all the answers.

Also once you get to a certain level of understanding in Astrology it literally will challenge everything you thought you knew about life, belief, ect; so ignorance is better off for some people.

Are you a woman? That is probably why you don't get it.

As men, we have to be focused and deal with the things that we can control. If my girlfriend needs to take time off to look after her mother, I don't have the luxury of saying the spirits will provide. My mind would have to focus on the losses income and what I need to do to fix it (work overtime).



It is one of the things I don't think is considered enough. The pressure on men to perform. That it is overlooked becomes apparent when people question why we don't waste our time with fantasy.

Women stay asking for shyt out of men they don’t actually want

there’s plenty of hotep nikkas out there talking about chakras. They don’t like them though.

I get the concept of being responsible. I am the "leader" of my household and handle every bill, issue and problem that arises, so I fully understand dealing with situations out of your control. What I'm telling you is your spiritual and religious beliefs don't impact the willingness or ability to handle responsibility. You make it seem like men that ARE spiritual don't handle their responsibility.

Also, in your scenario, if she's not your wife, you're not responsible for figuring out the shortfall in income from taking care of her mother. I would hope she wouldn't leave you with that burden either.

This reminds me of when sistas say "Why aren't more men in the church."

nikkas be working. Ain't got time waste with celebrity readings and saying you can't get along with a nikka cause of his sign or what have you tbh. And just like the church it seems like a good 90% or maybe more of astrology is straight up horseshyt.

Not to mention bytches who are into that shyt heavy have the most fukked up lives from my experience.
