Many people are curious about how many individuals believe in astrology and why they do so even though their own experiences contradict it. However, we must first establish more fluid categories of belief and denial in order to answer these concerns. We can’t just declare that certain people entirely believe in astrology while others completely reject it. Even for skilled astrologers and scholars, it is a difficult topic to answer.
Over 90% of adults, according to research, are aware of their sun (zodiac) indicators. According to some surveys, well over half of people think the character descriptions for the signs are accurate: Ariens are energetic, Taureans are stubborn, and Scorpios are secretive, for example.
From 1998 to 2012, I circulated questionnaires to public groups and astrology conferences to find out what the most committed “believers,” that is, people who are dedicated followers or professionally interested in astrology, thought. The goal of this recently published study was to determine how many people believe in astrology and why they believe it. The majority of published figures for astrology belief come from Gallup polls conducted in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States between 1975 and 1996, in which around 25% of adults polled said “yes” to questions like “do you believe in horoscopes?”
We may expect all astrology practitioners and students to declare that they believe. When I asked participants at a British Astrological Association conference if they agreed, just 27% replied yes, which is roughly the same as the general population. When I asked the astrologers who didn’t “believe” for their reasons, they said astrology is no different like television or music in that it is true and has nothing to do with belief. People only believe in things that don’t exist, or to put it another way, they only believe in things that don’t exist. As a result, public belief polls can produce erroneous results.
