Both astrology and racial stereotypes are based on a framework of belief that basically says: Without even meeting you, I believe something about you. I can expect this particular sort of behavior or trait (stubbornness, laziness, arrogance, etc.) from members of this particular group of people (Jews, blacks, Aries, Pisces, etc.). When an astrologer finds out a persons astrological sign, he or she will bring to that experience a pre-existing list of assumptions (prejudices) about that persons behavior, personality and character. In both cases, the prejudices will cause people to seek out and confirm their expectations. io9/why-believing-in-astrology-is-not-as-harmless-as-you-th-1595802206
