Astrolosplaining

A form of Digitalsplaining where the perpetrator dismisses any idea by comparing it to astrology, zodiac signs, or horoscopes—framing it as inherently irrational, unscientific, and vaguely mystical. The astrolosplainer says “this is literally astrology for X” or “you’re basically reading horoscopes,” regardless of whether the target’s work has any connection to astrology. The tactic relies on the cultural stigma against astrology to delegitimize without argument, treating the comparison as self‑evidently damning.

Example: “She developed a framework for understanding personality through narrative archetypes; he dismissed it as ‘astrology for psychologists.’ Astrolosplaining: using a label to avoid understanding a new idea.”

Fortune-telling-from-da-stars bu**s**t dat predicts whether you'll be allowed some tail in da near future.

Asstrology can work both ways, y'know --- you might be told seemingly-positive stuff (i.e., "You'll definitely get some a**") by a medium, but it could just as well actually mean dat you'll encounter one or more individuals who either derisively moon you or behave like a total "donkey-orifice" towards you.
