Based On Many True Stories (Unfortunately)

The internal screaming of an astronomer forced to listen to astrology talk is perfectly captured by this sad doggo! While the girlfriend chats about Mercury retrograde causing her bad hair day, our astronomer sits there knowing that actual Mercury is busy orbiting at 107,000 mph around a nuclear fusion reactor we call the Sun. The cosmic irony of studying celestial bodies scientifically while your social circle attributes personality traits to arbitrary star patterns is just *chef's kiss*. Scientists everywhere know this pain - spending years learning the actual mechanics of the universe only to hear "I'm such a Gemini" as an explanation for complex human behavior.
