Even though the science doesn’t support it, I am always curious about my horoscope. I find astrology fascinating, and always hold a glimmer of hope that there is some truth to it. After all, there is something comforting about feeling like a part of a larger group.

The group I belong to is Scorpio. I am also a millennial. Two labels that are assigned based on when one is born, and both carry a stereotype or generalization placed on them by other people that influences their personality, life outlooks, and more. When combatting ageism, it’s easy to identify groups based on these names, but is it doing more harm than good?
