Critical Thinking · Standalone Session
Astrology & Confirmation Bias
Not a session about whether astrology is real. A session about what happens in your own head once you already have an opinion on something — using astrology as the example, because it's low-stakes enough to look at honestly, whichever way you lean. Evidence first, verdict left to you.

Notice which paragraph you argued with hardest.
Whichever way you came in on astrology, one slide in this deck probably felt like it was reaching, and another felt obviously correct — and the split likely tracked your prior belief, not the actual strength of the evidence on each slide. That's confirmation bias caught live, in you, in the last five minutes. You don't have to leave this room agreeing on astrology. If you leave able to catch that same pull next time it's a business decision, a hiring choice, or a claim about your own work, the lesson worked.
