Lunchtime Trivia Friday, February 7

Q:  More than one third of Canadians believe in this.  Younger Canadians are more likely to believe this and those over 55 have become less likely to believe in this.  What is it?

A: Astrology.  Many still read their horoscopes daily.

When we first asked questions about astrology in 2019, 36 per cent of Canadians told us they “definitely” or “probably” believed in it – a proportion that rose to 49 per cent among those aged 18 to 34.

In late 2021, the proportion of astrology believers across the country fell to 32 per cent, as older Canadians became even more skeptical than before. Among those aged 18 to 34, belief in astrology grew to 55 per cent.

This year, 35 per cent of Canadians told us they believe in astrology, along with 45 per cent of those aged 18 to 34. We continue to see nine per cent of Canadians expressing a “strong belief” in the concept. The level of “strong disbelief” dropped from 39 per cent in 2021 to 32 per cent this year.
