Social media is giving a lift to the centuries-old practice of looking to the stars.

According to a 2018 poll by Pew Research Center, 29% of Americans believe in astrology, up from 25% in 2009, which might be why so much viral wedding content on TikTok includes astrological wedding seating charts and "the zodiacs as wedding dresses" videos.

Social media is giving a lift to the centuries-old practice of looking to the stars to decide on the exact time, date and location of a couple’s big day.
