    It’s too bad when people take these things too seriously. Astrology taken as an amusement or even as a personal meditation/problem solving toolbox (IMO, Tarot excels in this) can have some value. The horoscopes and natal charts haven’t really never interested me, but there are some variations like horary astrology that are a bit quirkier.

      Naw, it’s fun to just deadpan it with facts, imagining the voice of Richard Ayoade. ;)

      And, +1 for Tarot. I was doubly dismissive of it for ages (oft saying things like “just read the room/reality all around, without the reductive set”). Now it’s fun to entertain ideas between there being some kind of quantum entangled collective unconscious stuff going on, and it just being placebo positive ideas to Rorschach-test over and introspect and reflect upon.
