I’m not steeped in the techniques of it enough to give you a testable theory. I function more in that blank space, archetypal kind of knowing. I wouldn’t doubt there are some out there though, hold on let me go quickly skim that book and see if I can find something for you

Not a theory for you to test but here he conveys what I was saying in greater depth

this all sounds like anybody could have made it up - could I then pick literally anything and then derive personality correlations from it, like the arrangement of rocks, as indicative of cosmic state at the time?

No, but, the thing that is important to note is again the difference in the age when astrology was developed. Those people they operated in a different state of relation with the world than we do now. I don’t think it was ‘making it up’ so much as receiving a deeper intelligence

The same way some indigenous tribes come to know how to utilize & make healing mixes of certain plants that would otherwise be deadly

They figured it out after a huge amount of generations plus trial and error plus passing down wisdom, that's how. "Deeper state of intelligence" - what is that? How do you know it's there? How do you know you're not just believing what feels good?

And who’s to say the process of developing astrology was any different? And deeper state of intelligence. Like the intelligence that codes our dna. Innate intelligence as wedded into all things by virtue of it simply existing.

I could ask the same to you. What feels good to you is rational dissection of meaning What feels good to me is interwebbed creation of meaning. No better or worse, simply modes we operate from.

The pursuit of curiosity and skepticism has *actual results* - it rescued me from a fundamentalist cult and from being a housewife with five kids right now. If I'd kept with the interwebbed creation of meaning route, I'd be suffering way more.

I don’t think it’s so black and white. Creation of meaning is what allowed you to see that the world you were within was not one you wanted to inhabit. Why not just tolerate it? Because you knew there was better out there, because of some meaning you attached to your life.
