it is, like tarot and other methods of divination, a way to cast an externally dictated framing on empirical situations and thus force oneself to reconsider one's biases. personally, i don't know anyone who actually thinks the positions of the planets materially affect outcomes
when i draw the Death in Future/2, it's not that I think, "ah, a major change _is_ coming, for sure, better prep for that" - among other things, that would be useless. instead it's a way of making space to _think about_ what major changes are plausible, and how to deal w/ them

certainly there _are_ people who believe directly in the influence of such things but i'd argue it's no more problematic than people kneeling in front of a rack of candles and asking baby jesus to heal their family member's cancer. it's about comfort and reframing and it's fine.

In software we have a tradition of explaining a bug to a stuffed animal as a method of clarification and introspection. Tarot and I-Ching are like that. Astrology is like that but lazier and less personalized and therefore less effective. - Antworten anzeigen
