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.

Wait, so Gwen the Penguin could have been helping me with my coding and all she's been doing is sitting in my room whilst I work at home? Moving her to my desk tomorrow. She needs to earn her keep.
