The popularity of astrology is one of the few things that makes me feel really despondent about current culture. It seems such low hanging fruit for even a basic amount of self-skepticism. Can any astrology supporters explain why they believe it?

Because it works? I have plenty of good experience with natal chart interpretation. Astrology is not the stuff in the magazines, or identifying someone with their sun signs. It's more like breaking down a poem

of all of the replies, this is the only one that resonates for me. ppl like astrology bc astrological practices work for them, ex. I learned more about myself & my day to day moods from tracking planetary hours than using mood trackers. magic is sometimes more useful than science

The question of whether something works - what tangible results it produces in one's experience - is IMHO the only metric for evaluating such practices. I would recommend the writings of John Michael Greer as a good introduction to these subjects:https://www.ecosophia.net/blogs-and-essays/the-well-of-galabes/ …

@choosy_mom for you in particular I would recommend starting that collection of essays at the beginning and working through it sequentially, I think it might provide a useful framework for further exploration1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
