Gosh I wish I was good enough to have all of that memorized
The important thing to remember is that it's not an exact science, like psychology, which astrology is based around. The field of astrology wasn't designed to predict the future, but to track trends of personalities based on where and when someone was born
I use astrology more in terms of synchronicity. Like if I read about my planet sign going through some surge growth and I'm doing such and such in my life, it can help me find the resolve to do things
Like my star sign is capricorn, which are very hard core determined people. Not all of what a capricorn is defines me acutely, but that doesn't make it wrong per se since there's much more than one star sign influencing things
I just kinda look at what it says about my star chart and see what could apply to my life. At the very least I'm doing shadow work, Carl Jung's shadow work. At the most I'm understanding myself on deeper and intimate spiritual levels
I guess another example would be like the full moon. It's written as like a spiritual time to reflect on your life from the last moon to this one. Depending on where the moon is and yadda yadda, there are unique variables that may relate to the person. I like to read about them and see what I can apply to myself and what I can learn and use to my benefit
In other words, there's maybe not too much sense in using it as a predictive tool, but it can be a framework to use to understand and motivate and work on yourself? Or to put it another way, it's about as useful as what it draws out of us? I like that way of looking at it. Makes me feel a bit less like I'm being bamboozled haha.
I mean I also use astrology to help prepare for things
This might be where it starts to get murky, but if the cosmos are aligning in a way that's supposed to propagate some change or influence, I can see how it affects my star chart (which just as a ball park I would say is 80% accurate) and some of the astrological dilemmas I might be faced with
But that's more or less the same, for me anyway, as a dream about being chased which would have helped cavemen survive an impromptu assailant or just trying to listen to my subconscious in general
how valid is astrology
