"Astrology is of particular interest to the psychologist, since it contains a sort of psychological experience which we call projected - this means that we find the psychological facts as it were in the constellations. This originally gave rise to the idea that these factors derive from the stars, whereas they are merely in a relation of synchronicity with them. I admit that this is a very curious fact which throws a peculiar light on the structure of the human mind."- -Depth Psychologist Carl Jung
If I want to know how to live, I consult astrology, by choice, the experts.
Oh and I read the great poets and writers who knew how to live--by choice, the expert poets and thinkers of all time.
Oh and poetry makes me think of and takes me to the Tao.
I also enjoy the mythic world and mythic universe.
These are all I need for myself. Everyone's different. I don't expect you to need or want or feel or think the same.
The three Wise Men of the Bible consulted astrology/astronomy (they were one and the same back then) ro PREDICT the coming of a great King. If it is good enough for the Wise Men and for Jesus, Mary, and Joseph then it is good enough for me. Not to mention how many people out of mankind who are happyt toi call themselves Christian and have the Wise Men to thank for that.
And if I feel like reading psychology every now and then, I read Jung or Hillman.
You don't have to "believe in" astrology to enjoy the planetary archetypes which are named after the Roman gods based on the Greek pantheon. Today/tonight, the Full Moon is in Libra. The Moon, which is the ruler of the astrological sign of Cancer, now has a Mars transit traveling through it, which lends a sensitivity to partnerships. Not all things Mars mean full blown war. Mars rules Aries and muscle and the sparks of beginnings like the equinox that sets the zodiac wheel--and the muscles--rolling or uplifting. In Libra of partnerships, whether romantic or business or relations of your family or tribe, the Moon lends a gentle diffused light onto relations, though this seemingly opposes Martial energy. It blends together, so most people will experience both, even if some feel mostly one influence or the other. This is now so due to society's collective sadness. (On a collective societal level we do not need an astrological analysis to tell us that we collectively are feeling a saddening last straw on the proverbial camel's back.) One thing to consider is that diffused soft light energy is still light and energizing, especially in a Full Moon that is especially strongly illuminating. Libra ruled by Venus (being that Full Moon is in Libra we also have the Venusian influence) brings harmonizing energy to partnerships in reaction, thank goodness, to Mars's war cries. You might put your face paint on before facing the world, yet a subdued sense of forgiveness can be vaguely or mildly felt, though the Libra scales that weigh things and make decisions might take angry tempers back and forth, one minute angry and the next feeling sadness, even in some cases from pity, in extreme criminal circumstances as Libra also represents the Scales of Justice weighing things in Law and Lawful matters. This can affect business partnerships as well as marriages or other legal proceedings. Mostly, Moon in Libra (with its Venus ruler the Goddess of Love and Beauty) is typically harmonious and romantic (though can also indicates dislikes as well as likes), if you believe in astrology, that is. If not, it will all happen anyways, unless you are determined to resist or desist these mysterious invisible forces

The early Christian church was not opposed to astrology, but opposed to believing in the planets as gods. When considered that God created the planets and their energies and effects to not oppose God but be created and ruled by God, there is less Christian opposition to astrology. --(November 22, 2022.)

True Life Tell-All's:
1) I was a 70s TM-er.
2) I love and believe in astrology.
3) I don't believe these things contradict God whether Christian God or other because i
My Astro-Bro, Neil Gaiman, same birthday, same month, same day, same year. My fave contemp author, too. See not all Scorpios are "bad, and neither is 18 degrees Scorpio always " bad."
Mostly, I have found that people who don't know me have often misjudged me, assuming to understand my actions, motives, etc. often when having no idea and being far from the truth. Remember, Jung said, "We don't see things as they are, we see them as WE are." (Emphasis mine). I am generally not one of those jealous Scorpios because I am quite happy with who I am and what I have and have had throughout my life and congratulate and celebrate others' successes. I can say I do wish I were as famous as my Astro-Bro, but not jealous. When others obtain success, I find it inspirational rather than get jealous. I wish people weren't so afraid of Scorpios. Like anyone other sign, they can be either good or bad or a mixture. It's pretty simple, The Golden Rule. Scorpio is not always mean or bad--that is the meaning of the old-world Scorpio Eagle flying above it all. (November 10, 2022, HAPPY BDAY to ME AND NEiL GAIMAN)
