Okay, so if I take for given that me being born under a constellation that looks like a crab has some immutable affect on my personality, what exactly is causing that?
Does the constellation represent a deity who is projecting psychic energy on me that molds me in a way representative to itself? Are the stars themselves having some kind of gravitational effect on my brain chemistry? Does the cosmos function in some strange way where people born under a certain alignment of the celestial bodies end up having a different psychology?
Sorry to be a nerd about this but I don’t like the idea its just pure vibes, I’d like some understanding of the actual causation here.
I think that the modern practice of astrology is intentionally vague on this point because you’re supposed to fill in the blank yourself. Whether you believe in psychic energy or spiritual power or guardian angels, you can nevertheless participate in astrology and most importantly purchase astrological tchotchkes ranging from telescopes to tarot cards to shiny crystals.
