Recently, I’ve found myself feeling a sense of weariness towards astrology. Please don’t be quick to criticize or disagree—I still deeply admire and respect this discipline. I see it as a channel for communicating with higher consciousness.

This feeling of weariness stems from a period when I became overly immersed in using astrology to predict all sorts of matters. Over time, I realized that the efficiency of astrological predictions does not compare favorably with other predictive methods. For instance, using meteorological models combined with historical weather data to forecast the weather, or employing large-scale surveys and data analysis to predict election results or societal trends, often proves more effective.

However, in moments of crisis and difficulty, when I had exhausted all other methods and felt completely at a loss, astrology managed to provide me with some helpful insights. My most profound experience comes from lost-and-found horary charts—thanks to their guidance, I’ve successfully located many lost items.

Perhaps I need to return to the original intention of exploring astrology or other divinatory practices. Through them, we can discover the multifaceted nature of ourselves and learn how to live in harmony with who we truly are. They also remind us that we are part of a larger universe, and that every event and challenge holds deeper meanings and multiple perspectives. This realization helps us approach life from a broader, more expansive viewpoint, even though I may not yet fully grasp what those deeper meanings and complexities are.

hi wei

i think what you are going thru is perfectly natural... i come and go with astrology too... i think you summed it up very well in your last paragraph.. cheers..

You don't have to believe in astrology to see it working.
Most of my life, I have been a witness of my own chart. I was not in the driver's seat.
When I saw difficult transits, astrology helped me see how long it was going to last.
In most instances, an artistic activity will do better than astrology.

I hear you. Astrology does not provide an EXACT predictive method. Everything must be "interpreted" through symbolism, and symbolism can be tricky. This can be frustrating for those of us who like precision and clarity.
I've been trying to put words to this for awhile. Astrology has "something" to it, but that "something" is elusive, mystical.

Is astrology a faith or a
scientific discipline?

The elders called it “ART”.

Is our horoscope the mirror of our soul
or is our soul the mirror of our horoscope?

Sorry, the term “soul” does not speak to me.

When you say ”our”, who is this ”our“, which possesses horoscops and souls? This is beyond the huge web of interwoven beings and things which is shown by astrology, isnʼt it?

It's just an attempt in a language that is not mine, George. If you say astrology is just art then an horoscope hasn't any objective truth but only the projection of the soul who looks at it.

The term art in earlier astrological sources is often misunderstood.

Speaking about "language".... astrology is exactly all about the sky-script, or messages written in the stars above. The celestial sphere as a whole is like a wall of dots/letters for us earthlings to read and interprete.

Who left these messages up there and why? It can only be the One who created Heaven and Earth, Time and Space.
