Why I Believe In Astrology
It’s not what you think, I think

The stars within ourselves
Human beings have stumbled upon many discoveries. They also have invented things. Sometimes, they combine a discovery and an invention.
This is the case of how we learned to observe the stars.
Then we mixed the whole hot mess together like a burning star system.
But, there are sucky black holes throughout.
We have invented many religions, myths, and memes. Like money. Or, an economy. Then, we give them power. I have always been extremely skeptical about the idea that the positions of planets and stars as viewed from Earth affect us.
But, at the same time, I am absolutely certain that our human psychology DOES empower ideas. Then they take on a kind of control in and of themselves.
For me, then, all this talk of astrology being pure bunk is pure bunk.
Astrology doesn’t work because you were born on a Wednesday when mercury was retrograde and Scorpio was rising. No. That’s a bunch of Taurus.
