    Apparently some people still think astrology = the horoscopes they read in the newspaper! LOL

    Horoscopes only deal with a tiny fraction of astrology, the Sun, because that fits best in a small space and is easiest to look up. Astrology does NOT try to fit everyone into 12 boxes. Contrary to popular belief, it has never been "debunked" by science because the ones trying to debunk it stop at the newspaper columns and never explore the subject in its entirety. In fact, most of the arguments used against it show a total and utter lack of understanding of what astrology actually is and what it actually does.

    How do I use astrology in everyday life? I use it to understand myself and the important people in my life better, to time my actions with greater success (scheduling writing time around good Mercury aspects for example), to understand the life cycles I’m going through, etc.

    I don’t believe the planets "make" anything happen to you, they’re only reflecting what is already happening via synchronicity. So when it comes to "predictions," I feel astrology is only able to predict archetypally. A particular aspect can play out in an infinite number of ways, but it can not "just mean anything," it will stick to the archetypal themes of the planets, signs, houses and aspects involved. So I would say it can give me a kind of "mood" of a particular day, not the specific events that will happen. Generally I tend to have a better day if I’m acting in line with that "mood."

    To me, it’s no more "fortune-telling" than estimating when a child will lose their baby teeth or forecasting the weather, and there’s no such thing as being 100% accurate. We’re astrologers: no psychic powers expressed or implied. How often is the weather-man-or-woman 100% accurate? Yet they still keep their jobs and aren’t ridiculed for it.
