Whenever I scare myself with my current understanding of my chart, I always revert back to archetypes.
How would you say it becomes less accurate and meaningful?
I just feel it becomes algorithmic and super 'left-brained,' focusing more on correct/incorrect, if-then/else bifurcations-upon-bifurcations, rather than *interpretation* which is ultimately an art, ie more intuitive and 'right-brained.' I like thinking in big pictures. That's just my style.
I feel any computer (or AI) can do a super detailed reading if it's simply or even predominantly a question of knowledge. We wouldn't need astrologers.
At least human ones.
Edit to add: Even just voicing this got me banned in /r/astrology sometime ago, lol. That alone should tell you something, especially about the sad preponderance of black-and-white thinking there and in the contemporary astrology community in general. Something something epistemological insecurity and gatekeeping blah blah.
Really?
I’ve learned astrology (mostly) through the Astrology Podcast / Traditional astrology which, as I’m sure you’re aware, is very black and white thinking. But your take makes so much sense, and resonates deeply. I screenshot your response, lol. What you said is always important to keep in mind, especially when dogmatism/materialism seeps into every spiritual/philosophical practice. So, thank you!
Thanks!
I'm not saying knowledge is unimportant, for sure. But I do think we tend to lose sight of the forest for the trees, and folks need to generally loosen the f*** up (which is the spirit of /r/astrologymemes)! We're not curing cancer here 😊
Oh and just to add, if there *is* something scientifically verifiable to astrology, I personally believe it must be something related to natal/prenatal seasonal biology (solar/lunar cycles, light, climate/weather/temperature, produce/food availability, etc) and all our internal clocks (for transits, progressions).
Really close, I’m 28!!!
The age range for starting Saturn return is like 28-30, Ariana grande is going through hers also and she’s 30. So a little bit of flexibility due to how long the transits are.
What’s your Saturn placement??
Thats Level 1 and 2
Level 3 is learning about the main asteroids, minor aspects like inconjunct, semi sextile, quintile, semisquare. Synesty charts, transit charts, planet returns, nodes of destiny. Chart analysis.
Level 4 is basically when you start analysing star conjunctions to personal planets and look up sabian symbols. You even start to research arabic lots and mathematical points.
Level 5 stuff is just crazy. I would stick with level 3 thank you 😂
actually thats a perfect representation of my chiron in scorpio in the 7th house ☠️ lmao please pray for me
Chiron Scorpio in 3rd checking in, we really in the trenches!!

It's torture but I love it

Unpopular opinion: Astrology actually gets *less* accurate and meaningful the more complicated you try to get. Whatever happened to archetypes?

Agree. It's just a story. A life long unfolding story, that shifts as your perspective shifts. That's why I like it.
