The first question I would ask myself to check Astrology is "How does Astrology work on other systems in our universe?" One will find that is cannot be validated due to it not being practiced in other celestial systems. So, my follow up question would be: If Astrology cannot be tested quantitively, how is it able to be verified in the first place? 😅

Astrology is birthed forth from Alchemy, and as an Alchemist I can inform you that the way Astrology is being used today is very different than its original use historically. Creepy people who squeeze out money with TV or onine services in Astrology, extreme claims to do things that where not historically within the scope of Astrology, and not to start about the "trendy lifestyle stuff" that is often making it more appear like a persistent hype kind of thing.

The practice of Astrology by itself is valid, but only when it is used according to its intended use. I am not talking about predicitions of personalities through Astrology or making prophecies of ones day.. Traditional Astrology worked on the interconnective layers of celestial behavior, and this was often used to convey messages not appropriate to its time, because the behavior and practices around Astrology worked like an encoding system to make agreements upon, such as on which moment to meet.. remember, no one had a clock in those days.. people in these Arts used Astrology as an advantage to better understand and organize themselves and others, later people began to reform it into the mind forecasts and stuff you see today. Over time, the practices it produced created the system most astrologists use and love today, but it is flawed. If using Astrology as a communicative tool to organize thoughts and understand celestial movement, I would say I would consider it highly valid. 😇

The main benefit of Astrology is that it can be used across languages. It is an artform that expresses relationships between celestial objects to convey a meaning. Because of this, one does not require language to chat to another tribe, one would simply express the Astrology.. it was since ancient times the Twitter of the Occult world.. and to this day still is. Its values are determined through conventions that date back to the stone age when human ancestors started to draw pictures.. It was used to great effect in wars to predict floods, winters, and celestial movements.. It shaped culture, it shaped society.. but many forgot this.. and so in the end only the social aspects remained dominantly visible, and this also being the reason why Astrology is still being able to be used for things other than mental relationships..

All in all, Astrology is very valid, but it does require to grasp the context to be able to use it as intended. Astrology is a soft science, based on conventions, but with real applications, real values, and a history deeper than most often consider it to do have.. I hope this helps to get some idea of what Astrology is about! 🤍
