I believe in it as a conduit for intuition and impulse. I think it clues us in to our higher self, and helps focus our thinking about issues and challenges in our lives.
As far as astrology is concerned, Mercury Retrograde is always depressingly reliable in terms of disruption - its almost comical once you start seeing it.
For context, I was an atheist who mocked this stuff for most of my life, but definitely a believer now.

@jademonkey19 It’s called divination. There are many objects and body parts used in fortune telling. Astrology and tarot cards? You’re a psychic with a gimmick.

@BlueSkyKing I made no claims to fortune telling; I said I thought they were useful tools for connecting with our own impulse and intuition.
I do find mercury retrogrades to be reliably disruptive (based on observation and experience), to the degree that I tend to be more inclined to expect miscommunication and malfunction around those times, and to be ready to roll with the punches.

@jademonkey19 Anecdotal. Link up one site that shows it works and how it works.

@BlueSkyKing almost by definition, all experiential evidence is anecdotal, no?
I'm not claiming either astrology or tarot are science, or that either tool offers testable or repeatable results.
I'm claiming that they are *useful to me* in helping me think about challenges and issues in my life; helping me to be in tune with my own wants, desires, and worries, and to explore those thoughts and feelings. This is not a grand claim that requires debunking or proof - it is a subjective claim from a satisfied practitioner, who isn't trying to change any minds.

@jademonkey19 Always an excuse for not providing one link. Our solar system formed for the sole reason to program human personality? And commercially manufactured playing cards will help guide your life?
Did you fail your science courses? Science about the methodology. Which type of astrology? What pattern of cards? Every website is commercial, out to lighten wallets. For you, cut rate psychology. Based on randomness, not reality.

@BlueSkyKing 🫂 I've literally just said they're useful tools for helping me sort and consider my thoughts and feelings.
This is not much different from saying I like mint chocolate chip ice cream; reeeelax.
