The Problem with Astrology is....

The Problem with Astrology is....
The problem with astrology is it offers explanations but no solutions.
So, in addition to genetic/physical explanations of our problems, in addition to societal explanations of our problems, we now have an astral one.
Sometimes those explanations may be valid. They don´t solve the problem.
Some people are very happy to get an astrological explanation of their problem. It seems to give meaning to their suffering. There might be some benefit in that; however, there is also the danger that they do nothing about solving the problem. You come to Astro-seek and chatter, chatter, chatter and for some reason think that is going to solve the problem. It won´t.
Astrology then becomes just another distraction.
There is astrological magic, medical astrology and electional astrology. Now these may (or may not) help you solve a problem. Leave them aside for the moment, I am talking about natal astrology.

Crucial thing is to give up and brake romantic mindset.
We are deeply poisoned by romance and being so we are unable to recognize who is good and who is not good for us.
Romace is acctually a cold-blood machinery invented to force us to enter unnatural relationships...

Like natal astrology is who you are when you were born and then there is a path you should go to but you don´t want to because you have no idea where it leads. Maybe the sollutions are to be discovered and the road is the goal, not where you are going. You kind of know when you have arrived when there is people in your life you don´t want to leave behind, like never?

Are you water rising? You need water around you. Are you a fire element, you need heat, or maybe you love cold when you were born in the winter. You´ll recognize the energies like a shell feels the moon. A lot of life goes around our moon, it follows the tides... The sun is a bigger impact but slower. Winter, Summer, dry season, wet season... But our rising sign might be the most overlooked and most interesting after all.

Thanks. I had never watched it and enjoyed it immensely.

TV with a story and Characters. No special effects or over dramatic direction or editing.
A person with a smart phone, good script and some decent actors could make that kind of art today for almost nothing.

Maybe not. It was written by Richard Matheson who is one of my absolute favorites.
He wrote the next Shatner Twilight Zone story about the gremlin on the plane. Horror at 20,000 feet I think is the title.
His short stories were adapted for so many excellent tv shows and movies.
The writing for The Twilight Zone was special.
I discovered a number of excellent writers through it.

It can help the newbies put astrology in its proper place, and help the old timers keep it in perspective.

I don´t know about that ram_goat. It could be because I´m just stupid and never fully learn the lesson, but I find myself falling into the traps I mentioned :)
This post is above all directed at me :)

We´ve all lived long enough to see and learn the real value of these things, but there is always a never ending flood of newer, less experienced people who are born, come in here, ask the same stupid questions, fall prey to the same intellectual errors.. "sea lawyering"..
Priests must deal with the same problems, incessantly. Since time immemorial..

Well we have that in the West also. The best text on this is Charles Saunders:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/…
I am only beginning to investigate that, so I don´t know. Just because some people say it´s effective, doesn´t mean that it is. I shall go about it with an open mind.
As far as Planetary Magic, Christopher Warnock is a good source.
There is enough truth in astrology that I will continue studying it. I do have some doubts about the usefulness of natal astrology...and I am HIGHLY dubious of psychological astrology, since it was kind of created out of thin air by Dane Rudhyar, et al and has never been scrupulously tested. People sort of accept it on faith, like they do with the corpus of astrological material.
Astrology will always be an art, but we do need more Gauqelin´s to rigorously examine it.
If you notice, most natal astrologers are really good about going back and reverse engineering after the fact. That´s a very nice parlour game, but not of much use. Natal astrology seems pretty much that to me....it´s a nice "ice breaker". You can chit-chat about it ad infinitum ( i.e. astro-seek) and so it´s a nice social tool. Otherwise, it´s not very useful but to the extent that it does work, one has to ask, WHY?
It seems like Horary astrology might be worth pursuing. It seems like it would be potentially useful and easier to test than natal astrology.
At this point, seeing very little use of natal astrology, as such, I will probably turn my attention to planetary magic, medical astrology and, above all, horary. Stay tuned for my results!

I agree with you because when I´ve started to examine astrology, especially my birth chart, I was suprised how signs, their positions and aspects are accurate to me. I believe everyone is fascinated with birth chart and natal astrology because of our ego. We all wanted to hear some stuff about ourselves because astrology isn´t mainstream thing and it´s completely different from daily horoscope in newspapers. It´s the easiest way to deal with problems accusing astrology aspects for our behaviour, acts etc. I think natal chart is just potential that shows our identity´s surface and it is created for something bigger, especially negative aspects like squares which can learn us to fight in life for what we want and overcome challenges and some barriers.
