Comment on A simple experiment to demonstrate that Astrology does not work is to keep a detailed journal of events, and periodically check past horoscopes for accuracy.*

Astrology used as a predictive engine obviously doesn’t work. Anyone using it that way is using it improperly IMO. It’s more like procedurally generated advice. For example, mine says there’s a conflict between old and new, and to embrace change while drawing on past lessons. Super vague, can apply to anyone. But it resonates and gives me something to focus on. That’s really all there is to it. Trying to “prove” it doesn’t work is like trying to “prove” wrestling is fake. That’s not the point, man.

It is advertised as such, so I hope you can forgive those using it improperly after being mislead by those pushing the practice.

It is at best a placebo and at worst a life destroying belief. Self reflection and keeping long term journals is far better for what you use Astrology for than Astrology.
