When you look at only Sun Signs, yes. Horoscopes are written to be vague on purpose.

For that reason I used to really disparage astrology. Like I'd read my horoscope for a laugh, but it never really fit.

About 15 years or so ago I started paying a bit more attention to it, did the full chart -- not just the sun sign. And when I read the full chart, it was...a little eerie? Like someone reached directly into me and laid bare all my personality secrets, everything.

That, combined with witnessing the real-life effects of the celestial bodies on our lives** kinda pushed me into going "Ok, there's something here."

Now, whether there's ALWAYS been something or if that something only exists because enough people have poured enough belief into it over centuries....eh. Philosophy questions. Not useful to me. What I've noticed is -- there is something, so regardless the source, I pay attention.

I do charts for loved ones and when you do the full thing -- suddenly little things make sense. Could they all also be explained by childhood, upbringing, trauma, etc? Sure. And if it were a one-off, maybe I'd be disinclined to put much stock in it. But it's a pattern. Whatever the reason behind said pattern, I can see it's a pattern and I try to pay attention to those.

So I've read more and more, gotten more into it. I mean, it's no crazier than the rest of my religio-spiritual beliefs & practices -- I've been a pagan since childhood, semi-raised in the Goddess Movement, learned how to read oracle cards and cleanse auras when I was like, 6. Currently call myself a polytheist witch.

And once I started getting more into astrology & paying attention to more of it (beyond the vapid, shallow basic stuff that appears in Cosmo or whatever mag is popular now) -- Idk, a lot more stuff makes sense.


**Anyone who says the Full Moon has zero effect on us has never worked in a hospital. Or healthcare in general. Every healthcare worker I know -- regardless their beliefs on astrology in general -- agree the Full Moon effect is a thing.

the only serious starting points for someone interested in astrology.

There's also a third book 'Jung On Astrology' that is a collection of his essays and speeches, but that should be read afterward.
